N-BUS
N-BUS (Narrow Band Ultrasonic
Spectroscopy) is designed for composite testing. It uses measurement of
the changes in electrical impedance of the transducer due to loading
variations in the material
under test for detection of defects.
The
application field for Narrow Band Ultrasonic Spectroscopy (or N-BUS)
will increase rapidly with the growing application of layered structure
tubes in modern aircraft, for example, GLARE, FRP, CFRP and HONEYCOMB
for aircraft such as the Boeing &E7, Airbus A-380, Joint Strike Fighter
F-35 etc.
Instrument uses tuned transducer for
particular material geometry for obtaining best sensitivity to small
defects. The instrument uses a specially designed ultrasound probe
driven by continuous frequency. The impedance is displayed on classical
eddy current display. When coupled with
FreeScan, N-BUS can be used to
provide C-Scan images of the scanned area.
All hardware and firmware functions
are software controlled through host computer. The software package has
been tested to run under Windows XP.
Features:
• Modular hardware, firmware and host software design
• Full operation from host computer
• High long-term stability and reproducibility of the signals
• N-BUS probes available over a wide frequency range - 50 KHz to 1 MHz
• N-BUS instrument frequency range - 1 KHz to 10 MHz
• High resolution digitization (A/D conversions) - 16 bit
• High and low pass digital filters
• Independent DC and AC gain settings
• Compatible for operation with
FreeScan,
obtaining C-Scan images
• Computer interface: Ethernet 10/100 MBPS
Options:

FreeScan, complete C-Scanning functionality and
additional capabilities are available:
o Freehand inspection of curved surfaces
o 3-D C-Scan display
o Defect calibration facility
o Computer based defect sizing
o Reporting
• Applications support
o for selection of optimum operating frequency for the application
