PBP OPTEL — ultrasonic engineering from physics to industrial deployment
PBP OPTEL Sp. z o.o. develops ultrasonic measurement and NDT technology for industry, research and OEM integration. We combine acoustic physics, custom transducers, high-speed electronics, firmware, DSP, application software, mechanics and industrial integration in one engineering workflow.
Four technological pillars
We adapt the measurement chain to the acoustic physics of the material and the application rather than forcing a complex problem into a generic catalogue solution.
Industrial NDT
Automated and manual ultrasonic inspection of welds, seamless tubes, pipes, thin-walled elements, composites and other critical components.
Process control
Inline measurement of wall thickness, eccentricity, ovality, sound speed and process-related material or fluid parameters.
Imaging & biometrics
Acoustic holography, 3D field mapping, reconstruction methods and ultrasonic biometric sensing.
Custom R&D & OEM
Contract engineering from feasibility studies and proof of concept to dedicated electronics, prototypes, OEM modules and factory integration.
A complete ultrasonic measurement chain developed in-house
OPTEL combines the building blocks required to turn an acoustic concept into a working industrial or laboratory system.
DSP & software
Signal processing, gates, A/B/C-Scan visualization, algorithms and automation software.
Integration
Industrial cabinets, PLC interfaces, production-line integration, commissioning and support.
Deep technical ownership and long lifecycle support
Multi-disciplinary team
Acoustics, electronics, firmware, DSP, application software and precision mechanics are developed as one system.
In-house prototyping
Electronics workshops, laboratory infrastructure and machining capabilities support rapid iteration from concept to test hardware.
Core IP and know-how
Decades of patents, publications and proprietary engineering experience support difficult ultrasonic measurement problems.
Lifecycle support
OPTEL maintains repair, calibration, upgrade and replacement capabilities for long-lived industrial systems.
Selected areas of implementation
Steel, tube & pipe
SAWL and SAWH weld inspection, seamless-pipe examination and dedicated tube inspection systems.
Automotive & mechanical
Electron-beam welded gears, thin-walled tubular parts, axle shafts, transmission shafts and other critical components.
Plastics & extrusion
Inline ultrasonic measurement and control for pipe extrusion, including wall-thickness and geometry monitoring.
Research, robotics & special systems
Aerial NDT, aerospace and composite inspection, nuclear-related scanning concepts, acoustic metrology and specialized laboratory systems.

F&E / R&D • applied acoustics • prototypes • industrial validation
From feasibility to lifecycle support
Feasibility study
Geometry, materials, acoustic propagation, attenuation, coupling and sensor concept.
Proof of concept
Bench measurements on representative samples to verify signal quality and measurement principle.
Working prototype
Dedicated electronics, transducers, mechanics, algorithms and control software integrated into a functional system.
Industrial integration
PLC interfaces, mechanical installation, line integration, commissioning and operator workflow.
Lifecycle support
Calibration, service, spare parts, firmware/software updates and long-term technical support.
