RAM5000 Computer Controlled Ultrasonic System

The RITEC RAM5000 Computer Controlled Ultrasonic System, distributed by Sonemat on behalf of RITEC Inc., offers an advanced solution for ultrasonic testing and material evaluation. Known for its modular design, the RAM5000 enables users to select from various configurations or “Marks,” each tailored to specific testing needs and budgets. The system provides high-power RF tonebursts, achieving up to 5 kW power output for frequencies up to 7 MHz, making it suitable for driving low-efficiency transducers and testing highly attenuative materials. With configurations ranging from simple pulser/receiver systems to complete superheterodyne phase-sensitive measurement systems, the RAM5000 can adapt to nearly any ultrasonic testing environment. Its digital control and phase-sensitive signal processing capabilities allow for precise, reproducible measurements, making it valuable for industries like aerospace, automotive, energy, and scientific research.

Key Advantages and Features:

• • Modular, Configurable System: Choose from multiple configurations (Marks I to VI) to match your testing needs, from basic toneburst pulsers to comprehensive phase-sensitive superheterodyne systems.
  • High-Power Toneburst Output: Capable of producing RF tonebursts up to 5 kW, ensuring clear signal detection even in challenging materials.
  • Phase-Sensitive Detection: Provides precise amplitude and phase measurements, allowing users to achieve exceptional accuracy in ultrasonic testing.
  • Superior Signal Processing: Equipped with superheterodyne receivers for noise rejection and high-resolution timing for accurate transit time measurements.
  • Distributed by Sonemat for Local Support: With Sonemat’s expertise and customer support, integration and maintenance are straightforward, ensuring maximum performance.

Configurations (Marks):

• • Mark I: Basic configuration with high-power gated amplifier and power frame; requires an external RF source.
  • Mark II: Adds timing functionality, allowing coherent gating of RF signal for more controlled pulse generation.
  • Mark III: Fully computer-controlled toneburst pulser with an integrated synthesizer.
  • Mark IV: Includes a broadband receiver module for enhanced signal detection in addition to toneburst generation.
  • Mark V: Adds superheterodyne mixer and phase-sensitive detectors, enabling digitized phase detection for detailed analysis.
  • Mark VI: Complete superheterodyne phase-sensitive measurement system with all six elements, offering full amplitude and phase measurement capabilities.

Applications:

• • Flaw detection in metals, composites, and high-density materials
  • Material characterization for research and industrial quality control
  • Acoustic property analysis and time-of-flight measurements
  • Ultrasonic testing in high-precision industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy
