OptimAE
Acoustic Emission Sensing System
Fiber optic acoustic sensing technology deployable in the most challenging conditions. Acoustic Emission (AE) measurements for conditions, ranging from extreme temperatures, high voltages, and radiation, to explosive hazardous areas.
Overview
OptimAE – a game changing AE measuring system
Acoustic emission (AE) is a well-established technique in the fields of non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM). The intrinsic limitations of electrical transducers have limited its fields of application in many industries.
By overcoming the constraints of existing classic electric systems, OptimAE opens new measurement scenarios in extreme conditions and extends the benefits of acoustic emission to new industries.
Equipment
OptimAE interrogator
The OptimAE interrogator is a modular readout that allows the capture of the most prominent acoustic emission features and gets the best out of the 6300 series AE sensors.
6300 series sensors
The 6300 series sensors are designed to deal with the most challenging environments, for example extreme temperatures, high voltage zones, radiation (EMI) and explosive hazardous areas (ATEX zones).
OptimAE software
The OptimAE software package integrates all the features an AE user could desire in an intuitive and user-friendly environment.
Benefits
OptimAE – a game changing AE measuring system
