Off-line ultrasonic measurement

LaserLinc, Inc – USA Email: info@laserlinc.com Website: www.laserlinc.com

LASERLINC, a designer and manufacturer of non-contact, laser and ultrasonic measurement systems, has added ultrasonics to its BenchLinc™ benchtop inspection systems. The fixture is based on LaserLinc’s UltraGauge+ ultrasonic wall measurement system. Manufacturers can use the system to inspect cut-to-length metal tubing. The operator is able to position the tube manually at any location and at any angle. For operator ease-of-use, measurements can be triggered based on a push-button or a foot pedal. To increase inspection speed and improve R&R, options for automatic feed, automatic sort, and automatic pick and place are available. The fixture also incorporates a laser micrometer for OD measurement. The UltraGauge+ system consists of a digital signal processor (DSP) and a transducer fixture. The DSP connects via Ethernet to a PC running Total Vu software, LaserLinc’s proprietary measurement/data processing package. Current measurement capabilities range from OD 1.3 to 19mm (0.05" to 0.75") and wall

thickness of 0.3 to 6.35mm (0.011" to 0.5"), using transducer ranging from 10 to 30MHz and depending on the material involved.

BenchLinc ultrasonic system: UltraGauge+ digital signal processor, ultrasonic sensor array in acrylic housing, and Triton312 three-axis laser micrometer
