Measure Wall Thickness for Cut Lengths of Tubing Ultrasonically
The BenchLinc UT system uses LaserLinc’s UltraGauge™ ultrasonic wall thickness measurement technology to inspect cut lengths of tubing. It provides accurate, continuous non-contact measurements over the full length of the sample, unlike other measurement methods, which are limited to inspecting the ends of the tubing.
Offline Inspection Plays a Crucial Role in Catching Dimensional Issues
The BenchLinc UT records key measurements including:
In critical medical applications such as vascular stents or catheter tubing, a thin spot in the wall can lead to product failure after implementation. This is a risk that tube manufacturers cannot afford to take. The BenchLinc UT allows for full-length inspection, identifying out-of-spec products before they are shipped. For quality engineers in regulated industries, this not only enhances product safety but also helps ensure compliance with FDA and international standards.
Outside Diameter (OD) & Inside Diameter (ID)
Measures internally and externally.
Wall Thickness
Can measure wall thickness as thin as 0.003” (75 μm).
Ovality
Optional laser micrometer provides ovality measurement.
Concentricity
Ensures inner and outer diameter share a common central axis.
Features Include:
- Accurate wall and concentricity results due to a unique LaserLinc ultrasonic sensor assembly for discrete samples.
- Measures down to 0.003” [75 μm] wall thickness of metals, such as nitinol, stainless steel, cobalt chromium, and other speciality alloys.
- Easy to use, integrated, package requiring no additional engineering
- An optional laser micrometre provides outer and inner diameter and ovality measurement
