3D Scanning System

Description and Feature
Specification

The UMS3 fully automated scanning system has been specifically designed to automate the repetitive tasks associated with the acquisition, display, storage and computation of data associated with the measurement and mapping of acoustic fields.A dedicated version “UMS Industrial” is available for the non destructive test industry. All systems customised for end-user application.

Typical Applications of UMS3

◇ Beam profiling.

◇ Location of focal area.

◇ Pressure mapping.

◇ Measurement of acoustic parameters to satisfy the latest regulatory requirements needed for IEC62127-1, IEC61157, NEMA UD2 or FDA 510(k) submissions.

Typical Applications of UMS Industrial

◇ Defect detection with A , B and C scan displays

◇ Thickness gauging

Motorised axes	Standard systems have 3 motorised axes but we have made systems with 7 motorised axes. The axes are fitted with linear encoders to ensure repeatable positioning. Limit switches are fitted to all axes.
Scan step size / Resolution	Linear encoders give positional accuracy and linear repeatability +/- 0.006mm over length of travel and system resolution 0.001mm Working speed 20mm per second and fitted with user adjustable limit switch and emergency stop control.
System geometry	UMS can be configured either “horizontally” or as a “shoot down” system for open back transducer testing.
Frequency range / Maximum tank size	Frequency range: this will depend on the physical size of the test tank and acoustic lining. Please contact us for accurate information on tank size requirements for your working frequency. Standard tanks are 1m x 0.5m x 0.5m which are suitable for measurements in the range 0.5MHz – 60MHzWe have supplied tanks up to 2m x 1.5m x 1.5m which are suitable for measurements above 50kHz. Depending on the physical size of the water tank it can be bench mounted or positioned at a reasonable working height.

The supplied software integrates the stepper motor driven positioning system, oscilloscope and PC. It can be customised for individual clients but as supplied it allows the user to conduct linear and planar scans, store the digitised waveform and computates all the relevant acoustic parameters. Report generation and scripting enables output reports to be generated for any application.

Programming language	All software is written in LabView 8. We supply an executable version and the source code to enable the end user to make further developments.
Automates planar scanning routines	The software integrates the positioning system, oscilloscope and PC for automated data capture and storage.
Data processing	The included post processing software enables the calculation of standard acoustic reporting parameters from the acquired data.
Customised software	We can customise the software for customer specific applications and equipment. The Software integrates with Lecroy Oscilloscopes (6000 Series) but we can change the software to suit other oscilloscopes when required., oscilloscope and PC for automated data capture and storage.

Optional Extras

◇ Water Treatment System. Perspex test tank to suit the frequency range of the ultrasound test tank system. For very large systems we will supply a GRP tank.

◇ PA Membrane or Needle Hydrophones

◇ Hydrophone mount for hydrophones from other manufacturers.

◇ Alternative transducer mounts.

◇ Function generators etc.
