New multichannel ultrasonic thickness gauge

Broadsens just released the second generation of high resolution multichannel ultrasonic thickness gauge UT200S. The newly improved UT200S supports both echo-echo mode and first-echo mode thickness measurement with a resolution of 0.001mm. It has the ability of automatically adjust gains for each channels. The scan speed is also improved compared to the previous version.

UT200S is  ideal for robotic thickness measurement, or online thickness measurement.

The connectors of UT200S are changed into LEMO 00 connectors from SMB connectors. This makes UT200S support most general ultrasonic thickness probes on the market.

The following are the main specs of UT200S:
• Excitation frequency: 5MHz
• Ultrasonic wave speed: 1,000-9,999m/s
• Measurement range: 2mm - 100mm typical (expandable)
• Resolution: 0.001 mm
• Measurement mode: first-echo; echo-echo (2 or 3 echoes auto-select)
• Real-time waveform display function on remote Windows computer
• 32GB data storage microSD card
• 10/100 Ethernet connection
• Power supply: Isolated power supply module for high performance.
• Size: 122 x 106 x 29 mm
Please contact Broadsens for questions or sales.

Wireless Gateway GU200 with Node-RED

Broadsens released GU200 wireless gateway powered by data visualization software Node-RED. Node-RED provides a browser-based flow editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette. Flows can be then deployed to the runtime in a single-click. This makes GU200 extremely flexible and easy to upgrade. It also makes GU200 easy to customize and expand its functions. GU200 series gateway uses Raspberry Pi 3B+ and 4 as the internal controller board, which make them very powerful to process wireless sensor data. Analysis tool including power spectrum is embedded inside GU200 for quick diagnosis of machine condition. Multiple wireless temperature sensors SVT100 can be divided into different zones (groups) by GU200. Each group can monitor one machine (equipment). The sensors in the same group can be synchronized for machine balance analysis. GU200 also has integrated time-series database InfluxDB, InfluxDB is specifically designed for IOT applications. The basic wireless condition monitoring system from Broadsens includes one wireless gateway and three SVT100-A wireless vibration sensors. The standard wireless condition monitoring system includes one wireless gateway, nine SVT100-A sensors plus four SVT100-T wireless temperature sensors. Please contact Broadsens for data sheets and details.

Ultrasonic Scanner BroadScan D200 is released

BroadScan D200 is released in worldwide market. BroadScan D200 is a combined device of lamb wave generator, piezoelectric power amplifier, high speed data acquisition and network based control software. Although its size is small, it has lots of functions. The ultrasound based structural health monitoring is so easy now thanks to BroadScan D200‘s quick connection and release connector. A single or multiple piezoelectric sensors can be connected to D200 in a matter of seconds. With Broadsens’ compact piezoelectric sensors, one can set up a structural health monitoring system in a few minutes. BroadScan D200 is easy to use thanks to its web interface. Multiple D200s can be connected via Ethernet to form a distributed structural health monitoring system. It has the same digital sensor interface as the BroadScan D100 and BroadScan D110C, so that one can add vibration sensors, strain gauge, temperature, distance or other sensors to the whole system. For detailed technical specifications, please check out the BroadScan D200 introduction page.

BroadScan D200 has the best value on the market. It is very affordable with many features. Please contact Broadsens for a quote.

World’s first Train Coupler Online Monitoring System by Broadsens

Broadsens installed world’s first online train coupler monitoring system in a freight train in 2019. The system was designed to monitor the status of the train coupler. A train coupler is an important component in the train, which connects cars in between and bears heavy strain when the train is in operation. The online train coupler monitoring system consists of data acquisition device BroadScan D110C, Wireless Gateway GU100, compact piezoelectric ultrasound sensors BHU100, BHU200 and BHU500 made by Broadsens. The piezoelectric ultrasound sensors monitor cracks, corrosion and erosion on the train coupler and draft gear. The working environment is very harsh with lots of dusts, shocks, vibrations and rain.

After months of usage, the system is still working strong, as shown in the following picture.

The system also consists of strain gauges, temperature sensor, distance sensor and vibration sensor to monitor the status of draft gear. The draft gear is another important part, which absorbs vibration and reduces the impact between train cars. The train draft gear is hidden behind the coupler, so that even when it is obsolete, it is hard to tell. Broadsens’s online train monitoring system will tell if the draft gear is in healthy condition or obsolete for the first time.
