Sonatest Ltd has launched its new
Wheelprobe™ series of probes, leading
the way in ultrasonic transducer
innovation. Developed in conjunction
with leaders in aerospace technology,
with a focus on the increased use of
composite materials, the probes enable
rapid and intuitive scanning in the testing
environment, producing quantitative
data on material integrity.
The probes feature a wide, conformable
rubber tyre which is acoustically
matched to water, allowing near dry
contact, and so produce high quality
results without the need for couplant or
large quantities of water.
The Wheelprobe range includes three
models: a single element model, and
50mm and 100mm array versions.
Developed to be used in conjunction
with the Sonatest Rapidscan series,
they are compatible with alternative
NDT industry standard equipment.
The 50mm array Wheelprobe is suited
to hand scanning of large, flat or slightly
curved parts, covering such areas
quickly and efficiently. A central
spring-loaded roller ensures
consistent contact across the
wheel, even when scanning
narrow parts.
The Wheelprobe is able to provide
high quality, high resolution
data due to the incorporated 64
element phased array with 0.8mm
resolution and a high resolution
positioning encoder.
The 100mm tyre has been
constructed for very large
area coverage and due to its
size is best suited to flat horizontal
components, but is also adaptable to
curved parts.
Industry sectors where the Wheelprobe
may be used include aerospace,
automotive, marine and composite
manufacturing.
Adaptable for use by individual operators
or as part of a scanning system, the
Wheelprobe is suited to advanced
material testing, simplifying testing
procedures and preparation where
there are common requirements for the
ultrasonic inspection of composites for
porosity sizing, delaminations, foreign
body contamination and fibre wrinkling.
