Improve
transducer performance through unprecedented pulse tuning
Precisely match
pulse and transducer characteristics utilizing pulse width steps
of 0.20 ns and full pulse voltage control. The output of most transducers
can be easily doubled through this level of pulse tuning.
Deliver
the power to drive any transducer
A full 350 microjoules
of energy is available to the transducer since no damping circuitry
is required for pulse tuning. Improved output energy reduces the
amount of gain needed to detect small flaws, permits the use of
new probe technologies and offers extended testing capabilities.
Obtain
low-noise and wide-bandwidth performance at the same time
Use one instrument
for all of your ultrasonic testing. With either conventional or
high-frequency transducers, the UT320 and UT340 offer dramatic signal
to noise improvements at all gain settings.
Control
all instrument settings and test parameters through your computer
The UT320 allows
total software control through a simple command set. This advanced
level of control facilitates programmable laboratory testing as
well as automated industrial applications.
The elegantly
simple-to-use front panel of the UT340 allows fast and precise changes
to all instrument settings. The unique co-pilot mode feature lets
you work from either the front panel or the computer as both are
always active and updated.
Extraordinary
Performance at an Ordinary Price
At UTEX, we
have worked hard to develop a series of instruments that we think
you'll enjoy using and that have performance specifications you
won't find elsewhere.
Designed to
make your life easier, the UT340 features a simple-to-use front
panel that lets you get on with your work. The remote control software
even lets you work simultaneously from either the front panel or
your computer in co-pilot mode.
Both the UT320
and UT340 provide very fine adjustment resolution of its high voltage,
high current and very fast rise time pulses. This means that you
can now drive virtually any transducer technology and get the exact
pulse tuning you need.
The UT320 and
UT340 represent a significant advancement in ultrasonic pulse generation,
pulse tuning and wide-bandwidth amplification at a price comparable
to other manually controlled pulser receiver systems.
Pulser
The UT320 and
UT340 provide the optimum pulse-voltage and pulse-width combination
to excite any transducer. With a fast rise time ( <2.0 ns or
optional 1.0 ns), the instrument optimally drives any transducer
frequency up to 150 MHz. Pulse repetition frequencies to 20 kHz
enable high-speed scanning.
The engineered
"soft" start-up and adjustment sequence of both the UT320
and UT340 ensure safe operating limits that will not damage the
instrument or the transducer. If settings beyond these limits are
selected, the instrument will intervene and continue to run at safe
settings.
Receiver
The receiver
provides up to 63 dB of gain with continuous adjustment. The low-noise,
wide-bandwidth receiver characteristics offer improved inspection
performance.
In conventional
instrument designs, input signals are first attenuated and then
re-amplified by a fixed gain stage. The UT320 and UT340 have no
attenuators. This unique design offers dramatic signal to noise
improvements at all gain settings.
Modular
Architecture
The modular
architecture of the UT320 and UT340 offers maximum flexibility,
permitting users to select a system consistent with their specific
needs.
The main components
include a high-frequency, high-energy pulser and a low-noise, wide-bandwidth
receiver. Modules can be added as required or easily replaced for
servicing. The industrial-grade enclosure, only 3.5 inches high,
is sized for table-top or rack-mount use.
Computer
Control
UT320
- Computer controlled pulser receiver
Software included
with the UT340/320 allows every aspect of the instrument to be computer
controlled. All variables including pulse voltage, pulse width,
pulse repetition frequency and amplifier gain can be controlled
in discrete steps through a graphical user interface under Windows.
Winspect, an
optional Windows-based data inspection system, includes driver support
for the UT340/320 pulser receiver system. Winspect also provides
motion control, scan data recording and all conventional data display
formats.
UT340
- Computer controllable pulser receiver
All instrument
variables can be controlled simultaneously through the easy-to-use
front panel or through the included graphical computer interface
software.
Turn on
this virtual UT340 and press some of the buttons to see some of
the menus and options.
(Click
the power button to turn it on, double click to turn it off)
Your work will
be smooth and effortless since our simple, single-level menus permit
direct setting changes through a numeric keypad, rotary knob or
software sliders.
Save and recall
up to 99 configurations in the UT340 with just a few keystrokes
or save and recall configurations to files in your PC.
