As the successor of the USIP 40 multi-channel flaw detector, the newly available Krautkrämer USIP|xs CV solves a growing need for easy, cost-effective integration. The improved multi-instrument architecture helps to optimize automation capabilities and provides more interfaces and flexibility. The USIP|xs CV can be integrated into any automated and semi-automated inspection system. With different T/R specifications and multitude of channel configurations, the instrument is scalable in performance as well as associated cost. As a result, it is well suited for a wide range of applications and system sized, such as Quality Assurance, Press Control and R&D.

Benefits of the Krautkrämer USIP|xs CV
The plug-and-play instrument applies the latest usability standards and is equipped with a vast array of integrated diagnostic features. This allows a quick start-up and operation without excessive training of staff and learning efforts. The integrated box design of the USIP|xs CV makes the instrument extremely easy to maintain in comparison to slot card type electronics.
Industry-leading automation and integration capabilities allow for even the most complex systems to be built with less effort. Multiple interface standards – including field bus – make USIP|xs CV one of the best equipped instruments for effective integration into automated systems.
As one of the largest platforms of conventional ultrasonic instruments, the new Krautkrämer instrument offers UT performance and channel count perfectly fitted to individual inspection needs. In contrast to a “one-size-fits-all” solution, the USIP|xs CV creates synergies concerning technical infrastructure, instrument cost, and training and integration know-how, reducing the overall complexity of setting up and maintaining inspection systems.

Create your own, customized Graphical User Interface (GUI) or integrate your GUI into another HMI environment. The instrument can be operated via the standard GUI and the customized GUI in parallel. All parameter changes are synchronized online through the SDK software.
Access all inspection raw data through the SDK:
- 收集数据(振幅、飞行时间、登机口events) for further processing in a customized inspection data display, evaluation, or recording
- Record digital Data-A-Scans in real time for a fully customized evaluation
Data A-Scan capabilities: Up to 4096 samples; configurable resolution per channel to reduce data size. Content per sample:
- 1x amplitude value (rectified amplitudes), resp. 2x (RF amplitudes)
- Encoder data x, y position (optional)
- Gate data: amplitude, time of flight (optional)
- Configurable amplitude resolution 16 bit or 24 bit (global parameter)
For eased communication within a system, the SDK unlocks additional digital I/O interfacing capabilities that can be used via the SDK-API, e.g., for PLC handshake, Inspection start/stop, Ready for testing, etc.:
- OUT: 3x via D-Sub, 12x via bus gateway; IN: 7x via D-Sub, 16x via bus gateway
