Ultrasonic
PAUT 32/128
PAUT 32/128 is a phased array cartridge for advanced NDT Applications, “an ultrasound workhorse”. It features enough active channels, focal laws, encoders and speed needed for most portable and automated inspections.
Advantages of the PAUT 32/128 include:
- Ready for 3D, with up to 12 axis; direct support for position tracking devices, from one-axis quadrature encoder to full-fledge laser 6DOF trackers
- Hot swappable batteries
- Battery Life up to 12 hours
Overview
Can be connected on either PragmaPro portable platform or PragmaPod remote-control platform. With 32 channels PAUT 32/128 is ideal to support Ultrasound (UT), Phased Array (PAUT) and Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) applications and maximum PAUT flexibility and speed is achieved multiplexing over 128 elements. The cartridge can be connected on the PragmaPro portable platform or on the PragmaPod remote-control platform. This allows maximum flexibility when developing applications, providing an upward compatibility path to reach automation.
