Hydrophone Scanning System
The CTS Scanner enables hydrophone mapping to be done automatically, using the HCT hydrophone. The scanner is customized to mount to substrate carriers, eliminating the need for positioning alignment. Because the shaft diameter of the HCT hydrophone is only ~3 mm, 2D acoustic plots can be acquired in “loaded” configurations to simulate actual conditions in the cleaning process (e.g., ...
