| In the past, ultrasonic measurement required some form of set-up on the ultrasonic waveform. These systems needed to determine the proper echoes (high-frequency sound waves) to trigger measurement. But recent advances have made ultrasonic technology more accurate, robust, and much easier to use. Beta LaserMike, a global organisation specialising in the design and manufacture of precision measurement and control systems for the wire and cable, fibre optic, as well as pipe and tube industry, offers its UltraScan� measurement system that demonstrates the merits of ultrasonic technology when applied to in-line measurement of concentricity and wall thickness for cable manufacturers.
Beta LaserMike�s innovative �Snap Technology� utilises digital signal processing that provides the capability to accommodate all three steps (locate the signal, determine the proper trigger set-up points, track the signal within a wide window of measurement) in the set-up process, automatically. Beta LaserMike�s unique software algorithms:
- Filter-out high-frequency electrical noise;
- Mathematically process the ultrasonic waveform;
- Create a simplified energy profile;
- Decipher the information to determine the optimum points for wall-thickness measurement.
The UltraScan� measurement system also supports many applications outside the wire and cable industry with particular focus in the extruded pipe and tube market. This versatility was a significant strategic consideration when justifying the UltraScan�s development during the wire and cable sector�s downturn.
