Vertical Flat Scanner Systems

The 5510 vertical flat panel scanner and 5530 vertical flat panel scanner. Vertical through transmission systems are suitable for a variety of high performance C-scan applications on substantially flat components.

These systems are designed for the production inspection of advanced composite and metal bonded components and employ modules used throughout SDI’s product range. These systems incorporate the MasterScan motion control and WinScan data acquisition packages.

RECENT SYSTEM PROJECTS

The system specifications presented on our website are for a typical UT vertical flat scanner system and are presented for informational purposes only. The details of a specific system may differ significantly due to specific needs and customer requirements. SDI provide a comprehensive training program including 5 days training of personnel in the operation and routine maintenance of this equipment.

ACQUISITION / ANALYSIS

All systems are supplied with the latest SDI-WinScan multi-tasking acquisition and analysis package designed for high throughput production applications. A technical description of the features and benefits of this high performance industrial package is attached. Some of the key features are:

  • High-speed pan and zoom through entire data file
  • High speed, high quality 1:1 plotting of all or selected areas of the data file
  • Scan comments stored with the data file
  • Multi-channel operation
  • True multi-tasking to allow scanning, plotting and viewing of stored files to be performed simultaneously without a reduction in speed
  • Numerous analysis features such as histograms, in dB and linear scales, cluster analysis
  • providing automatic defect identification, image smoothing and filtering with operator defined kernels
  • Full Waveform Capture with B-Scan

Another time saving feature of the fully integrated motion control and data acquisition package is the ability to perform mini-scans. Areas of interest can be tagged on the data file and the system will automatically drive back to them and re-scan the area using selected defect evaluation scan parameters such as full waveform capture.
