• Advanced Design Increases Application Range.... The 5000's specially designed pulser-receiver section covers applications ranging from those requiring delicate high resolution to those demanding hefty penetrating power and high sensitivity. The broadband dual-trace scope displays the ultrasonic A-trace and the various selectable gates needed to optimize the setup and assure the digital thickness response for a given application.
   
• In addition to it's adjustable noise-blocking IP and IF gates, a TAC-Gate (Thickness Amplitude Compensation) allows increases in signal-to-noise ratios for ultrasonically "difficult" materials.
   
• A host of other controls round out the features necessary to produce exceptional performance and versatility. And to extend its standard digital output interfacing ability, there's even a microprocessor based high speed binary (rep rate) and RS-232 output.
   
• More than Just a Thickness Gage.... The NovaScope 5000 is a sophisticated thickness gaging and monitoring system integrated into a single tabletop instrument. it's advanced design is specifically intended for those complex, difficult or ultra-critical applications that require special ultrasonic capabilities. It can reliably handle contact spot gaging on difficult, complex shapes, and with the flip of a switch, the 5000 becomes a sophisticated process line instrument for non-contact automated thickness monitoring.
  
  Stationary or In-Motor Inspection....
  Many products with simple to complex shapes can be gaged with small hand held transducers (contact or delay line types). For gaging on particularly sharp contours or in very small spots, effective results can be obtained using a bubbler and immersion transducer with a sharp-focused ultrasonic beam. The product can be presented in a continuous manner (e.g. a web);discrete lengths (e.g. pipe); or as rapidly indexed small parts (e.g., bottles and forgings).
  
  Various Digital and analog outputs of thickness data and alarms are available on the side panel to interface with the controllers, loggers or computers. Such system setups permit automatic thickness monitoring and, in certain situations, process feedback control.
