Features
and Benefits
Improve transducer performance
through unprecedented pulse tuning
Precisely match pulse and
transducer characteristics utilizing pulse width steps of 0.20 ns and full
pulse voltage control. The output of most transducers can be easily doubled
through this level of pulse tuning.
Deliver the power to drive any
transducer
A full 350 microjoules of energy
is available to the transducer since no damping circuitry is required for
pulse tuning. Improved output energy reduces the amount of gain needed to
detect small flaws, permits the use of new probe technologies and offers
extended testing capabilities.
Obtain low-noise and
wide-bandwidth performance at the same time
Use one instrument for all of
your ultrasonic testing. With either conventional or high-frequency
transducers, the UT320 and UT340 offer dramatic signal to noise improvements
at all gain settings.
Control all instrument settings
and test parameters through your computer
The UT320 allows total software
control through a simple command set. This advanced level of control
facilitates programmable laboratory testing as well as automated industrial
applications.
The elegantly simple-to-use front
panel of the UT340 allows fast and precise changes to all instrument
settings. The unique co-pilot mode feature lets you work from either the
front panel or the computer as both are always active and updated.
Extraordinary Performance at an
Ordinary Price
At UTEX, we have worked hard to
develop a series of instruments that we think you'll enjoy using and that
have performance specifications you won't find elsewhere.
Designed to make your life
easier, the UT340 features a simple-to-use front panel that lets you get on
with your work. The remote control software even lets you work simultaneously
from either the front panel or your computer in co-pilot mode.
Both the UT320 and UT340 provide
very fine adjustment resolution of its high voltage, high current and very
fast rise time pulses. This means that you can now drive virtually any
transducer technology and get the exact pulse tuning you need.
The UT320 and UT340 represent a
significant advancement in ultrasonic pulse generation, pulse tuning and
wide-bandwidth amplification at a price comparable to other manually
controlled pulser receiver systems.
Pulser
The UT320 and UT340 provide the
optimum pulse-voltage and pulse-width combination to excite any transducer.
With a fast rise time ( <2.0 ns or optional 1.0 ns), the instrument
optimally drives any transducer frequency up to 150 MHz. Pulse repetition
frequencies to 20 kHz enable high-speed scanning.
The engineered "soft"
start-up and adjustment sequence of both the UT320 and UT340 ensure safe
operating limits that will not damage the instrument or the transducer. If
settings beyond these limits are selected, the instrument will intervene and
continue to run at safe settings.
Receiver
The receiver provides up to 63 dB
of gain with continuous adjustment. The low-noise, wide-bandwidth receiver
characteristics offer improved inspection performance.
In conventional instrument
designs, input signals are first attenuated and then re-amplified by a fixed
gain stage. The UT320 and UT340 have no attenuators. This unique design
offers dramatic signal to noise improvements at all gain settings.
Modular Architecture
The modular architecture of the
UT320 and UT340 offers maximum flexibility, permitting users to select a
system consistent with their specific needs.
The main components include a
high-frequency, high-energy pulser and a low-noise, wide-bandwidth receiver.
Modules can be added as required or easily replaced for servicing. The
industrial-grade enclosure, only 3.5 inches high, is sized for table-top or
rack-mount use.
Computer Control

UT320 - Computer controlled pulser receiver

Software included with the UT340/320 allows every aspect of the instrument to
be computer controlled. All variables including pulse voltage, pulse width,
pulse repetition frequency and amplifier gain can be controlled in discrete
steps through a graphical user interface under Windows.
Winspect, an optional
Windows-based data inspection system, includes driver support for the
UT340/320 pulser receiver system. Winspect also provides motion control, scan
data recording and all conventional data display formats.
UT340 - Computer controllable
pulser receiver

All instrument variables can be controlled simultaneously through the
easy-to-use front panel or through the included graphical computer interface
software.

Your work will be smooth and effortless since our simple, single-level menus
permit direct setting changes through a numeric keypad, rotary knob or
software sliders.
Save and recall up to 99
configurations in the UT340 with just a few keystrokes or save and recall
configurations to files in your PC.
