The All Wave BondPro 4000T/2000T are nondestructive testing inspection systems. They are designed to be used for the evaluation of the physical characteristics of both metallic and non-metallic materials utilizing sound. The instrument and probe system operates by introducing inaudible sound waves into a test specimen at a frequency range of 10 kHz to 50 kHz via our specially designed All Wave probe. The probe is held in direct contact with the material being evaluated whereby it transmits sound waves into the material and receives the resultant signal response for evaluation of the materials condition. The instrument was specifically designed to incorporate a simplified control layout which is ultimately more user friendly to the operating technician than existing comparable systems.

The BondPro 4000T/2000T systems are 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/2000T systems 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.

GENERAL CONCEPT OF THE BONDPRO 4000T/2000T NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING INSPECTION SYSTEM

GENERAL CONCEPT OF THE BONDPRO 4000T/2000T NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING INSPECTION SYSTEMS

THE BONDPRO 4000T/2000T 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/2000T 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/2000T 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/2000T 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/2000T 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.

OPERATING FEATURES OF UNIT TO DATE

** 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 RAPID FREQUENCY SELECTION OR SINGLE 100 HZ INCREMENTS

** SELECTABLE PROBE DRIVE,(PD), VOLTAGE. LOW PD OPERATION IS THE DEFAULT AT 10 VOLTS. MID PD IS BATTERY VOLTAGE,(14.5 TO 16.5 VOLTS), AND PASSED THROUGH A VOLTAGE/CURRENT MAGNIFYING TRANSFORMER CIRCUIT. HIGH PD IS A SELECTED BOOST VOLTAGE UP TO 30 VOLTS AND ALSO PASSED THROUGH A V/C MAGNIFYING TRANSFORMER.

** BURST WAVEFORMS ARE SELECTABLE BETWEEN SINEWAVE, SQUAREWAVE AND TRIANGLE WITH SQUAREWAVE AS DEFAULT.

** PULSE WIDTH IS GENERATED BY THE RPI AND IS ADJUSTABLE IN WIDTH AND REPETITION.

** HAS ADJUSTABLE VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL, SWEEP AND AMPLITUDE CONTROLS OF THE PLOTTED SIGNAL RETURN.

** EXPANDABLE WAVEFORM FEATURES FOR PHASE SHIFT ANALYSIS ON PLOTTED FLAW RETURNS.
