Thanks to its proprietary Piezocomposite
technology, Imasonic is a world leader in phased array ultrasonic probes
(see phased
array concept page )
Due to their structure, Piezocomposite 1-3
materials permit high insulation between each element of a phased array probe.
These materials also avoid unexpected radiations, like lateral modes. The result
is a beam corresponding to the simulations, and a very high precision
beam steering capability.
Imasonic's wide range of materials allow us to
manufacture phased array probes in a frequency range from 300 KHz to 18
MHz, while maintaining all other performances of this technology.
Combined with our 8 years experience in Piezocomposite Industrial phased array
probes, these performances are available for a wide range of configurations
Several options can be combined with these
different configurations
- Mechanical focusing of the active area :
cylindrical, spherical or aspherical
- Assembly with integrated or removable wedge
- Integration of electrical impedance matching
or electronic components (multiplexors, preamplifiers, ...)
- Housing adapted to fit the probe holder
- Adaptation to environmental conditions
(temperature, pressure, nuclear radiation...)
Imasonic phased array probes can be adapted to all
phased array electronic systems on the market.
