Inspection scenario
In the rotary type AUT system, the unit with transducers rotates around the object being tested. Meanwhile, the object (pipe or round bar) moves through the unit. This allows the transducers to scan the surface of the object in a spiral pattern. The AUT is performed using the immersion method, where water is supplied to the rotary unit during its rotation Each rotary unit contains up to 16 positions of transducers. Transducers of various types can be installed depending on test specification, enabling different inspection configurations. The contactless signal transmission ensures longterm operation of the transducers, ease of maintenance at the customer site, and excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
System components
The complete set of test machine rotary type consists of the following components: ∙ Rotary unit with sliding table ∙ UT electronics ∙ Control systems ∙ Height -adjustable test bench ∙ Tripple roll drives ∙ Water circulation system ∙ Flaw marking system ∙ Software
