Automatic Phased Array Ultrasonic Machine
Salient Features
Phased Array Technology
Phased Array testing is a specialized type of ultrasonic testing that uses sophisticated multi-element array transducers and powerful instrumentation software to steer ultrasonic beams through the test piece and map returning echoes.
Quick Scan LT PA
The electronic configuration of the solution for Phased Array inspection is based on the Quick Scan LT FA (1513355 or 32255) unit.
Phased Array Ultrasound Concept – Round
No rotating movement. only electronic scanning is done.
Depth focalization for bar volume inspection {LW} Electronic steering for bar surface inspection {SW}
Longitudinal Wave
Shear Wave
Advanced Floating Head Mechanism
Floating head system is immersed in the UT tank and bar passes through centering devices, which guide the floating head and maintain constant position of probes with respect to bar surface.
Phased Array probes are mounted in cassettes with pre-defined mechanical overlap between each of them depending on the diameter of the bar for 360°coverage on round products.
