Texture Measurement System TE100
The TE100 Texture Measurement System is an advanced, non-destructive solution for rapid crystallographic texture analysis in metal sheets. Using EMAT-based ultrasound technology, this compact system provides precise orientation distribution measurements in seconds, eliminating the need for sample removal. Equipped with “Texture Scan and Analyse” software, the TE100 enables fully automated, high-accuracy texture assessments for applications in quality control, research, and industrial production.
The Sonemat TE100 Texture Measurement System is a groundbreaking tool for quick, non-contact texture measurement in metal sheets, delivering a compact, cost-effective alternative to traditional X-ray and EBSD techniques. This EMAT-based system uses Lamb waves to measure the anisotropy of metal surfaces, providing detailed crystallographic texture information in less than 30 seconds without altering or destructively sampling the material.
Key Advantages and Features:
- Rapid, Non-Destructive Texture Measurement: Unlike conventional methods, the TE100 requires no sample removal or surface preparation, capturing orientation distribution coefficients (ODCs) in seconds.
- Automated Precision: The system includes Sonemat’s “Texture Scan and Analyse” software, enabling automatic data collection, recording, and analysis for easy, consistent texture measurements.
- Compact and Portable: This lightweight, versatile system is designed for lab and industrial environments, making it an ideal choice for in-line quality checks and field applications.
- Comprehensive Kit: Each TE100 package includes an EMAT scanning head with 3 EMATs, a control box with pulser, amplifiers, ADC, and a dedicated laptop with pre-installed software, providing an out-of-the-box texture measurement solution.
Applications:
- Crystallographic texture analysis for quality control in sheet metal manufacturing
- In-line testing for material anisotropy in industrial production
- Rapid research and development assessments of material properties
- Non-destructive testing of metals for industries requiring high-quality metal sheet characterisation
