The Raptor is an All New category in Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors. The Raptor is not only a contemporary high speed flaw detector BUT, also INCLUDES a Full Featured C-Scan Imaging System within the same package. Leveraging three 32 bit microprocessors, the Raptor offers substantially more in capability than ANY conventional flaw detector from ANY competitor. Press the Flaw Mode key and the Raptor performs as any High Performance flaw detector would. Press the Imaging key and the Raptor becomes a full featured Flaw Detector AND Imaging System matching and in some cases exceeding the features of imaging systems costing more than $40,000, at standard Flaw Detector prices !!
The Raptor supports manual scanners, our all new inexpensive, light weight Li-ion battery powered semi-automated scanners as well as the capability to support fully automated stepper or servo operated high speed, high resolution scanners via NDT Systems new external "DriveBox" interface. Why buy any "standard" flaw detector when you can rely on a company offering 35 years of ultrasonic innovation.
The Raptor simply out-classes any flaw detector available today!
Full Featured Ultrasonic Flaw Detector AND Full Imaging System for the price of a STANDARD Flaw Detector!
IMAGING FOR THE MASSES - At a PRICE anyone can afford !!
Advanced NDT Ltd & NDT Systems, Inc., are once again pleased to introduce a new and novel concept in Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors. The Raptor ushers in a new category of Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors by offering full imaging capability in a standard hand held flaw detector. Not only is the RAPTOR a high performance flaw detector offering features usually found on premium flaw detectors but it adds functionality including C-Scan, Dual Axis B-Scan, 3D, Pan & Zoom, Spreadsheet review mode and more.
Notable features of the RAPTOR Imaging Flaw Detector:
Fully sunlight readable 640x480 Pixel display. This display is the absolute leading edge technology in commercial flat panel displays. The viewing angle is 160 degrees in all axis making easy to view from any angle. The intensity is also adjustable from 10%-100%
Simple Direct Access Keys to major menu items.
F1-F8 Context Sensitive Direct Access Keys
Sync: IP or IF - 1st, 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd
(- to -), (- to +), (+ to -) and (+ to +) Gating , either IP-1st, 1st to 2nd or IF
Spike and Square Wave Pulsers are fully user adjustable. Spike voltage up to 350V and Square wave voltage to 400v, from 10 to 10,000ns in 5ns increments.
Rep Rate is automated or can be user adjustable from 1Hz (ONE Hertz) to 5KHz in
The RAPTOR also supports a growing list of available scanners from simple manual scanners to full production oriented scanners incorporating Stepper and Servo drives (via an optional external control unit). There are even lightweight battery powered scanners available providing controlled motion semi automated scanning capability. The picture to the left is demonstrating the RCA-10 battery powered Cantilever Arm Scanner. NO AC Power is required. The battery powered scanner is powered via an external battery pack incorporating the same battery as used in the RAPTOR instrument.
Manual PRF Control: Allows the operator to manually adjust the RAPTOR's pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from 1 Hz to 5KHz in 5 Hz increments.
Extended Range: 0.080" to 800" (2 mm to 20,000 mm)
Gate 2 (Echo-to-Echo): A second Gate in the RAPTOR allowing Gate 2 measurements , Echo-to-Echo measurements and Gate 2 alarms.
Tunable Square Wave Pulser: Allows the operator to tune the pulse width of the square wave pulser to optimize transducer performance.
AWS D1.1 & D1.5 Calculations: Permits more efficient inspection by eliminating manual calculations.
