SONO-PR 200
Pulser-Receiver for Ultrasonic Testing
Thanks to its extremely wide frequency range up to 200 MHz, the SONO-PR 200 ultrasonic pulser-receiver covers various areas of application: from Ultrasonic Testing on the widest range of materials including wall thickness measurement to immersion technology and squirter applications through to acoustic microscopy. The possibility of remote control via serial interface, various trigger options as well as digital inputs and outputs make the SONO-PR 200 ideal for integration into automated testing facilities. The pulser receiver replaces reliably 5800PR, 5900PR, 5910PR.
Ultrasonic Probes
SONO-AMP Pre-amplifier optionally available
By adding the SONO-AMP pre-amplifier, a gain of max. 74 dB can be achieved. In combination with the SONO-AMP, the system achieves an extremely low inherent noise of < 1 nV/√Hz. Tests can also be realized under challenging conditions.
Applications
Versatile Testing Options: Spike and Combi Variant
The SONO-PR 200 is available in two variants, depending on the testing requirements: Spike or Combi.
Spike variant
The Spike variant has a powerful broadband spike pulser. The minimum rise time of less than 1 ns allows optimal excitation of high frequency ultrasonic probes. The Spike version is ideally suited for applications that require a very high bandwidth.
Combi variant
The Combi variant is an extended variant of the SONO-PR 200. It provides a powerful combination of the spike and square wave pulser. The square wave pulser offers an additional advantage in the low frequency range from 500 kHz to 8 MHz, which allows this version to cover both low and high ultrasonic frequencies.
Advantages at a glance
Numerous high-pass and low-pass filters
The individually configurable high-pass and low-pass filters enable specific adjustment to the application in order to achieve a max. signal-to-noise ratio.
Very high frequency
The SONO-PR 200’s receiver offers a large bandwidth of 100 kHz to 200 MHz, allowing the device to cover a significant amount of important stand-alone or integrated applications.
Powerful spike pulser
The minimal rise times of < 1 ns enable optimum excitation of high-frequency transducers. Furthermore, the variety of adjustable energy levels enables the widest range of designs of utrasonic transducers to be actuated.
Extremely low noise
The device offers exceptionally low noise and in addition allows the user to choose high and low pass filters to achieve a maximum signal-to-noise ratio.
Digital inputs and outputs
The SONO-PR 200 is designed to be integrated easily. It has a simple digital menu and multiple I/Os.
Remote control via serial interface
Optional: fixed gain can be achieved
SONO-AMP pre-amplifier
By adding the SONO-AMP pre-amplifier, a gain of max. 74 dB can be achieved. In combination with the SONO-AMP, the system achieves an extremely low inherent noise of < 1 nV/√Hz. Thanks to a low noise level and high bandwidth, tests can also be realized under challenging conditions.
