LaserLinc has added ultrasonics to it popular 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. Total Vu is LaserLinc's proprietary measurement/data processing package.
Current measurement capabilities range from OD of 1.3mm/.05" to 19mm/.75" and wall thickness of .3mm/.011" to 6.35mm/.5", using transducer ranging from 10MHz to 30MHz and depending on the material involved.
