ECO – Paolo Casareale

ECO – What industry professionals say: Paolo Casareale

August 22, 2023

At ECNDT 2023, the European Conference on Non-Destructive Testing, we had the chance to talk to our fellow industry professionals about the portable X-ray market and our newly released low-weight system, the ECO. Keep reading to find out the insights Paolo had to share.

Paolo Casareale,
General Director at ADG S.r.l.

Paolo Casareale is the owner of ADG S.r.l. in Como, Italy. He founded his own company in 2005, providing portable and stationary NDT solutions to a range of customers in Italy.

How long have you been working with Comet products?

Since 2015, so eight years already, I clearly remember the year because that's when the EVO series was new to the market. Since then, our collaboration with Comet X-ray has become ever close, and we genuinely value Comet X-ray as a partner.

What were your thoughts when you first heard of the new low-weight ECO?

I was thrilled to hear that something new was being developed - a portable X-ray system similar to the EVO series but with the same power and features but less weight. It is an excellent addition to our portfolio and any inspection company toolbox.

What are your hopes for Comet X-ray and the portable X-ray market?

With the release of the ECO, Comet X-ray has shown that they listen to our customer's needs, so I hope they will keep innovating and investing in new technologies. Next on my wish list is a lighter EVO 300D/1200 system, which would make a massive difference for NDT inspectors.

Focus topic. A conversation with Jan Bressendorff and Allen Gress about pipeline weld inspection

October 8, 2026

On a pipeline job, the X-ray system is chosen for the weld, not from a catalog. Pipe size and access determine how the crew can inspect it. The procedure sets what the image must show. Heat, weight and exposure time shape the working day. A poor choice can cost hours. A good one helps the crew get an image the inspector can assess without needless delay.

Focus topic. The HP/15 builds on two decades of proven HP/11 performance for digital detectors, in-line inspection and CT.

September 21, 2026

For two decades, the HP/11 has been the reference minifocus X-ray tube for high-resolution and high throughput radiography. The HP/15 keeps everything that made it trusted, and reengineers the rest for digital detectors, in-line inspection and computed tomography.

From the field. Cooler leakage with Pierre-Emmanuel Rigot at X-RIS

September 10, 2026

This is not primarily a story about a cooler leak - it is a story about what happens when insight arrives too late. About the cost of operating without remote access. About the difference between reacting to failures and preventing them. And about how weak signals only become meaningful over time when data is allowed to flow. At its core, this case shows why BLOX alone is not enough.
