In January 2026, OKOndt GROUP delivered a five-day, instructor-led training session for NDT personnel at the National Railway Training Center (CENACAF) in Buenos Aires. The session combined theoretical instruction with on-track practice. The program focused on rail inspection procedures, system calibration, and software operation to ensure the effective use of the ETS2-73 rail flaw detector under real railway conditions.
OKOndt GROUP showcased its latest NDT solutions for rail testing at Railway Interchange 2025 in Indianapolis, from the High-Speed OKOSCAN 73HS System to the ETS2-73 Eddy Current Rail Flaw Detector.
Once again, OKOndt GROUP specialists took part in the RI 2023 exhibition, this time in Indianapolis. This year, our distributors, specialists from NDT Supply.com from Kansas City, worked with us at the stand. We demonstrated the latest version of the UDS2-77 AREMA SWP rail defect detector and held a number of interesting meetings with both old acquaintances and new potential partners.
In the early summer of 2020, a customer from Turkey purchased from OKOndt GROUP ultrasonic equipment for rails testing — a hand-pushed trolley UDS2-73. In August, our experts keeping all the safety measures came to the customer to provide training, demonstrating all the extensive functionality of the flaw detector. During practice, the UDS2-73 detected flaws not only on the running surface, but also in the welded joints. OKOndt's specialists carried out several practical sessions, one of which took place at night, so that the customer's technical staff can learn to use the ultrasonic flaw detector in an effective manner at any period of the day.
The sea city of Odessa, in still warm and lovely September, hosted the international conference entitled Nondestructive Testing and Monitoring of Technical Condition — 2020, the General sponsor of which was UkrSRINDT that makes part of OKOndt Group. The organizers took a very responsible approach to planning the event, providing its participants with the necessary safety measures. This allowed to hold the Forum at a high level, in accordance with the planned program, as well as arrange the Exhibition of NDT equipment at which, among others, multipurpose flaw detectors Sonocon B and BL, Eddycon C and CL, automated aircraft wheels testing System SmartScan, rail testing trolleys UDS2-77 and UDS2-73 were represented.
When supplying NDT equipment to the foreign customers, OKOndt GROUP also provides a training services at the customer's territory so that local specialists understand all the peculiarities and can use all the functionality of the device. In November 2019, OKOndt's experts arranged such a trip to Italy — to show the technical personnel of the customer's company how effective ultrasonic single rail flaw detector UDS2-77 can detect rail flaws. A «Tandem» sounding scheme implemented in this trolley allows also to detect flaws in the side faces of the rail head thus making the testing much more effective.
