PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introducing the DS-200s Series
The DS-200s Series of ultrasonic squirter systems complements the DS-200 Series of immersion scanners with the high-end capacity required for non-immersion inspection of large-scale parts manufactured from composite materials.
Scanning robot
Rugged gantry-mounted bridge with dual search tubes provide high-speed inspection within tight tolerance limits for accuracy, repeatability and resolution.
Inspection technique
Water squirter inspection in operator-selected pulse-echo (P-E) or thru-transmission (T-T) modes. Optional simultaneous P-E and T-T scanning.
Manipulators
RESOLVE Series high-resolution gimbal-swivel (U,V-axis) manipulators for water squirters, including sealed, direct-drive DC servo motors with low-backlash drive train.
Squirters
Selection of water squirters for applications with a water path of up to four inches.
Multi-squirter inspection
Two to four squirter pairs for composite C-scanning of panels held vertically increase the inspection rate by up to a factor of four on suitable parts.
Transducers
1-25MHz immersion-type probes with standard UHF connector.
Ultrasonic hardware
One to eight-channel upi-50 rack-mount ultrasonic instrument with RPP2 square wave pulser preamplifiers. Optional LAM4 logarithmic amplifiers with 85dB of usable dynamic range.
Main operator control console
Desk-top mounted 17" monitor, keyboard and mouse pointing device.
MAC motion control
MAC Windows NT-based servo motion control for all axes, with encoder feedback, rf noise suppression circuitry and ScanMaster motion control software. Hardware housed in environment-protected cabinet.
ScanMaster control panel
Complete system control from the ScanMaster screen-based 'virtual' control panel.
Part Tracking
ScanMaster Teach-in Programmer for set-up and execution of multi-segment scans. All ultrasonic and scan parameters can be individually set for each scan segment.
Data acquisition interface
ScanMaster B and C-scan Imaging Software, with up to 132K peak amplitude and TOF measurements/sec and 'SMART' threshold-based A-scan signal capture to 10Mbytes/sec.
Data analysis and processing
ScanMaster C-scan Data Processing and Analysis Tool Kit. Includes a library of tools for image processing, image projection and measurement of flaw size, depth and signal strength. Optional ScanMaster utilities for advanced flaw evaluation including Search & Identify flaw classifiers and Statistics for statistical image evaluation.
Inspection documentation
Standard documentation tools include: • Color ink jet printer • Operator annotations on screen • Storage and screen dump of any A-scan display in Set-up mode • Generation, storage and printout of .pcx image file of any screen display.
Remote operator station
Optional mobile station including large TFT display and control mouse provides full system control from any location in the inspection area. Optional remote pendant for independent control of system motion axes.
System access control
Five levels of programmable authorized access.
Scanning accessories
Head-and-tail stock for inspection of thin-walled metallic and composite tubes.
Remote data processing
Optional remote data processing and analysis station connected by LAN to the control console. Network link to a factory host for data processing and archiving.
Safety Standards and Approvals
The DS-200s systems are fully compliant with the most stringent safety standards. The DS-200s systems are CE certified for safety and electro-magnetic compliance.
