BYK-Gardner with new Ultrasound Site in the USA
BYK-Gardner USA has officially relocated its ultrasound operations from Pittsford to a newly renovated facility in the Town of Perinton. The new location offers more space and improved posibilities.
The site celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, June 3, attended by both local and international employees. The new 25,000-square-foot building represents a significant upgrade, offering an additional 16,000 square feet compared to the previous location on Monroe Avenue in Pittsford. This expansion provides a state-of-the-art environment with ample space for production, research and development, warehousing, and modern office areas. “BYK’s investment in this new facility underscores our commitment to creating an inspiring and enjoyable workplace,” said Gabi Kigle-Böckler, VP Marketing. “With this enhanced environment, we are well-equipped to develop innovative solutions to meet today’s and tomorrow’s global challenges.”
The Fairport site specializes in the development and manufacturing of high-precision, highperformance ultrasound testing solutions for quality assurance across a wide range of industrial applications. Its innovative high-frequency ultrasound „PELT“ systems set the standard in the automotive industry, offering multi-layer film thickness measurement on any substrate with exceptional precision. These systems are available in both handheld and robotic configurations.
In the semiconductor sector, BYK-Gardner’s low- to mid-frequency pulsers and receivers serveas versatile tools for general flaw and defect detection. For more advanced applications, high frequency pulsers and receivers – paired with state-of-the-art immersion transducers – are used in Scanning Acoustic Microscope (SAM) systems. These solutions deliver high-resolution ultrasonic imaging for detecting defects in wafers, microprocessor chips, bonded interfaces, and more.
