Growing defects, such as crack initiation, crack growth, fiber breakage,
debonding of surfaces as well as other mechanisms produce AE (Acoustic
Emission, 100-300 kHz). In brittle material even microscopic cracks can be detected. The new AE-Signal Conditioner ASCO-P lets you now
monitor the growth of defects - as it happens - at very low costs.

...detects Defect Growth - as it happens.

What the ASCO-P delivers:
ASCO-P outputs a slowly changing APK-signal (APK: Acoustic Peak Energy)
which represents short (µs-time scale), high frequency
AE-bursts in the amplitude range 30µV to 200mV (30 to 106dBAE).
The APK signal can be recorded in combination with other testing
parameters like stress, strain, bending, temperature, etc.. A low-speed
low-cost data acquisition recorder is sufficient. Recommended
recorder specifications are: 50 Hz sampling rate, 0-5VDC measurement range,
10 bit resolution. You don't need any special software: The APK-signal
versus time, in combination with the other testing parameters, shows precisely,
when the damage in the test specimen grows.
Additionally, a digital event output allows for external event counting
/ triggering. By internal plug-in filter modules, the ASCO-P can be
adapted to the frequency range 20-100kHz, 100-300kHz, or 300-800kHz. For
applications which require deeper analysis, we recommend
our high-end AE-analysis system model AMSY-5 or AMSY4.
Low Cost:
The ASCO-P including piezoelectric AE-Sensor
(VS150-M) and power supply represents a unique price-value ratio.
Stepping into AE-technology has never been easier and better priced. Don't
lose valuable AE information! ASCO-P makes AE
monitoring easy and affordable.
With ASCO-P: use existing measurement devices more
efficiently!
Up-to-now:
Channel 1: e.g. Force
Channel 2: e.g. Displacement/Strain
Channel 3: free
From now (with ASCO-P):
Channel 1: e.g. Force
Channel 2: e.g. Displacement/Strain
->Channel 3: APK-signal (AE-Peak-Energy)
AE-equipment from the technology leader:
We develop and offer top-of-the-line hardware and software for AE-specialists
since over 10 years. The ASCO-P is our lowest cost AE-instrument designed
for, e.g., crack monitoring during the scratch test, tensile test, bending
test, etc.. Our AMSY-5 / AMSY4 is a high-end AE-system designed for more demanding
applications. AMSY series systems are in use in many configurations from one to 108 AE-channels
in Europe, America and Asia.
