The BondPro 4000T system is designed to electronically introduce vibratory sound waves into a test specimen and subsequently process the received sound signal so as to identify discontinuities in various structures and components, which are fabricated from many different materials combined into a variety of matrices. The system utilizes a unique amalgamation of known electronic/computer commercially available hardware and software in tandem with our specially designed probe for the generation and subsequent display of the received signal. The specially designed probe is able to achieve a significantly higher level of sensitivity not currently available in the industry today. The hardware arrangement and software configuration of the instrument and probe are indigenous to and proprietary to All Wave Innovations, Inc. design specifications.
The BondPro 4000T system will operate on the theory of recognizing the inherent resonant frequency of the matrix of materials being examined and presenting an image on an electronic display. The image is representative of the physical condition of the test specimen undergoing examination. The user then extrapolates the information for a determination of the integrity of the material being tested, as compared to a known acceptable standard of the same material and matrix.
THE BONDPRO 4000T FLAW DETECTORS WILL BE THE FIRST FLAW DETECTION INSTRUMENTS THAT UTILIZE RESONANT LOW VOLTAGE OPERATION TO DRIVE THE COMPOSITE PROBE ELEMENTS (10 VOLTS). THIS IS MADE POSSIBLE WITH ALL ELEMENTS OF THE CIRCUITRY, CABLE AND PROBES TO BE IN RESONANT HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER. 10 VOLT OPERATION IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED FOR EXCELLENT DETECTION RESULTS IN THE DEFAULT LPD (low probe drive) SETTING. A HIGHER VOLTAGE MODE, (HPD-High Probe Drive- 15Volts) IS USED FOR SINGLE AND DUAL ELEMENT ULTRASONIC PROBES WHEN REQUIRED TO PENETRATE THICKER AND DENSER COMPOSITE MATRICES. THE LOW VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS ALLOW FOR DECREASED PROBE TO SURFACE SCRUBBING NOISE AND INCREASED BATTERY LIFE. PRESENT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE INSTRUMENTS UTILIZE 100VDC TO 300VDC TO ACHIEVE ADEQUATE FLAW DETECTION AND PRODUCE UNWANTED SCRUBBING NOISE.
THE BONDPRO 4000T FLAW DETECTORS ARE CAPABLE OF FULL WIRELESS INTERNET AND BLUETOOTH OPERATION. THIS IS A FIRST IN CLASS CAPABILITY. THIS ALLOWS FOR FULL REMOTE SOFTWARE UPDATES FROM THE MANUFACTURER. DATA AND SCREEN SHOTS OF TESTS CAN BE UPLOADED TO A REMOTE LOCATION THROUGH AN INTERNET CONNECTION RIGHT FROM THE INSTRUMENT.
THE BONDPRO 4000T CONTAINS A FULL OPERATING SYSTEM SIMILAR TO WINDOWS. THIS ALLOWS THE USER TO UTILIZE A COMPLETE OFFICE SUITE TO WRITE REPORTS, SAVE SCREEN SHOTS, SEND AND RECEIVE EMAILS AND DOWNLOAD AND VIEW INSTRUCTION VIDEOS RELATING TO SPECIFIC JOB TASKS. THIS IS ANOTHER FIRST FOR THE INDUSTRY. THE USER ALSO HAS FULL ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. THE USER HAS ACCESS TO A USB PORT FOR USING THUMDRIVES AND OTHER STORAGE MEDIA TO DOWNLOAD OR UPLOAD DATA AND PROGRAMS. THE USER WILL HAVE ACCESS TO AN EXTERNAL HDMI PORT FOR CONNECTING TO LARGE DISPLAYS FOR PRESENTATIONS AND INSTRUCTION.
THE BONDPRO 4000T UTILIZES A MODULAR DESIGN CONCEPT WHICH ALLOWS THE USE OF OFF-THE-SHELF MODULES AND CUSTOM DESIGNED PROPRIETARY MODULES FOR EASY TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPLACEMENT WHEN A FAILURE OCCURS. THIS REDUCES THE TIME AND COST OF REPAIRS FOR THE CUSTOMER. (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS).
THE BONDPRO 4000T IS THE FIRST NDT INSTRUMENT TO BE BUILT INSIDE A COMPLETELY SELF CONTAINED CASE WHERE THE CASE IS THE INSTRUMENT ITSELF. THE CASE IS WATERTIGHT, DUSTPROOF, AIRTIGHT WITH A PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE AND CRUSH PROOF UNDER NORMAL DROPS AND HEAVY ITEMS FALLING ON IT. THE CASE CONTAINS THE BATTERY SYSTEM, INSTRUMENT CAGE, THE DISPLAY, THE PROBE, CABLE, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE. THE CASE IS LOCKABLE AND HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE MILITARY AND AIRCRAFT COMPANIES FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT. THE ONLY EXTERNAL COMPONENTS ARE THE POWER/CHARGER PORT AND THE PROBE CONNECTOR. BOTH PROTECTED WITH DUST CAPS.
