NDT Advance Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, President: Yoshitomo Fukazawa), which sells non-destructive testing equipment, will begin selling the 'Contrast Sensitivity Gage' used for evaluating the contrast sensitivity of radiographic imaging systems on August 6, 2026. This product is a gauge for contrast sensitivity evaluation based on ASTM E1647. ■Overview of the Contrast Sensitivity Gage The Contrast Sensitivity Gage is a gauge used to evaluate the contrast sensitivity of radiographic imaging systems based on ASTM E1647. It is used in radiographic testing using X-rays and gamma rays to confirm the differences in density or thickness that can be identified on the image.

NDT Advance Co., Ltd., which sells non-destructive testing equipment, will begin selling the Semiconductor Wire IQI (Image Quality Indicator for Semiconductors and Electronic Components) on July 30, 2026, to verify image quality and reproducibility in radiographic testing of electronic components and semiconductor devices. The Semiconductor Wire IQI is an IQI based on ASTM E801, designed to confirm image quality and reproducibility in radiographic testing of electronic components and semiconductor devices. It is composed of transparent acrylic resin, shim material, lead particles, tungsten wire, and lead identification numbers, and is used according to the transmission conditions of the electronic components being inspected.

NDT Advance Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, President: Yoshitomo Fukazawa), which sells non-destructive testing equipment, will begin selling the 'nanoXspot gauge,' a gauge for measuring focal spots with a size of less than 100µm, on August 5, 2026. ■ Overview of nanoXspot gauge The nanoXspot gauge is a gauge designed to measure focal spots smaller than 100µm. By analyzing the acquired images with dedicated software, it can evaluate the distribution, size, and shape of the focal spots. It is used for quality assurance of X-ray tubes and is compliant with focal spot measurements based on ISO 32543-4 and ISO 32543-5.

NDT Advance Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, Representative Director: Yoshitomo Fukazawa) will begin selling its new non-destructive testing black light, the "UV-365MAX Series," starting August 4, 2026. The "UV-365MAX Series" is a black light for non-destructive testing that meets the requirements of non-destructive testing standards such as JIS Z2323, ASTM E3022, AITM6-1001, and RRES 90061. It is a higher model that increases the number of UV-LEDs from three to four in the UV-365 series, emitting ultraviolet light at 4,500 μW/cm² from a distance of 38 cm. Additionally, it can illuminate a diameter of 24 cm with an intensity of over 1,000 μW/cm². The "UV-365MAX Series" includes three models: the standard model "UV-365MAXHC," which operates on AC power; the battery-operated "UV-365MAXZHC"; and the "UV-365MAXMHC," which supports both AC power and external batteries.

NDT Advance Co., Ltd., which sells non-destructive testing equipment, will begin sales of its new precision ultrasonic thickness gauge, the 'PM4 Gen3', which can identify differences of 0.001mm, on June 10, 2026. The 'PM4 Gen3' is a precision ultrasonic thickness gauge designed for high-precision measurement of thin plates and processed parts. With the same 200MHz ultra-high-speed sampling as the higher-end model PM5 Gen3, it achieves high reproducibility and stability, capable of identifying differences of 0.001mm. It supports measurements from 0.13mm to 28mm for steel, meeting the precise thickness measurement needs for thin plates, precision parts, and small-diameter piping. The PM4 Gen3 is a simple thickness gauge designed to enable easy high-precision measurements by omitting the A-scan function, detailed measurement parameters, and complex measurement modes found in the higher-end model PM5 Gen3. While the PM5 Gen3 is equipped with various functions and detailed parameter settings for professionals in non-destructive testing, the PM4 Gen3 minimizes parameter settings and emphasizes user-friendly operability.

NDT Advance Co., Ltd., which sells non-destructive testing equipment, will begin selling the Duplex Plate Type IQI 'DLP10' manufactured by KOWOTEST (Germany) on July 24, 2026. The 'DLP10' is a plate-type IQI used to determine image unsharpness and basic spatial resolution in radiographic imaging and radioscopy, based on ASTM E3388. Similar to the Duplex Wire Type IQI, it is used for evaluating unsharpness and basic spatial resolution, but it is compatible with high-energy radiation sources such as linear accelerators, betatrons, and gamma-ray sources.
