The ultrasonic flaw detector ECHOGRAPH 1093 has completely separate testing channels, which are controlled with the help of a higher-ranked host pc. This pc works as a user interface and helps the operator to configure the ultrasonic system. In measuring mode the host collects data, stores data and produces statistical evaluations. Each test channel has its own complete ultrasonic electronics with a maximum pulse repetition frequency up to 3.000 Hz.
So each channel can drive its individual inspection task with its own parameter set. In consequence, the system electronics ECHOGRAPH 1093 is very flexible and fast. The device is especially suited for use in small automated inspection systems for the realisation of different inspection tasks (e.g. tube testing for longitudinal and transverse flaws and testing for lamination).