** FULL WIFI AND BLUETOOTH CAPABILITIES ALLOWS INTERNET CONNECTIONS TO SEND AND RECEIVE UPDATES, DOCUMENTS AND EMAIL.
** ADJUSTABLE PROBE DRIVE FREQUENCY- 10Khz TO 50Khz in
100HZ INCREMENTS. (WAVEFORM FREQUENCY HAS TOTAL ADJUSTMENT CAPABILITIES OF 1HZ TO 250KHZ BUILT IN). THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE PROVIDED BY ON SCREEN SOFTWARE SLIDER WHICH IS CAPABLE OF COURSE FREQUENCY SELECTION (1000 HZ) OR DEFAULT (100 HZ) INCREMENTS BUTTON SELECTABLE.
** SELECTABLE PROBE DRIVE PROBE DRIVE VOLTAGE. LOW PROBE DRIVE (LPD) OPERATION IS THE DEFAULT AT 12 VOLTS. HIGH PROBE DRIVE (HPD) IS INTERNALLY SET AT 24 VOLTS , AND SOFTWARE SELECTABLE.
** BURST WAVEFORMS ARE GENERATED BY A MICRO-CONTROLLER AND HAS ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY CONTROL BY THE ON-SCREEN SLIDER. THE PULSE RATE AND PULSE WIDTH ARE ALSO CONTROLLED BY AN ON-SCREEN SLIDER.
** ADJUSTABLE VERTICAL ATTENUATION FOR CONTROLLING AMPLITUDE OF THE RETURN SIGNAL
** HORIZONTAL SWEEP CONTROL FOR EXPANDING OR DECREASING THE SWEEP TIME.
** EXPANDABLE WAVEFORM FEATURES FOR PHASE SHIFT ANALYSIS ON PLOTTED FLAW RETURNS. SELECTABLE SPLIT SCREEN MODE FOR VIEWING AND ANALYZING PHASE SHIFTS OF RETURN SIGNALS.
** ADJUSTABLE RECEIVER GAIN FROM 0 TO 50 dB.
** SELECTABLE BETWEEN RF PLOT MODE, (DEFAULT). IMPULSE MODE AND POSITIVE MODE (WHICH PLOTS THE RETURN ON THE BASELINE AND ALLOWS FULL VERTICLE EXPANSION FOR DETAILED WAVEFORM ANALYSIS.
THE POSITIVE MODE ONLY PLOTS THE POSITIVE PORTION OF THE RETURN AND POSITIONS IT ON THE ZERO BASELINE. THE RF MODE POSITIONS THE RETURN PLOT ON THE 50% LINE AND ALLOWS BOTH NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE PORTIONS OF THE WAVEFORM TO BE VISIBLE AND ANAYLIZED. A SOFTWARE OFFSET ADJUSTMENT AUTOMATICALLY POSITIONS THE RF AND IMPULSE PLOT EXACTLY ON THE 50% HORIZONTAL LINE.
** SELECTABLE FILTER PROVIDING BANDPASS FILTER ON (DEFAULT) OR OFF AND FILTER SMOOTHING.

** INTERNAL TIME CLOCK FOR ACCURATE TIME STAMPING OF HOUR, DAY, MONTH, AND YEAR. AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS AND LEAP YEAR.
** FULL SCREEN CAPTURE OF FLAW INDICATION AND INCLUDES ALL PRESENT SETTINGS VISIBLE ON THE SCREEN LABELS. EACH SCREEN CAPTURE INCLUDES DATE AND TIME STAMP AND ALLOWS CUSTOM DATA TO BE ENTERED IN THE FILE NAME AND SAVES TO THE UNITS PICTURE FOLDER.
** SWITCHABLE FROM INSTRUMENT PROGRAM OPERATION TO LINUX OS SCREEN FOR FULL INTERNET ACCESS, MESSAGING AND MAIL. ALLOWS DIRECT ACCESS TO THE COMPANY FOR EASY DOWNLOADING OF ANY SOFTWARE UPGRADES. FULL WIFI AND BLUETOOTH CAPABILITIES. ALLOWS USE OF WIRELESS KEY BOARD AND MOUSE FOR CONVENIANT REPORT WRITEUPS WITH THE LINEX LIBRE OFFICE SUITE AVAILABLE IN OS MODE.
** AUDIBLE AND ON-SCREEN INDICATION OF DETECTED FLAWS. ALARM LIGHT INDICATION ON PROBES.
** AUDIO AND VIDEO APP FOR ALLOWING TEST AND INSTRUCTION VIDEOS TO BE VIEWED.
