Ultra Composite Edition
Composite manufacturing requires a perfect vacuum, as any leak in a bag can compromise the final product quality and will require additional time for repair. The traditional leak detection methods are tedious, time-consuming and heavily user-dependent.
Including a software dedicated to specific needs of composite manufacturers, the hand-held Ultra CE detects leaks at a distance and with unmatched speed. Ultra CE excels in finding leaks in noisy areas.
Ultra CE's 124 microphones detect ultrasounds and reconstruct the location of the sound source, i.e. the leak. Combining the acoustic information with the wide-angle optical camera, the precise location of the leak is shown on the screen on the back of the ultrasound camera.
The real-time visualization enables staff to fix leaks efficiently. The recorded images and videos can easily be used for reporting purposes.

Ultrasonic Vacuum Leak Detection
Acoustic Leak Imaging is a technique that allows you to analyse the sound emitted by leaks, determine their exact location, and display them on the camera's screen.
10 times faster than traditional methods
Traditional methods to detect vacuum leaks — such as listening or ultrasonic detectors with headphones — require the operator to thoroughly check every potential leak point with the risk of missing leaks. With ultrasound imaging, detection is performed at a distance, much faster and leak locations are clearly visible on screen.
Uncover leaks in bag folds
As sound propagates, hidden leaks in folds that are hardly found with other techniques can be detected with ultrasound imaging.
Repeatable and efficient method
Ultra CE is an easy-to-use device, so anyone can find leaks reliably, even at a distance. Survey images are self-explanatory.
Robust to surrounding noise
Ultra CE actively filters background noises and detects leaks even in noisy areas such as production halls.
Enable a permanent availability of your camera with Ultra Ready: wall mounted box with dual charger
Production hall Distran camera compartment
Ultra Ready is a protective wall-mounted box, compatible with Ultra CE. It holds 2 built-in battery chargers.
Placed in a production hall, Ultra Ready makes the Distran camera accessible to any operator when a leak is suspected or when every part has to be checked.
Two batteries can be charged in parallel at full charging speed, away from dust.
Inspection reports with Audalytics
Ensure traceability through digital reporting
Images say more than a thousand words when it comes to finding leaks. To keep track of these findings, Distran offers an integrated reporting tool — Audalytics. It enables the operator to create a report embedding pictures, videos, and notes within minutes after the inspection.
Operators can then share their findings with their team, directly in the browser where videos are embedded seamlessly (without requiring an additional software). Special software features allow data-trending, dashboard functions and recording of voice notes.
