LASERLINC, a designer and manufacturer
of non-contact, laser and ultrasonic
measurement systems, has added
ultrasonics to its BenchLinc™ benchtop
inspection systems.
The fixture is based on LaserLinc’s
UltraGauge+ ultrasonic wall measurement
system. Manufacturers can use the system
to inspect cut-to-length metal tubing. The
operator is able to position the tube manually
at any location and at any angle. For operator
ease-of-use, measurements can be triggered
based on a push-button or a foot pedal.
To increase inspection speed and
improve R&R, options for automatic feed,
automatic sort, and automatic pick and place
are available. The fixture also incorporates
a laser micrometer for OD measurement.
The UltraGauge+ system consists of
a digital signal processor (DSP) and a
transducer fixture. The DSP connects via
Ethernet to a PC running Total Vu software,
LaserLinc’s proprietary measurement/data
processing package.
Current measurement capabilities range
from OD 1.3 to 19mm (0.05" to 0.75") and wall
thickness of 0.3 to 6.35mm (0.011" to 0.5"),
using transducer ranging from 10 to 30MHz
and depending on the material involved.
