High-performance NDT ultrasonic scanning system

The requirement for defect-free high-precision components and fabrications continues to grow as manufacturers pursue higher degrees of component integrity and reliability in diverse industries. NDT equipment is becoming more and more sophisticated and exacting in order to meet new demands as the team at Precision Acoustics are able to demonstrate with this new generation high-performance NDT scanning system.

Headline features:

• Minimum scan increment 0.01mm
• Maximum pulse acquisition rate 5000 per second
• Maximum scan speed: 800mm per second (Scan speed dictated by scan resolution)
• Example Scan time: 10 minutes for 800mm × 400mm at 0.25mm increment
• Fully featured software interface written in National Instruments LabVIEW
• Real-time results display
• Pulse generation synchronised with probe motion
• Automated high-resolution rescanning of defects
• Software capability to automatically or manually measure defect sizes
• Generation of PDF reports from acquired scans

Drive system options:

• Drive technology options - stepper, servo and linear servo
• Manual and Motorised Probe Pan-Tilt unit
• Customised PVdF ultrasonic transducers to match material and defect types to be scanned
