Automation/Sperry US454 Amarillo College has an Automation US454 c-scan immersion scanner which we would like to upgrade. It seems that paper for the pen recorder is hard to obtain, so we would like to record scans on a PC. Can anyone provide guidance for attaching motion encoders or potentiometers.? We could also use recommendations for PC software. For flaw detectors, we can supply Epoch 2002s with analoge gate output, or newer Krautkramer USM 58 or Panametrics units. Since this is not a corporate sponsored project, we are looking to do this upgrade ourselves, rather than purchasing a commercial solution.

Re: Automation/Sperry US454 Hello Dwight, NDT-Automation has performed many full digital C-Scan upgrades on AI systems like yours. I
notice you stated you would like to do some of the upgrade yourself? We can assist you. Phil Thayer

Re: Automation/Sperry US454 I would strongly recommend the Winspect software from UTEX (www.utex.com)We have sold a few of these in the UK, and used it to upgrade an old electro sensitive paper tank of our own.
Assuming the old sperry tank uses stepper motors and the power supply / driver amplifiers (may need some work here on some older systems) are in good shape all you should need is
PC - Dual monitors recoomended Winspect software Motion control card - Galil or similar A/D card - National Instruments recommended.
Any of the Flaw Detectors should work, but all will probably have a fairly slow update rate - Less of an issue if you are not doing 'production' work so can keep the speed down.
When this becomes an issue we'd happily sell you one of our Masterscan Flaw Detectors, which are much faster.. Good luck Joe

| | |  FMC/TFMNext generation for Phased Array UT is here now with FMC/TFM! Have higher
resolution imaging, impr ... oved signal to noise ratio, characterize, size and analyze
defects better with access to several wave mode views and save raw FMC data for
higher quality analysis. Some of the benefits are:
- Beautiful Image! Easier to understand what you're looking at
- Completely focused in entire image or volume
- Much easier to define setups before inspection
- Easier to decipher geometry echoes from real defects
- Oriented defects (e.g. cracks) are imaged better
- See image from different wave modes from one FMC inspection
- FMC data can be reprocessed/analyzed without going back to the field
>  NovaScope 6000The all-digital Novascope 6000 is a portable, ultra-high precision
thickness gauge for high-speed ... thickness measurement.
Novascope 6000 has unmatched capabilities and unique features
including:
•Superior Resolution with high contrast, high-speed color RF
display
•High pulser voltage
•Real-time video output
•Increased internal/external data storage
•Programmable SetUp features
•Battery & AC Powered >  Compact NDT inspection-heads for measurements with active thermographyThe compact inspection head is suitable for thermographic ndt
tasks. The uncooled infrared camera ... is specially developed for
NDI-tasks and offers a thermal sensitivity until now known only
from thermal imagers with cooled detector. All required
components and functions are integrated into the inspection-head.
You will only need an ethernet cable to connect the sensor with
the evaluation system.
