SONIA FAMILY
SONIA is a new electronic system for non-destructive testing (NDT) applications using ultrasonic (UT) techniques.
The architecture of SONIA is innovative inasmuch as it has been designed to acquire ultrasonic signals in the proximity of the sensors and transmit them to the acquisition computer using digital fibre-optic links. This allows the length of the analogue lines to be reduced to a minimum, thus increasing the signal/noise ratio of the signals and simplifying the integration of the data acquisition system in large machines, such as those used in the aeronautical sector, for example.
The SONIA system can be managed from InspectView software package supplied by Tecnatom or can be integrated into the customer UT SW application via a set of libraries (SONIA DRIVER) that allows low-level control and configuration of the electronic modules.
Two different product lines could be found in SONIA:
An advanced ultrasonic system
SONIA can be supplied in modular form, thus giving the possibility to adapt the ultrasonic data acquisition equipment to the final inspection system and meet the requirements of that system in the most accurate, reliable and inexpensive possible way.
Based on SONIA modular architecture, you may have a compact and robust equipment suitable for applications where it is necessary to move and carry the ultrasonic data acquisition equipment near to the parts to be inspected, as normally occurs in the nuclear sector and certain industrial applications.
