Automotive & Transportation
Safety-critical components in the automotive and transportation sector — rail axles, wheel sets, brake
components, suspension forgings, and structural castings — require inspection systems that are both technically
rigorous and production-compatible. Inspection must be integrated into the manufacturing flow as a quality
control step, not bolted on as a separate laboratory operation. Throughput, repeatability, and pass/fail
traceability are equally non-negotiable requirements.
Altair Systems engineers automated NDT inspection systems for the automotive and transportation sector with a
precise understanding of the production environment, the quality management systems these industries operate
under, and the component populations that must be inspected reliably at volume.
What We Inspect: Rail axles and wheel sets; suspension and steering forgings; engine and drivetrain castings;
structural weld assemblies; brake components; automotive safety-critical stampings; railway infrastructure
components.
Applicable Standards: EN 15313 and EN 13260 (rail axles); EN 12080 (rail bearings); UIC specifications;
IATF 16949-referenced inspection; ISO 9712; OEM-specific inspection standards.
