Overview of the product lines.

Equipments for material characterization:
Includes the Sonelastic equipment for non-destructive characterization of the dynamic elastic moduli and the modal damping (internal friction) of any rigid material, including composites, such as refractories, abrasives, concrete, glass and rocks.
Other applications: The Sonelastic is a modal frequency and damping analyzer with a wide range of applications, for example, musical instruments, aircraft parts, metal structures and auto parts quality control.

Equipments for quality control of medical and dental equipment:
This equipment was developed to enable a quantitative quality control of products used in large scale for health and dental care.

Piezo and ultrasonics:
ATCP sells piezoelectric ceramics (piezo ceramics / piezo crystals) for sensor and power applications. We also provide services for the identification of piezoelectric ceramics, characterization of transducers and courses and consulting services to facilitate the use of piezoelectric materials. ATCP also provides dedicated instrumentation for development, quality control and maintenance of transducers.

Infrastructure

ATCP is a well structured microenterprise, installed in a 320 m² building divided into 06 sectors: administration, sales, engineering, electronics, mechatronics and production.
ATCP is located in the city of Sao Carlos-SP (Brazil), known as the regional Capital of Technology for its aggregation of a significant number of high technology companies and two of the major Brazilian universities, the Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar) and the University of Sao Paulo (USP).

Technical-scientific entrepreneurship

The ATCP is managed by the Physicist and co-founder Henrique Alves. Henrique Alves is a Ph.D. in Engineering and Material Sciences in the area of Technological Development (UFSCar/2012), Bachelor in Physics (UFSCar/2002) and Electronics Technician (CETEV/1997). He has experience in Instrumentation, Physical Engineering with emphasis on piezoelectric devices and electronic circuits. He developed 4 softwares for instrumentation and is the inventor of 4 patents.
