Like its predecessors in the C-SAM line, it is designed for analytical work on small numbers of samples, although it can also screen modest quantities of components. Among its differentiating features:
- 50 % higher screening throughput from faster transducer motors.
- Scan area significantly enlarged, so more parts can be scanned at one time.
- Upward and downward range of Z movement of the transducer more than doubled to enable scanning of samples having a greater range of height variation.
- Windows 10 operating system and Sonolytics 2 user interface have replaced Windows 7 and Sonolytics, respectively.
- Intel’s i7 seventh generation chips make the system’s computer hardware 33 % faster, giving, for example, quicker delivery of Digital Image Analysis.
- Both monitors have high resolution 4K screens to reveal more detail.
- Includes Waterplume technology, so a separate C-SAM tool is not needed to image IGBT modules.
Users will notice that frequently used menu items now appear in the user interface, eliminating the need to open a menu. Other changes include easy access to the current timing mode in the A-Scan and the ability to go to a TOF directly from the movement interface.
