DOLPHITECH MATRIX TRANSDUCERS VS PHASED ARRAY

Phased array transducers contain a number of individual transducers that can be pulsed individually to steer and 
Dolphitech Matrix transducers have transducer elements placed in a 2-dimensional array. Since the transducer directly covers the area of inspection, no encoder system is needed to calculate the position of each element. Reducing risk of positional errors due to faults or imprecision in the encoder system.focus the sound beam in a specific direction. Linear arrays are typically used in combination with an encoder system matching the signal with positional information to build a 2-dimensional image. Price will increase with the added number of elements and element gets smaller in size.

Substantial improvements in resolution are to be expected from a Dolphicam Ultrasound camera system compared to an Olympus MX phased array system.

MORE DATA THAN WE CAN USEdolphicam tranducer elements

The TRM has 128 horizontal and 128 vertical transducer electrodes. This makes a transducer element where one horizontal line crosses a vertical line. I total 16.384 transducer elements send and receive sound to create the data with a frame rate from 10 to 100 frames per second.

In short, our scans deliver more data than we can use for now. For you, this means that the product you buy today only will get better tomorrow.

The dolphicam2 can be used on material up to 60mm however this is dictated by the ability of the material to transmit ultrasound. The target material’s physical and chemical properties, as well as the ultrasonic frequency chosen, will all influence the dolphicam2’s penetration depth and its corresponding maximum inspection thickness.

We have achieved sub-millimetre detection in a range of materials. The material thickness and the ultrasonic frequency chosen will influence this resolution. The short wavelengths generated by higher frequencies provide superior resolution. This is how bats can use ultrasound to echolocate and catch insects, whereas we can’t do the same with our lower pitch voices!

Annual calibration is achieved remotely with our simple three step process. First, the user generates a calibration file on their system using the automatic annual calibration tool. Second, the user sends this calibration file to Ten adres pocztowy jest chroniony przed spamowaniem. Aby go zobaczyć, konieczne jest włączenie w przeglądarce obsługi JavaScript.. After this file is checked by our engineering team, we will issue an annual calibration certificate. This means that your dolphicam2 stays online, without ever needing to leave your facility. Find out more about the dolphicam2 here.

Yes, this can be achieved in two different ways. If individual voids are large enough, such as for needle voids, they can be resolved and measured directly using our geometrical measurement tools. In cases where micro pores may be too small to resolve explicitly, they can be detected via a reduction in the back wall signal amplitude. This effect can be quantified over a given area using our statistical measurement tools.

The dolphicam2 software offers a range of different display configurations, providing various combinations of A- B- and C-scans, as well as our 3D visualisation window. These layouts have been tailored to best suit the data being generated. Users can also manipulate the certain displays such as the gates, color palettes and measurement tools on the screen.

The dolphicam2 transducer module (TRM) works using a crossing electrode principle. Across the face of the transducer, 128 transmitter electrodes cross with 128 receiver electrodes. Between the two electrode layers, a piezoelectric material is placed which converts electrical energy to mechanical (sound) energy. To collect a pulse-echo-signal from a transducer element, a 70V pulse is excited on the transmitting electrode creating an ultrasonic pulse along the entire electrode. The ultrasonic pulse goes into the material and the reflected signal is sampled on one receiver electrode. In other words, each crossing point between the electrodes becomes an ultrasonic element, providing an aperture of 16,384 (128x128) elements.

At the moment we do not, they are all 40mm x 40mm. However, we take full advantage of the 128×128 matrix array in our current range of probes to provide a superior level of detail in real-time and in three dimensions.

We have a range of options available for larger area C-scan mapping. These include manual stitching, our GridTool and RapidMapper accessories, and using one- or two-axis encoders.

The dolphicam2 Blackbox and TRM are IP66 rated, which means they can withstand powerful dust and water jets, however should not be fully submerged underwater. It’s safe to immerse the front face of the TRM in few millimetres of water for a water-coupled inspection.

We offer curved delay lines that are matched to fit pipe outer diameters down to 50mm (2”). For more information, please visit https://www.dolphitech.com/products

The dolphicam2 platform provides straight beam inspection with unparalleled resolution.

The dolphicam2 can be used for to inspect a wide range of glass and carbon fibre reinforced composites as used in automotive, aerospace, defence, and energy markets. It can be also used to inspect metals in these sectors, as well as for adhesive bonding of similar and dissimilar materials. Finally, plastics, multi materials and some ceramics can also be inspected. View our capability studies here.

NDT IN THE VALUE CHAIN

ENGINEERING AND DESIGN

To ensure a cost effective life cycle for the product, structures must be designed and built with inspectability in mind. When engineering departments have easy access to NDT technology, the need for costly and time consuming involvement of external NDT partners can be minimized.

MANUFACTURING

It is imperative to monitor and control manufacturing quality. All process steps from QA of inbound parts through processing, assembly and final inspection must be carefully monitored. The consequence of letting flawed parts into the value stream can be costly and in worst case catastrophic.

IN-SERVICE

Composite materials are strong and light, but still fragile. BVID (Barely Visible Impact Damages) can be sign of structural weaknesses that are hard to detect by the human eye. As the use of CFRP increase in high volume products, service and maintenance organizations need easy-touse tools to verify structural integrity.

Main sectors

• Drilled Hole Inspection
• Core to laminate debonding
• Laminate to laminate debonding

Application: Drilled Hole Inspection

Drilling holes in composite structures can induce hole wall delaminations, reducing the mechanical properties of the structure. Conventional ultrasound NDT techniques are time-consuming given that inspecting each hole takes time and that there can be numerous drilled holes in an aircraft. Using the DolphiCam Drilled Hole Tool, NDT Operators can focus on critical inspection depths. Defects as close as 2 plies from the surface is easily detected. The DolphiCam collects the complete image without need the move the camera. The dry coupling transducer allows inspection of the hole without using couplant.

Its solid construction from high quality linear bearings ensure smooth scanning, precision and high inspection speeds. The GridToolTM is fixed to the surface by one or two large, powerful suction cups. Setup-time is usually less then 3 minutes! Due to the low weight, the system can be placed in any orientation, even inverted on painted or shiny surfaces. The suction cup can also be removed to allow for a bolted placement if needed. The attachment is hinged to allow access to non-planar surfaces.

Application: NDT for Teams

DolphiCam TeamCenter is a system solution for making non-experts capable of performing NDT inspections. The inspections are performed following guided procedures provided by the NDT Expert.

PREPARING THE SYSTEM

The NDT Expert uses DolphiCam Expert to finds the best camera settings for the given structures taking the material, thickness and other factors into account. Next, the Expert uses TeamCenter/Expert to make a TeamCenter library contaning inspection procedures for each critical area and distribute the TeamCenter library to his team of NDT inspectors.

PERFORMING THE INSPECTION

Automatically opening TeamCenter/Inspector with the correct library, the inspector navigates to the correct inspection procedure, and enter details on the object to be inspected. The camera is automatically set up with the correct settings for the procedure. At the end of the inspection, a PDF report is automatically created.
