UltraGauge+ ultrasonic measurement

With ultrasonic devices, users can measure tubing walls during extrusion, enabling early detection of flaws and elimination of costly product waste. And, because the UltraGauge+ is designed to work with LaserLinc’s line of laser micrometers and powerful Total Vu™ software package, users can view the dynamic UltraGauge+ waveform graphs and the product cross-section—on any standard Windows PC.

The UltraGauge+ system consists of a digital signal processor (DSP), transducer block, and laser micrometer; the DSP connects via Ethernet to a PC running Total Vu software.

In a typical UltraGauge+ setup, the transducers are placed in a product’s cooling tank. To build a picture of a product, the transducers emit acoustic pulses (pings), receive the pulses' echoes, and convert them to measurements.

As it has been doing for years with laser micrometers, Total Vu software takes the measurements and presents them in a graphical interface, giving users the data they need to monitor their product.

Make the UltraGauge+ THE choice for in-process non-destructive, wall-thickness measurement!

Product types and wall thickness ranges measurable by the UltraGauge+
Plastics	.001" – 1.0" (.025mm – 25mm)	For some plastics such as Teflon, the UltraGauge+ can measure product as small as 0.0005"/.0127mm.
Rubber	.001" – 1.0" (.025mm – 25mm)
Glass Tubing	.012"/.3mm minimum
Metal Tubing	.004"/.1mm minimum	Including stainless steel and Nitinol.
The UltraGauge+ can also measure multi-layered product (up to three layers), but various factors will affect measurement capability. Because of the many variables involved with measurement of a particular material, LaserLinc will require samples to evaluate and determine suitability of the product.
