In the age of Industry 4.0 the optimizing processes, increasing operational safety, and
improving energy efficiency are becoming more and more significant. Meet the challenges of
Maintenance 4.0 with the new SONAPHONE from SONOTEC. The digital ultrasonic testing
device combines innovative sensors and software for preventive maintenance that can be
operated intuitively and paves the way for new processes for new applications.

APPLICATIONS

With the new SONAPHONE you can

detect and classify leaks in compressed air, gas and vacuum systems and reduce your
energy costs,
monitor the condition of your machines and determine the optimal maintenance time,
identify leaks in windows, doors, vehicles, components and containers and ensure
compliance with specified quality requirements,
find electrical partial discharges and insulation damage and increase your operational
safety,
assess the function of steam traps and prevent energy and steam loss and damage to
the steam system
BROADBAND ULTRASONIC ANALYSIS

Frequency range from 20 to 100 kHz

SOFTWARE THAT IS INTUITIVE TO OPERATE

The apps accompany you through the entire testing process, from planning, testing and
documentation to analysis
SONAPHONE can be operated intuitively like a tablet via 5-inch display with multi-
touchscreen
Reduce Paper records, which are error-prone and above all time-consuming
BUNDLING RELEVANT INFORMATION

The apps bundle all information relevant to maintenance so you always have an overview
of the condition of your machines and systems.
Record spectrograms, time signals, sound files and levels
Add photos, text comments and voice memos
TEST REPORTS WITH A FEW CLICKS
