Mistras Releases Tablet UT
Posted: 2013-8-26
MISTRAS Group is continuing to shape the face of Ultrasonic Testing with the
Tablet UT system. MISTRAS has developed the Tablet UT with the
convenience of a portable Ultrasonic Testing (UT) system coupled with the
power, functionality, and features of a computer.
From that fusion comes unparalleled connectivity and versatility harnessed within
an industry-leading 10.4-inch dynamic touchscreen display, putting the Tablet
UT on the cutting edge of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) equipment – a
position MISTRAS has led since the 1970s.
The Tablet UT features up to three-axis motion control with 1-, 2-, or 3-axis
encoder inputs and the compatibility to operate a wide variety of companion
scanners – both single and dual axis; automatic and manual; mini and tabletop.
From a testing standpoint, the Tablet UT also stands out thanks to its
thickness data logging and RF waveform storage capabilities. It features four
independent gates and a four-function pulser with spike, square, tone burst, and
chirp modes from shearwave testing to A-B-C-Scan and TOFD.
It quickly assesses the presence of defects, corrosion/erosion, delamination, and
internal anomalies in a variety of structures, and materials.
other industry-leading Ut features include:
• 14-bit ADC digitizer (data processing 16 bit) • Up to 3 axis of motion control
• TOFD testing display
• Real-time A-Scan with B- or C-Scan images
• Weld testing display – shear path, depth, and projection
• Digital thickness display • 1 or 2 channel operation
Tablet UTTM has all the features, accessibility, and connectivity to function not
only as a top-of-the-line portable, stand- alone UT inspection device – but also
as a personal computer based on a standard Windows operating system. Built on
a multicore platform, the Tablet UT runs MicrosoftTM Windows 7 operating
system along with UTwinTM/Tablet UTwinTM, giving it the functionality and
features of a lab computer. It comes with up to 256 GB mSATA of storage and
8GB of operational memory allowing users to store test results and analysis –
including RF Waveforms. Computing power is the platform on which Tablet
UTTM’s industry-unique features like on-board data analysis and thickness data
logging are built.
In addition to function, the Tablet UT offers plenty of features that enhance
the user experience. No other UT testing device matches the amount or range of
outputs that Tablet UTTM offers. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity along with an
Ethernet port allow for easy sharing and data syncing. Two USB ports, and
Bluetooth, let users connect any peripheral to the Tablet UTTM normally
connected to a PC. An external video output enables users to attach monitors or
projectors for a range of uses (presentations, desktop use, etc.). Even if users
keep their Tablet UT in the field full time, a 10.4- inch touchscreen offers
plenty of viewing size, functionality, and ease of use.
In fact, the most portable feature of Tablet UT is size. It weighs just 7.75 lbs
with one battery and 8.75 lbs. with two. It’s equipped with a "hot swappable"
Lithium-Ion battery, holding an estimated 8+ hour life with 2 batteries, and a DC
power adapter that allows for battery charging and operation. A second battery
and external charger are available.
The user-driven nature of the Tablet UT reaches far beyond system design.
The Tablet UTTM’s user interface function and design make the user experience
truly intuitive. On-screen menus help users seamlessly navigate through all of
the Tablet UT’s testing, analysis and display functions. Programmable macros,
as well as on- screen and keypad short cuts, make the Tablet UT
customizable to a user’s needs.
