Ultrasonic probe RUP1

for thickness measurement

The RUP1 ultrasonic probe increases the multi-sensor capability of the REVO® 5-axis measurement system for CMMs, offering ultrasonic thickness inspection. Unlike many other ultrasonic systems, RUP1 does not require the use of water tanks or coupling gel to enable a good transmission of the signal. Instead, it uses an innovative elastomer tip ball to provide excellent coupling between the probe and the material. As a result, the RUP1 eliminates the need for skilled operators to interpret oscilloscope screens and releases shop floor space occupied by the dedicated immersion tanks. The use of ultrasonics for single-sided measurement of part thickness also delivers clear advantages over traditional tactile probing techniques for parts where access to internal features is challenging. Thickness measurement accuracy: The RUP1 uses a 20 MHz transducer and provides a thickness measurement range of 1 mm to 20 mm with an accuracy of better than 10 microns using touch points. Maximising tip ball life: The tip ball is user-replaceable and is preserved by a protective cap that can be automatically removed and replaced to maximise tip life. Compatibility with the REVO system: The RUP1 is fully compatible with the MRS2 change rack using the RCP TC-3 rack change port and is interchangeable with all other probe options available for the REVO system. Multi-sensor integration: RUP1 is fully integrated into MODUS metrology software and UCCsuite software enabling its use as part of a multi-sensor system. Reduced costs: The RUP1 removes the need for skilled operators to interpret oscilloscope screens, and releases shop floor space as immersion tanks and deep bore CMMs are not required
