Sonatest Ltd has launched its new Wheelprobe ™ series of probes, leading the way in ultrasonic transducer innovation. Developed in conjunction with leaders in aerospace technology, with a focus on the increased use of composite materials, the probes enable rapid and intuitive scanning in the testing environment, producing quantitative data on material integrity. The probes feature a wide, conformable rubber tyre which is acoustically matched to water, allowing near dry contact, and so produce high quality results without the need for couplant or large quantities of water. The Wheelprobe range includes three models: a single element model, and 50mm and 100mm array versions. Developed to be used in conjunction with the Sonatest Rapidscan series, they are compatible with alternative NDT industry standard equipment. Rolling in innovation

curved parts, covering such areas quickly and efficiently. A central spring-loaded roller ensures consistent contact across the wheel, even when scanning narrow parts. The Wheelprobe is able to provide high quality, high resolution data due to the incorporated 64 element phased array with 0.8mm resolution and a high resolution positioning encoder. The 100mm tyre has been constructed for very large area coverage and due to its size is best suited to flat horizontal components, but is also adaptable to curved parts. Industry sectors where the Wheelprobe may be used include aerospace, automotive, marine and composite manufacturing.
