Ultra - Model RTS18-B -Portable Dual-Rail Ultrasonic Flaw Detector
The RTS18-B Portable Dual-Rail Ultrasonic Flaw Detector is a specialized device designed for detecting defects and cracks in rail tracks. It utilizes a dual-mode ultrasonic system with both A-scan and B-scan functionalities to provide accurate and comprehensive defect detection on the rail head, waist, and bottom. The system is based on an encoder-driven scanning mechanism, generating a pulse every 3mm to ensure real-time data acquisition from the left and right rails through a wheel-designed probe. Each probe is equipped with nine channels, totaling 18 channels for dual-rail inspection, ensuring thorough detection without probe loss even during high-speed operations. It features a Linux-based user interface, a dust-proof and water-proof design suitable for harsh outdoor environments, and various technical specifications including a 500MHz main processor, 4-5MHz frequency range, and a detection speed of up to 5km/hour. With a 14.4V lithium battery providing up to 9 hours of operation, the system can record data over extensive ranges, making it highly reliable and efficient for railway flaw detection.RTS18-B portable dual rail ultrasonic flaw detector can detect various defects and cracks on the rail head, waist and rail bottom during the travelling of the flaw detection trolley. The system has two modes: A-scan and B-scan. B-scan is the scanning mode used in actual detection driven by encoder to continuously collect and record corresponding information. The encoder generates a pulse every 3mm, and the flaw detection trolley collects the probe signals on the left and right rails in real time according to the pulse signal.
The probe adopts wheel design, each probe is equipped with 9 channels, and each rail uses one probe for acquisition. There are 18 channels in total for the dual rail, which ensures that the flaw detection system can comprehensively and reliably detect the rail and avoid the loss of the probe caused by high-speed movement.
- Highlight A/B scan LCD interface
