Dedication to service, reliability, and performance results in numerous satisfied customers worldwide. Our Acoustic Emission systems are proven in field service as well as laboratory research.

• Doubles the number of channels at the same system size and weight
• Increased bandwidth and 40MHz sampling rate
• Digital filter technology: more flexibility for you (get new filters via internet)
• Fully compatible: ASIP-2 can be mixed with ASIPPs and be used in existing AMSY-5 master units.
  

Vallen AMSY-5: Again a step ahead!
The new high-speed Acoustic Emission system meeting most demanding requirements. The fourth generation of fully digital Acoustic Emission systems since 1986 providing:
Top AE-Speed, Top TR-Speed, Top PC-Flexibility, Top Windows 2000/XP Software, Up to 254 fully synchronized channels, easy combination of independent systems into one large AE system. Follow the link below to read more.

Unsolicited comments from a client located in the USA:

"As for the system, I have to tell you that my experience with Vallen versus [XXX] has been a study in contrasts. The difference is far deeper than just the quality, 'fit and finish', of the equipment and software but can be appreciated at the level of customer support from the factory down through its dealer network. It seems odd that an organization that is based in Germany can be more responsive, not to mention more accurate/honest, than the larger US based competitor but that has been my experience."

Another customer wrote:

"I'm a long time [XXX] customer who recently switched to Vallen VisualAE. My major reasons for making the switch to VisualAE were

advanced capabilities,
ease of use , and
great customer support.

Advanced capability becomes clear when you use VisualAE for the first time. VisualAE contains 6 different types of data processors, which can be employed in unlimited ways to get exactly the results you need. The location routines permit you to calculate uncertainty, so you can have confidence in the results when you go looking for a source on the structure. The graphs feature unlimited color coding and symbols, so you can quickly and easily determine with a glance such things as channel, energy level, cluster intensity, etc. - whatever you like and wish to set up. As a bonus, the graphs are also gorgeous - when the owner of the structure sees them you usually get not only a happy "wow", you also gain additional respect as being a true AE professional.

Ease of use is another area in which VisualAE excels. Graph setup, data processing and data identification are all performed in a clear, logical and intuitive manner that [XXX] doesn't offer. This is most apparent when you are an infrequent or new user, since familiarity naturally helps you gain proficiency. Still, the logical design of VisualAE never fades - it's always there making things easy for you. A side by side comparison of VisualAE with the [XXX] offering makes you a believer in a hurry!

Finally, there is the issue of support. [XXX] almost seems indifferent that you are their customer and have problems - but this is definitely not the case with Vallen. You get attention when you call or write, and they go out of their way to help keep you satisfied by providing almost immediate answers. They even provide quick and free changes to their software in the rare event that you find problems! For example, my feedback about an inaccuracy in the conversion of [XXX] data to VALLEN format was solved by an update of the data converter - within hours. In short, Vallen cares, [XXX] doesn't - what else can you say?

In summary, I would enthusiastically recommend that any [XXX] customer buy Vallen VisualAE - it's powerful, it's intuitive and it's well supported."

International collaboration on wavelet analysis!
Together with Aoyama Gakuin University (AGU), Tokyo, Japan and University of Denver, Co., USA a project for using wavelets in Acoustic Emission has been launched.

Download wavelet analysis software for free!
We at Vallen view wavelet analysis as having future potential. We wish to share the future development with as many professionals in AE as possible. We launched this free-of-charge wavelet analysis project for Acoustic Emission to enable any lab in the world to perform research on this issue.

Quick return on Acoustic Emission investment - 
increased customer satisfaction - 
increased business!
Our client said his 36 channel Vallen AE system has paid off after 8 months! Then he bought a second one (also 36 channels) to satisfy his customer’s demands...
