$3,295

The ULTRAChecker combines airborne and structure-borne detection into a single, easy-to-use instrument. Designed for operations driven safety and reliability (ODSR), ULTRAChecker advances asset reliability by engaging more inspectors in the battle against unplanned downtime and energy waste.

ODSR stands for Operator-Driven Safety and Reliability—an approach that empowers front-line teams to detect issues early and take ownership of equipment health. ULTRAChecker supports ODSR by giving operators a simple, effective tool to find leaks, assess bearing condition, and verify lubrication—without needing to wait for a specialist.  

ULTRAChecker is ready to use out of the box. It’s portable, intuitive, and doesn’t require technical training or system integration. Within minutes, your team can start capturing meaningful data and making smarter maintenance decisions.  

Very quickly. Identifying a single compressed air or steam leak can save thousands in energy costs. Add in early detection of bearing or lubrication issues, and ULTRAChecker often pays for itself in a matter of weeks—sometimes even days.

Operator-Driven Safety and Reliability

OPERATOR-DRIVEN RELIABILITY involves equipment operators utilizing straight-forward condition monitoring tools to enhance their equipment knowledge and identify potential faults as they occur to relay back to their maintenance & reliability team.

Most condition monitoring solutions are far too complex and expensive for the simple requirements of operator-driver reliability. Therefore, equipment operators should seek a simple, affordable, yet still versatile condition monitoring tool. They should seek the ULTRAChecker from SDT Ultrasound Solutions.

ULTRAChecker Applications 

Ultrasound condition monitoring provides reliability teams with the earliest possible warning signs of rotating asset degradation, allowing for the maximum amount of time to plan & perform maintenance interventions and order necessary spares. 

A combination of airborne and contact ultrasound monitoring techniques help inspectors monitor bearings, motors, pumps, couplings, belt driven systems, fans, conveyors and more. 

Recent changes to NFPA70B mandate the use of predictive maintenance inspection on all electrically charged systems. Ultrasound’s ability to detect a wide range of defects in their early stages is why it is outlined by the NFPA as an inspection technology. 

Ultrasound excels at detecting medium & high-voltage electrical system defects like arcing, tracking, corona, and partial discharge. Improve electrical asset reliability and reduce safety hazards with ultrasound monitoring. 

Air, gas, and vacuum leaks waste energy, strain equipment, and drive up costs. In noisy industrial environments, these leaks go unnoticed, reducing efficiency and reliability. 

The SDT340 cuts through the noise, pinpointing leaks with precision. Locate, tag, and repair leaks to boost efficiency, sustainability, and system reliability. Stop wasting resources—detect and fix leaks before they drain your bottom line. 

Over & under lubrication are the leading cause of bearing failure and up to 80% of premature bearing failures can be attributed to poor lubrication practices. Mitigate the guesswork, and ensure grease is only applied when needed. 

The SDT340 lets you monitor bearing friction in real time, preventing damage and waste. Grease with precision, extend asset life, and keep your equipment running smoothly.
