UltraScan 5 is an ultrasonic inspection and analysis system. The system includes:

An inspection scanner

A portable computer with pulser/receiver and a high-speed converter cards

The system includes four applications: TOFD (time of flight diffraction) imaging, thickness mapping, X-axis flaw mapping, and Y-axis flaw mapping. The user interface includes A-scan, B-scan, C-scan, signal scope, real time miniscope,

3-D display, and a control panel. Under the data analysis mode, the user can recreate the C-scan display by altering gate settings. Each A-scan retains its own unique gate settings. The user can generate a 3-D display of a Cscan instantaneously.

The system also generates a report with the following contents:

A cover page including the project title and the report generation date

A table of contents listing file descriptions and page numbers for each file

Project information including project name, directory, start time, end time, project descriptions, and inspection log

The B-scan and C-scan maps with user-defined scales

TOFD images

The software is designed to simplify operating procedures; for example, the system automatically detects the attached scanner and sets up the appropriate parameters. UltraScan 5 supports any language supported by Windows; the program windows, message boxes, and hard-copy reports can be displayed in any language.

HS212 and HS226 are X-Y coordinate scanners which are used to inspect flat surfaces and pipes. The minimum diameter of pipe can be as small as 2 inches, 0.5 inches with add-on wheels. Their magnetic wheels are ideal for quick setups on steel materials. Our optional scanner tracks can be used to inspect non-magnetic materials, using four suction cups to attach the scanner to the material to be inspected. MTSCAN series scanners are designed for X-Y scanning as well as TOFD scanning using interchangeable scan heads. HS100 is a single axis scanner, but it can also be used to generate C-scan maps.

Other accessories include a coupling kit and custom cable lengths. The coupling kit consists of a water compressor, tubing, a Y connector, and a flow control valve. The 100-foot and 200-foot cables are built with differential line drivers and receivers which ensure encoder signal strength.
