TecScan offers high performance Ultrasonic Pulser-Receivers specially designed for demanding NDT scanning applications. Our Pulser-Receivers are used in wide range of application, including aerospace, industrial, manufacturing and laboratory for composite testing of large and thick structures as well as for industrial applications for weld inspection, thickness and corrosion mapping. They can be purchased as part of our scanning systems or by themselves, piloted by the easy-to-use TecView™ NDT software. Trusted and widely used by Quality Testing and Components Testing companies, these Pulser-Receivers are renowned for their amazing flexibility and performance.
There are 3 Standard Configurations:
High Flexibility
With a high flexibility in the adjustment of pulse amplitude, pulse width and a set of damping resistors, our Pulser-Receivers accommodate a very wide range of applications and transducer types.
Variable Pulse Width and Fast Rise/Fall Time
Due to the wide range of pulse width and fast rise/fall time, these Pulser can be used to optimize the response of broadband transducers of various frequencies.
Reliable and Powerful
All models have rapid recovery receivers which are fully shielded from electromagnetic noise to provide high signal-to-noise ratio output signals. With up to 80dB receiver gain adjustable in 0.1dB increments, variable offset and selectable low and high pass filters, received signals can be optimized with high precision.
Used for a Wide Variety of NDT Applications
These Pulser/Receivers are perfectly suitable for application such as flaw detection and thickness gauging, up to material and transducer characterization, computer-controlled measurements and C-Scan imaging.
Computer Controlled Via USB
All the Pulser-Receivers come with Windows® based control panel software. A software development kit for Windows® 7 is also provided to easily integrate the functionalities of the pulser/reciver into your software
Spike & Square Wave Pulser
Two available user-selectable wave modes provide optimization for wide range of NDT applications and for optimizing the response of broadband transducers of various frequencies.
Receiver with Time-Corrected Gain
The UTPR-CC 50 Pulser-Receiver comes with Windows® based control panel software with Time-Corrected Gain (TCG) option. It consists of a time-varying gain correction applied based on a DAC curve defined by the user.
Optional Backwall Echo Attenuation
Backwall Echo Attenuation (BEA) is a special tool that is only available with dual pulse-receiver hardware. It allows control of the receiver gain-independently on different sections of a single A-Scan to avoid saturation while increasing the gain on separate areas of the RF signal.
