SME Profile
Socomate International is a leading ultrasonic system integrator and instrument supplier of quality control inspection and production test equipment. Socomate has been providing ultrasonic instrumentation to research, academic and industrial users since 1977. The company's strength lies in its capacity to develop innovative solutions, expandable in design. The company has a wealth of experience and technical expertise covering NDT, electronics electrical and mechanical manufacturing and software engineering, supported by modern well equipped laboratories. Today, many older ultrasonic systems are no longer supported by the manufacturer or are using outdated electronics, and any new systems will be considered as aged within a shorter and shorter period of working time, facing the huge appetite of end-users for digital and computer controlled systems. An alternative to replacing the entire system is to upgrade or enhance the heart of the system: the Ultrasonic instrument. For this reason Socomate's strategy since 1996 is essentially focused on designing and developing Standard 'Universal" Ultrasonic instruments for a worldwide network of integrators and systems.
