Submersible Ultrasonic Scanning Camera
An
ultrasonic camera is a device which focuses ultrasonic energy into
a detector containing a piezo film bonded to an array which converts
the ultrasonic energy into a visual image.
The 128x128 array covers approximately 1" square (6.5 cm square).
This exciting new technology permits imaging large areas in real-time
with high resolution. Scans traditionally done with ultrasonic single-point
scanning can now be accomplished in minutes rather than hours, without
compromising resolution.
Parts can be inspected and viewed as a video image, as opposed
to ultrasonic A-, B-, and C-scans, eliminating the need for ultrasonically
trained personnel. Matec's advanced imaging software can be integrated
into the system to produce automated defect detection and location.
Data can be stored in a video or digital format.
This
new technology has the ability to detect defects in orientations
otherwise unrecognizable with traditional ultrasound.
