MicroPulse LTPA 64/128

Built on the latest MicroPulse developments, the LTPA 64/128 provides a high performance, flexible and compact ultrasonic inspection system. All LTPA’s are completely enclosed units, capable of conventional, Phased Array and FMC acquisition processes. Utilising Power over Ethernet technology and Gigabit Ethernet for seriously fast data transfer the LTPA is ideally suited for all your inspection requirements.

Overview

The LTPA is a compact (120mm x 280mm x 310mm), rugged, lightweight (<5 Kg), and enclosed unit (no fans). Interchangeable with the existing MicroPulse systems, it connects to the PC running the test application via Ethernet and takes its power over Ethernet or from a separate 48V power source. LTPA has very low noise and the Gigabit Ethernet provides data throughput up to 120 MBytes/second. The 64/128 instrument is available in two configurations; a) With a single hypertronics connector or b) with two hypertronics connectors 64/64 Tx/Rx on each connector. Additionally, 2 conventional channels (pulse echo or pitch-catch) are available.

Software Platforms

The open and transparent data format and long-established MicroPulse command language makes for a totally new experience, no longer is the user forced down the one software platform fits all, resulting in complex and cluttered applications.

Supplied in the box, Peak NDT’s ArrayGen software will get you started, then the choices are yours. Compatible with procedure based platforms like MIPS/GUIDE to user definable interfaces like InspectionWare, LabView or TWI’s Crystal FMC platform. If a bespoke application is what’s required, then using Peak NDT’s Focal Law calculation dll with the transparent data formats and standard sockets make writing custom applications a breeze.
