QUEBEC-R/D Tech recently released its Ultrasound Phased-Array Transducer Catalog (2004-2005 edition) for the nondestructive testing market.
Phased array technology allows the generation of an ultrasonic beam with the possibility of setting the beam parameters such as angle, focal distance and focal point size through software. The beam can be multiplexed over a large array, allowing the replacement of multiple transducers or even mechanical components. For more information, visit R/D Tech's website at www.rd-tech.com.
