Ultrasonic Squirter Systems
Squirter systems are another way to inspect parts. The principle remains the same however. The ultrasonic sound beam is coupled to the part via a column of water. This is the same as bubbler systems or immersion systems. It offers benefits of each, coupling to complex surfaces and increased simplicity of part handling.
Accelerated Life Testing
Below is a picture of the transducer arm from our latest ERW system undergoing some accelerated life testing. We have just begun this testing and hope to catch up and pass the actual cycles of the newest machine which we installed in about 11 days. This will equal 5 months life. In another 20 days, we will pass our first of these systems which has been in the field for a little over a year now. This arm is fast becoming the backbone of our future inspection systems. This arm can carry up to 25 pounds on the end and down to one. A shock absorber system can be tuned for different packages mounted on the end. Click on the picture to see a MPG video demonstrating this feature. NOTE, FILE IS 2.75 MEG.
