Ultrasound data acquisition system A1580 Sonic

soundfor ultrasonic NDTlaboratory

Overview
Universal OEM ultrasonic pulser-receiver front-end and broadband data acquisition unit for laboratory and industrial NDT and testing applications. Suitable for driving Dry-Point-Contact (DPC) and conventional piezoelectric transducers across a wide frequency range. Includes wireless data transfer capability and a documented SDK for integration and custom application development.

Applications

• Pulse velocity testing and sound speed measurements
• Pulse-echo data acquisition for flaw detection
• Position-synchronized data acquisition with inspection manipulators
• Time-synchronized acquisition with material test machines (tensile, compression)
