We started selling the new product “NAUT21-I” - combination model of air coupled / immersion ultrasonic test system for evaluation and analyzing of materials2015/02/17
Japan Probe Co, Ltd developed the new product “NAUT21-I” - combination model of air coupled / immersion ultrasonic test system for evaluation and analyzing of materials, and we start selling it on 23th February, 2015.
・Non contact Air coupled Ultrasonic Testing system and new needs
In conventional ultrasonic testing, Couplant (A medium that propagates ultrasonic waves) such as water and gel is used, so we have to get test objects wet.
For this issue, Japan Probe developed and started selling the Non contact Air coupled Ultrasonic Testing system “NAUT21” in 2009. This system is innovative because it is possible to conduct the ultrasonic testing without contact. It realized ultrasonic testing without contact and getting test object wet.
“NAUT21” is used in various testing/measurement/evaluation such as CFRP, LiB, friction material (brake pad), solar light panel, thin film and so on. *"NAUT21" Series
But testing image of “NAUT21” uses Transmission method, so measurement result you can get is only plane image (C-scope).
We were requested many times to manufacture the system that is possible to collect the cross section information of test object for evaluation and analyzing of materials.
In order to respond that needs from customers, we developed “NAUT21-I” and we start selling it. This system has two functions in one body.
This is the combination model of air coupled / immersion ultrasonic testing system for evaluation and analyzing of materials.
We will exhibit “NAUT21” at the BATTERY JAPAN 2015 - 6th Int'l Rechargeable Battery Expo. This Exhibition will be held February 25th to 27th in 2015, and venue is Tokyo Big Sight.
・Two functions in one body: system for evaluation and analyzing of materials “NAUT21-I”
“NAUT21-I” is the combination model of air coupled/immersion testing. It is possible to test/measure/evaluate/analysis by air coupled method and immersion method both.
Air coupled ultrasonic testing visualize inside of a test object as plane image (C-scope) in real time. Immersion ultrasonic testing uses reflection method, so it is possible to visualize a cross section image of depth direction.
And independently developed image processing program visualize inside of a test object as 3-D images instantly. You can adopt these functions to for evaluation and analyzing of materials, research and development, assurance of quality and credibility.

・Features of “NAUT21-I”
1 .High Performance evaluation and analyzing system for materials
It is possible to combine the air coupled method and immersion method both.
2. Compacted design
Two functions are integrated in one body.
3. Common operation
Operations of measurement and image processing is common, so it’s easy to use.
4. Enhanced system to visualize
In addition to a plane image (C-scope), it is possible to collect a cut section image and visualized as 3-D image instantly.
5. Support a broad band
You can choose frequency of ultrasonic waves from 50KHz～35MHz. It realizes the evaluation and analyzing that is suitable for the detection capability.
6. Realizing the collecting variable data
It is possible to change the testing pitch/scanning speed for purpose of testing.
7. Possible to save all waveform data
It is possible to save all ultrasonic waveform data. And it is possible to change an evaluation area after testing, so you can reevaluate the material.
・Example of defect test of a lithium ion battery by NAUT21-I
1. Detect defects by air coupled ultrasonic testing.
Test a lithium ion battery that large, medium and small foreign substances inside by air.
2. Diagnose the depth direction information of lithium ion battery by immersion ultrasonic testing.
Test a lithium ion battery that large, medium and small foreign substances inside by immersion ultrasonic testing, and visualize a test object as plane image (C-scope) and cut section image (B-scope) in real time. It is also possible to visualize inside of a test object as 3-D images instantly.
・Examples of application field
・Aerospace: main wings of airplane made of carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), solid fuel for a rocket
