NDT Systems Bondascope 350 Dual Mode Bond Tester
The Bondascope 350 is super compact and lightweight handheld, battery operated ultrasonic bond tester that used 2 different testing modes to cover a range of applications. Operating typically between 20kHz - 400kHz, the lower frequency, compared to conventional ultrasonic testing, enables deeper penetration through attenuating materials, across multiple glue lines and even sandwich cores to detect far-side defects. The different display modes are optimized for different applications with a variety of gates and alarms to easily identify a flaw.

Dual-Mode Operation:
This instrument uses the most common Pitch-catch (P/C) and Resonance modes that are suited to laminates, bonded and sandwich structures. Pitch-catch is dry coupled, easy to use and works well on larger defects, >0.5". Resonance mode requires couplant, but can identify smaller defects and even determine which layer the defect occurred in with multi-layered bonded structures.
4 Inspection Methods
When a probe is connected to the Bondascope 350, the automatic recognition optimizes the settings for the probe type. There are 4 inspection methods available:
Pitch-Catch RF:
Transmits a short burst of acoustic energy to the part and measures the amplitude and phase change of the received signal directly. A disbond reduces sound attenuation into the part leading to a higher amplitude at the receiver.
Pitch-Catch Pulsed:
Transmits a spike pulse of broadband and acoustic energy into the part and measures the amplitude of the received signal.
Pitch-Catch Swept:
Transmits a short burst of acoustic energy to the part across a pre-defined swept frequency range. The system measures the amplitude and phase change of the received signal.
Resonance:
Probe driven at the resonance frequency and the damping caused by contact with the part is analyzed. Defects are identified by a change in the phase and amplitude of the probe resonance caused by a change in acoustic impedance of the part.
Results can be displayed in different modes including live RF envelope or impedance plane display. The Impedance-plane display (flying dot or swept) is a polar coordinate system showing the phase shift and amplitude of the test area compared to a nulled out good bond. A time-encoded profile of phase and amplitude can also be used for rapid scanning.
There is a range of probes available for each inspection method and the system is also compatible with probes from other manufacturers for added functionality.
