C-MAX

  Associated with all Unicorn "turnkey systems", or available separately, is our C-MAX Electronics processing equipment. These are high performance ultrasonic generation and processing units designed to meet the demanding high speed testing capabilities of our ultrasonic equipment.
  The operator interface and results processing is designed around Windows NT to provide a comprehensive and  easy to use control environment. The common level of understanding of the Windows environment helps enormously in reducing operator training time allowing them to achieve a high level of competence and confidence in ultrasonic testing with minimal reference to manuals. Many facilities are available to make configuration easier and testing faster and more reliable.  Some notable features are listed below.... 

fully automatic turnkey ultrasonic testing system for steel tubes and gas cylinders
48 Channel System
 

bullet

Automatic calibration. The system will automatically adjust defect detection gates and amplifier gain settings according to signals obtained from the test standard (e.g. tube with notches and/or wall reductions)

bullet

A-Scan capture to allow dynamic viewing of a transient notch signal. This is particularly useful with high speed rotary probes.

bullet

Defect Discrimination.  Sophisticated analysis facilities are available to be applied to pulse echo results in order to reduce spurious defect indications. This analysis can be performed at full PRF rate on all channels in real time !!  This technique allows high integrity testing without the common compromise of reductions in production throughput due to false indications

bullet

Non Multiplexed.  All C-MAX channels in a multi channel system "fire" in parallel, (i.e. with no multiplexing) even at the highest PRF rates (e.g. 20KHz) and up to 128 channels.  This allows the Unicorn rotary probes to be used at peak performance in terms of production throughput rate.
