Diagnosis of the straightening annealing line
Finding signs of bearing and reducer malfunctions during the operation of the production line.
- Bearings for alkaline-based machines
- Reducer of helical devices
Press Monitoring
A fixed acoustic monitoring system detects leaks
in press valves before equipment damage occurs.
- Press valve sealing integrity
- Pressing and reloading cycles
- Downtime duration
Vacuum Leak Detection
A portable ultrasonic camera helps locate air ingress in vacuum systems following equipment startup and repairs.
- Vacuum pipeline integrity
- Connections and air ingress points
- System condition after repairs
Substation Monitoring
The camera detects and locates partial discharges in high-voltage equipment. “Discharge” mode helps assess their type and severity.
- High-voltage insulators
- Cable joints and connections
- Switchgear cubicles
Air Separation Unit Leak Detection
A portable ultrasonic camera locates air leaks in air separation unit systems following repairs and equipment startup.
- Integrity of pressurized systems
- Pipelines and connections
- Leak locations after startup
Diagnosis of the straightening annealing line
The task
Detecting signs of bearing malfunctions and gear reducers on the production line, so that plan maintenance in a timely manner and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
The decision
Acoustic surveys during regular inspections. The specialist locates the sources of suspicious sounds, records them, and compares the results to assess changes in the operation of the equipment.
Practical effect
Early detection of signs of malfunctions helps to plan inspection and repair in advance, reduce the risk of unplanned downtime, and maintain stable equipment operation.
Checking the condition of the valves in the pressing department
The task
Organize contactless detection of developing defects in the hydraulic units of the press, which could lead to valve failure and unplanned line shutdown.
The decision
A continuous monitoring system based on NACEx-SA acoustic cameras and Aura AcoMS software has been installed. The control includes return cylinders, distributors, plungers, container distributor, and the matrix delivery mechanism.
Practical effect
Data on the status of the units helps plan inspections and maintenance. Additionally, the system allows for monitoring the duration of pressing, reloading, and technological downtime.
Finding vacuum leaks on a carousel vacuum filter
The task
Find air leaks in a fertilizer production plant's vacuum filter system without shutting down the plant.
The decision
The operating filter was examined with a NAC-PU camera. The acoustic map was used to localize the sources, and the recordings and notes were saved for the Aura SVS report.
Practical effect
Air leaks were detected on the corrugated hose and pressure plate. These findings help identify areas for inspection and repair, and a repeat inspection will ensure the leaks are eliminated.
Inspection of traction substation
The task
To detect signs of defects in the electrical system of a traction substation in advance without shutting down the equipment.
The decision
The substation was surveyed using a NAC-PU camera along the route of its main components. Acoustic signature recordings were analyzed and processed using Aura SVS.
Practical effect
Suspicious sections can be referred to specialists for inspection and maintenance planning before equipment failure and disruption of train traffic.
Inspection of the air separation unit of the oxygen station
The task
Locate leaks in the oxygen plant's air separation unit and identify areas for inspection and maintenance.
The decision
The installation was surveyed with a NACEx-PU camera. The sources were localized using an acoustic map, and the recordings were saved for analysis and report preparation in Aura SVS.
Practical effect
Leak sources in the area of connections and shutoff valves are identified. These materials help plan inspections and repairs, and then monitor leak elimination.
Portable ultrasonic camera
NAC-PU / NACEx-PU · «Leakage» mode
During an inspection, the technician locates the leak, saves the inspection results, and generates a report to support further inspection and repair.
Portable ultrasonic camera
NAC-PU / NACEx-PU · «Discharge» mode
The camera helps detect and locate partial discharges in high-voltage equipment. «Discharge» mode allows users to assess their type and severity, save inspection results, and generate a report.
Portable acoustic camera
NAC-PA / NACEx-PA · «Mechanics» mode
The system detects signs of mechanical faults and pinpoints their location. Diagnostic indicators and color coding help identify signs of wear, lubrication issues, and component damage without shutting down the equipment.
Stationary camera and Aura AcoMS
NACEx-SA · Continuous monitoring
The system continuously monitors equipment at multiple points, detects signs of mechanical faults, and tracks their progression. It informs personnel about equipment condition, while the version equipped with a thermal imaging module also monitors temperature.

We care about what is dear to you
Nuton Acoustics products integrate seamlessly into modern IT infrastructure and fully comply with the requirements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0).
This means your systems won’t just work — they will work smarter.
Benefits of Acoustic Diagnostics
Detect leaks and signs of developing faults while equipment is operating, so you can take timely action and plan maintenance effectively.
No production shutdowns
Inspect equipment during normal operation, when characteristic fault sounds are most likely to occur.
Non-contact inspection
Locate sound sources without installing contact sensors on every component being checked.
Change tracking
Comparing inspection results and using continuous monitoring helps track how faults develop over time.
Economic Benefits for Your Business
Reduced resource losses
Eliminating detected leaks helps reduce gas and compressed air consumption, along with associated energy costs.
Fewer unplanned shutdowns
Early detection of fault indicators helps schedule inspections and repairs before a serious failure occurs.
Condition-Based Maintenance
Diagnostic data helps prioritize repairs and allocate personnel, spare parts, and budgets more effectively.
Results of application in numbers
Fewer emergency repairs
Fewer unplanned shutdowns
