Advanced Ultrasound-based cameras for 2D and 3D Inspection of Composite Materials


Advanced Ultrasound-based cameras for 2D and 3D Inspection of Composite Materials

Dolphitech AS provides advanced ultrasound-based cameras for 2D and 3D identification, inspection and analysis of defects in composite materials. The Company uses advanced technology developed by a team of experts in ultrasound, analogue and digital electronics.

DolphiCam is a mobile and ergonomic ultrasound camera system designed for NDT inspection of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics). The camera uses a unique dry-coupling transducer technology with high performance signaling electronics creating high-resolution 2D and 3D images of suspected damage areas to verify the status of the material. We have now released a new product, DolphiCam Research, which gives scientists access to advanced camera control features such as raw data sets for further material analysis and user defined pulses.

DolphiCam is a mobile and ergonomic ultrasound camera system designed for NDT inspection of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) creating high-resolution 2D and 3D images of suspected damage areas. The camera supports A-, B- and C-scan images, supporting both Amplitude and Time-of-Flight.

MATRIX TRANSDUCER WITH DRY COUPLING
Unlike Phased Array systems, our matrix transducer gives simple, high-resolution images without moving the transducer, or using an encoder. The silicone-based transducer pad allows dry coupling on painted or shiny surfaces, and water or contact gel can be used on rougher surfaces.

Features
-High resolution images
-Dry and wet coupling
-2D and 3D images
-A-, B-, and C-scans
-Amplitude & Time of Flight
-Manual Stitching function
-Windows 7 or 8 compatible
-User defined pulses
-Raw data access
