Upgrading Ultrasonic Measurement Features for CMM Machines

The RUP1 (Ultrasonic Probe) module is one of the most unique accessories of the Renishaw REVO 5-axis system. It allows the CMM to perform material thickness measurements using ultrasonic waves. With the Renishaw REVO 5-axis RUP1, you can measure the thickness of walls without needing to approach from both sides. This is an extremely useful solution for the aerospace industry, where the Renishaw REVO 5-axis is used to inspect hollow turbine blades.

UNIQUE THICKNESS MEASUREMENT MECHANISM OF THE RENISHAW RUP1 ULTRASONIC PROBE

The RUP1 probe on the Renishaw REVO 5-axis uses a soft elastomer bulb to create dry contact with the workpiece surface. The Renishaw REVO 5-axis system emits ultrasonic waves through this buffer into the material. The response time of the wave is calculated by the Renishaw REVO 5-axis to provide the most accurate thickness value. The measurement process of the Renishaw REVO 5-axis RUP1 is fully automatic and pre-programmed. The ultrasonic measurement error on the Renishaw REVO 5-axis is much lower than that of handheld devices.

The RUP1 ultrasonic probe enhances the multi-sensor capabilities of the REVO® system, enabling ultrasonic thickness testing.

Unlike many other ultrasonic systems, the RUP1 does not require a water bath or conductive gel for good signal transmission. Instead, it uses an innovative elastomer spherical probe to create excellent contact between the probe and the material. As a result, the RUP1 probe eliminates the need for skilled operators to interpret oscilloscope displays and frees up workshop space occupied by dedicated immersion tanks.

Using ultrasound to measure the thickness of one side of a part also offers clear advantages over traditional contact probing techniques for parts with hard-to-reach internal features.

RUP1 is fully integrated into the MODUS™ (version 1.12) and UCCsuite (version 5.8) measurement software.

Spherical elastomer probe for RUP1

Aircraft landing gear components, generator drive shafts, and hollow propellers in the aerospace industry are just a few of the components that will significantly benefit from the use of the RUP1 system.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE RUP1 ULTRASONIC PROBE

• The RUP1 ultrasonic transducer is fully compatible with the MRS2 interchangeable mount and automatically replaces all other existing transducers for the REVO system.
• The RUP1 transducer uses a 20 MHz transducer and provides a thickness measurement range from 1 mm to 20 mm with accuracy better than 25 microns using contact points.
• The use of an innovative elastic ball tip provides excellent contact between the transducer and the material, while eliminating the need for a water bath or contact gel for good signal transmission.
• Eliminating the need for a skilled operator to interpret the oscilloscope display reduces costs.

The RUP1 ultrasonic transducer is fully integrated into the MODUS and UCCsuite measurement software, including features such as:

• geometric and material calibration
• ball tip size monitoring and compensation
• automatic calculation of REVO tip position based on rear wall angle for non-parallel surfaces
• transducer life monitoring

Currently, the RUP1 is available in two lengths - 175 mm and 300 mm (measured from the center of the REVO-2 tip axis). A standalone signal viewing software is also available to provide professionals with a visual overview of the measurements.
