Who We Are

Vibrant was formed for the sole purpose of commercializing Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) for the aerospace and power generation industries. PCRT is a revolutionary non-destructive testing technology that can determine if a component is structurally sound and fit for service.

PCRT is shaking up the aerospace NDT world

History- Various forms of resonance based testing have been in use for over 100 years, dating back to the practice of striking metal components with hammers to check for "ringing" of the component that indicated a lack of resonance deadening cracks.

The current state of the art resonance based testing began to take shape in the late 1980's when scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory began to combine advanced computing power with precision frequency generation technologies to carry out analysis on the effects of manufacturing variations on the resonance signatures of metallic components. This raw but promising technology was licensed by the Quatro Corporation in the early 1990's, and was spun out as a company called Quasar International (www.quasarintl.com) in 1993. Quasar focused the technology development on the automotive market, spending 10 years and nearly $10M dollars in the development of a high speed automated NDE system called Process Compensated Resonance Testing (PCRT) for tier 1 suppliers to the big three auto makers. Today, more than 100 PCRT systems have been installed world wide, where they test more than 150,000,000 parts per year.

In 2003 Mechtronic Solutions, Inc. (MSI, www.m-s-i.com) began working with PCRT to tailor the technology for the needs of the aerospace and power generation industries. In 2005 MSI licensed the technology and formed the Vibrant division to pursue the new markets. Working closely with the scientists and engineers of Quasar, Vibrant has developed PCRT applications focused on the lower manufacturing volumes found in the aerospace industry. These applications bring the power of PCRT to bear on new production quality control and leverage the unique life management capabilities of the technology. Vibrant is now an independent Corporation carrying out pilot projects with several major aerospace manufacturers and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) firms.
