ultrasoniccompactdigital

Overview

• Cost-effective air-coupled ultrasonic testing solution for non-destructive inspection
• Designed for lightweight and difficult-to-couple components where contact methods are not applicable
• Enables non-contact testing without coupling fluids
• System frequency range up to 10 MHz (SONO-PR 10)

Ultrasonic probes for non-contact testing

• Compatible with SONOSCAN CFC / CF air-coupled probes

Advantages

• Cost-effective entry into air-coupled ultrasound testing
• Wide range of material and inspection applications
• Flexible configuration for different test scenarios
• Simple, non-automated system for manual or semi-manual inspections
• Broad air-coupled ultrasound bandwidth
• Operation possible without a connected PC via integrated touch panel

Applications

• Non-contact ultrasonic inspection for defect detection and material characterization
• Suitable for foams, metals, plastics and ceramic materials
• Building material testing: bricks, composite panels, concrete and wood
• Inspection of honeycomb and sandwich structures with varying core and cover layers

Components / Key features

• Air-coupled probes — SONOTEC piezo-composite technology with element focusing for maximum resolution and sensitivity
• Up to 4 channels — independent transmitter and receiver channels with configurable square-wave burst pulser and low-noise preamplifiers
• Interfaces — digital interface options to extend functionality
• No PC required — device operation via integrated touch panel
