Pitch-Catch Probe Applications
S-PC-P14
Order number: 9329345 (U8800601)
Specifications
Operation mode: Pitch-Catch
Frequency: Broadband
Tips: Spacing 14 mm (0.55 in.)
Ergonomic design
General-purpose, broadband pitch-catch probe with
ergonomic design featuring 4 feet and probe tips at the edge of the probe.
Allows easy scanning of any flat or large radius curved surface. The tips
placed at the probe's edge allow for stable edge testing of parts. This is the
preferred probe model used on most composite honeycomb inspections.
S-PC-P16
Order number: 9323952 (U8010062)
Specifications
Operation mode: Pitch-Catch
Frequency: Broadband
Tips: Spacing 14 mm (0.55 in.)
Broadband pitch-catch probe with ergonomic design feature
probes inside the 4 feet for easy inspection over tighter part radii such as
wing leading edges. Although intended for tighter radii, this probe will
perform well on flatter composite homecomb structures.
SPO-5629-PHV
Order number: 9322184 (U8010039)
Specifications
Operation mode: Pitch-catch
Frequency: Broadband, high voltage
Tips: Spacing 12.7 mm (0.5 in.), spring-loaded
tips
Broadband pitch-catch probe with smaller footprint and
elongated body, meant to be used in tighter access areas. This probe generally
shows slighty more sensitivity to smaller defects than the S-PC-P14 or S-PC-P16
models, due to its closer tips. Although not as stable as the S-PC-P14 or
S-PC-P16 on flat surfaces, the use of the SPO-5629-PHV in the friction holder
SPO-5626-H-R1 can simplify the inspection of honeycomb composites.
SPO-5629-H-R1
Order number: SPO-5629-H-R1 (U8780312)
Designed for use with SPO-5629PHV probe. Enhances
stability while keeping the probe perpendicular to the inspection surface, and
adding the ability to have stand-off from the surface of the test part to alter
the tension of the active tips to the test surface.
