Z-Scan Lite

The Z-scan Lite comprises three sections:

A. The manual, dual axis encoded, scanner utilises a 5 MHz dual dry coupled wheel probe allowing C-scan ultrasonic imaging to be carried out without the need for traditional ultrasonic couplant. The scanner is suitable for both plate and pipe from 200mm diameter to flat.

B. The battery operated (7 hours on a full charge) digital ultrasonic transmitter / receiver processes the UT signals and combines this information with detailed positional information from the dual axis encoder.

C. The latest generation ORIGAMI computer with heavy duty battery pack giving 4 hours continuous use combined with battery hot swap feature. The Rscan is connected to the computer via the USB 2.0 port which can handle scanning speeds of up to 200mm/sec. The software has standard flaw detector controls for the A-scan set-up, simplifying training and operation requirements. All controls such as gain, time base range, filtering and gate adjustments are on the same screen as the active Ascan display and the C-scan image. The easy to use defect sizing tools combined with cut and paste functions allow the export of defect images directly into other Windows software packages such as Word or Excel. These features turn the Z-Scan from a simple corrosion detection device into one of the most cost effective, comprehensive Ultrasonic C-scan Imaging Systems on the market today.
