ISONIC 3507 is a dual channel version of the ISONIC 3505 instrument.
ISONIC 3507 carries the exceptionally innovative dual channel
ultrasonic card with never-saturated-receivers; each of the receivers
keeps the linearity over 140 dB dynamic range digitizing the originally
received signals independently on the gain and rectification
settings in every firing / receiving cycle. For each channel every single
A-Scan or the sequence of A-Scans forming a record stored into a file
may be reproduced then off-line in the form desired by an operator
(RF, half- or full wave rectified, FFT) at any gain level over the said 140
dB range. So even in case of very significant deviation of the pre-
inspection gain setting from the required one the observation and
evaluation of the recorded data may be performed at the right levels
without secondary scanning.
The top level ultrasonic performance of ISONIC 3507 channels is
achieved thanks to the said never-saturated-receiver and to the
versatile firing circuit allowing forming of the Spike, Unipolar-, or
Bipolar Square Wave initial pulse with wide-range-tunable duration
and amplitude (up to 400 Vpp). The high stability of the square wave
initial pulse amplitude within entire duration of the positive and
negative half-waves, the extremely short boosted rising and falling
edges and the automatic adaptive damping allow optimizing of the
ultrasonic wave penetration into various materials characterized either
by high or low grain size, sound attenuation, and the like and
improving of the signal to noise and the resolution
ISONIC 3507 is a direct successor of ISONIC 2007 instrument. It may
be operated as single or dual channel unit. Each single channel carries
the functionality as below:
• superior performance A-Scan set including the spectrum analyzer for
ultrasonic signals
• fully featured (data capturing and enhanced postprocessing)
standalone TOFD unit
• general purpose CB-Scan machine for the performing of:
• SRGW (short range guided wave) inspection and imaging also
known as SRUT
• surface / shear wave inspection and mapping
• volume overlay incidence angle / skip corrected high resolution flaw
detection B-Scan and Thickness Profile recorder
• C-Scan through raster scanning with straight- and angle beam probes
either mechanic-free or with use of the mechanized or automatic XY
scanner (optional)
In case of dual channel operation the strip-chart forming and
recording is provided; the strip chart may comprise:
• TOFD strips
• Map / PE strips (switchable on- and off-line)
• a combination of 2 strips of different type, for example TOFD + Map,
Map + PE, etc
100% raw data capturing is provided for all recorded inspections.
Whilst in dual channel mode the channels may perform the firing-
receiving cycles either at parallel or in sequence
Thanks to the never-saturated-receivers each channel of ISONIC 3507
is featured with the ability of individual gain control for both
independent gates over the range of 140 dB separately from the rest of
the A-Scan reproduced at the global instrument gain. This opens a
number of new abilities such as:
• implementing the pulse echo and back echo attenuation inspections
simultaneously with use of the same A-Scan whilst monitoring the
back echo amplitude at the clearly visible level without affecting the
sensitivity of the pulse echo inspection
• increasing the detectability of subsurface defects for TOFD inspection
through shortening the tail of lateral wave signal dynamically
• precise materials characterization through the signal spectrum
analysis independent on the instrument gain setting
• etc
Thanks to the Client – Server software architecture ISONIC 3507 may
be controlled remotely from a regular PC running under Win’XP, 7, 8, 10
over Ethernet or Internet (Sonotron NDT’s UT over IP technology).
There is no need in the special software for that purpose, the same
software as in the instrument should be installed in the PC
ISONIC 3507 is featured with the hardware triggering in/out terminals
and the interface echo triggering making it suitable for use in various
integrated systems
The instrument is fully compatible with the Sonotron NDT's VAUT
technology (Video Aided UT)
The lifetime free software upgrade policy is provided for ISONIC 3505
as for all other instruments from Sonotron NDT
ISONIC 3507 is packed into the IP 65 reinforced plastic case with no
intake air or any other cooling means. The large 800X600 8.5” bright
screen provides fine resolution and visibility for all types of inspection
data presentation at strong ambient light along with the optimized
power consumption rate for the outdoor operation
