ScanMaster

What ScanMaster does

ScanMaster Systems IRT Ltd is an Israel-based, privately held designer and manufacturer of automated ultrasonic inspection (AUT) systems founded in 1986 (originally as Inspection Research & Technologies). The company builds integrated non-destructive testing (NDT) platforms that combine proprietary multi-channel ultrasonic instrumentation (USC-100), precision servo motion control, mechanical scanners (LS-50, LS-200, LS-500, DS-200i series immersion systems; squirter-based composite scanners; bearing and plate systems), and application-specific software packages (CSI C-Scan Inspector, TrackMaster for rail, SpotWeld.NET for automotive). These systems are deployed in production and MRO environments at aerospace OEMs and MRO centers (jet engine components, turbine discs, aero-structures, composites, bearings, plates, bars, billets), automotive body shops (spot weld inspection for UT/Mate, UT/Pro V2, UT/x phased-array tools), railway operators (HR-UT, HRX-UT, UR-UT systems for high-speed rail, metro, and tram), pipe and tube manufacturers (AS-200 series for HSAW, LSAW, ERW, and special pipes), and power generation/bearing customers.

ScanMaster is approved by every major aerospace prime — GE Aviation, Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Airbus, Boeing, Safran/Snecma, and MTU — and is ISO 9001 certified. Revenue is generated primarily through configured hardware sales of complete inspection systems, supplemented by software licenses and updates, installation/commissioning/training services (including remote support and annual calibration), and system upgrades/customization. Systems are sold via direct enterprise field sales (led by VP Sales Micha Kemelman) and a global network of 25+ certified regional sales representatives covering Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; each system is custom-quoted based on configuration, with leasing available through partner VFG. In February 2026, ScanMaster acquired Germany's VOGT Ultrasonics GmbH (rebranded VSM Technologies), adding robotic spot-weld and AI-driven inspection capability, DACH-region presence, and automotive depth. The company also doubled its manufacturing floor space in early 2026 and operates regional headquarters in Rosh HaAyin (Israel) and Greenville, SC (USA).
