The acoustic wheel’s liquid chamber is properly filled when the RollerFORM is sitting on a flat surface without any downward pressure applied on the handle and a gap measuring 2 mm to 3 mm (0.08 in.

  • Page 53: Removing Air Bubbles From The Liquid Chamber

    RollerFORM’s acoustic wheel is equipped with a trap that conceals bubbles. The bubble trap is located in the flange on the probe-cable side. When scanning a surface with the RollerFORM held upside down, it is mandatory to remove all air bubbles from the liquid chamber. Any free bubbles will gather together...
  • Page 54 If left in place, these bubbles may interfere with the propagation of ultrasound waves. Turn the RollerFORM probe-cable side up, so that the acoustic wheel is at an angle, and the OUT valve is at the highest possible position, and then tap the acoustic wheel, so the bubbles disappear from view in the translucent part of the acoustic wheel.

  • Page 55: Preparing For An Inspection

    Before performing an inspection, the RollerFORM and the surface to inspect must both be properly prepared. To prepare for an inspection Apply water couplant to the RollerFORM’s acoustic wheel and to the surface to inspect. For more information, see “Applying Couplant to the Acoustic Wheel and the Surface to Inspect”...

  • Page 56: Optimizing The Phased Array Signal

    Roll the RollerFORM back and forth a few times to uniformly wet the acoustic wheel. Optimizing the Phased Array Signal To optimize the phased array signal, you need to adjust the angle of the RollerFORM’s probe relatively to the surface to inspect. To optimize the phased array signal Apply water couplant to the surface to be used for signal optimization and to the acoustic wheel of the RollerFORM.

  • Page 57: Figure 4-1 Adjusting The Probe Angle To Optimize The Signal

    DMTA-20073-01EN, Rev. C, November 2015 Figure 4-1 Adjusting the probe angle to optimize the signal To rotate the probe-axle, always use the dedicated angle adjustment knob and never use the probe cable. Using the probe cable could lead in probe cable damage. Moving the knob up and down, adjust the angle of the probe so that the signal appearing on the instrument’s display is at its peak value.

    4.3.3 Adjusting the Middle Wheel for Convex Surface Axial Scans When adjusting the RollerFORM’s middle wheel for scanning on a convex surface (for an axial [longitudinal] scan), special care must be taken to ensure that both of the middle wheel’s rollers make contact with the surface to inspect.

  • Page 62: Figure 4-5 Unlocking The Middle Wheel

    DMTA-20073-01EN, Rev. C, November 2015 The RollerFORM’s middle wheel can also be adjusted specifically for narrow surfaces. Special care must be taken to ensure that both of the middle wheel’s rollers or the skid plate make contact with the surface to inspect.

  • Page 63: Figure 4-6 Keeping Both Rollers In Contact With A Convex Surface

    If the signal is lost while applying pressure, optimize the phased array signal by rotating the probe-axle (see “Optimizing the Phased Array Signal” on page 50). While maintaining appropriate pressure on the RollerFORM, turn the vertical adjustment knob counterclockwise until the middle wheel’s rollers come in contact with the surface.

  • Page 64: Figure 4-7 Keeping Both Rollers Or The Skid Plate In Contact With A Narrow Surface

    DMTA-20073-01EN, Rev. C, November 2015 When inspecting a narrow surface or the side of a part, both rollers or the skid plate of the middle wheel, and also the rear roller, must be in contact with the surface to inspect (see Figure 4-7 on page 58). Both rollers or skid plate of the middle wheel must be in contact with the narrow surface, and also the rear roller.

  • Page 65: Tracing The Scan Guide Lines On The Surface To Inspect

    These lines will be used as guides for the laser beam to enable you to move the RollerFORM along a straight path for each one-line scan pass. The index value, or the space between the lines, can be calculated so that the different one-line scans overlap or not.
