Atec Olympus-45MG - Manual (Page 9)

Measure metal thinning caused by bending or forming. Measure thin plastic material using a 20 Mhz delay line transducer.
Measure thin glass with a V260-SM Sonopen ® transducer. Measure the thickness of many materials including plastic, metal, rubber, glass,
ceramic, and composites.
application Setup recall
Application Setup Recall simplifies making thickness
measurements. Select any of the stored transducers and
the 45MG gage recalls all relevant internal transducer
parameters.
Stored Standard Setups
The 45MG includes 21 standard single element transducer
setups for the most common applications. These default
transducer setup can be used on wide variety of thickness
applications.
Stored Custom Setups
The 45MG can store up to 35 custom single element trans-
ducer setups including calibration information. You can con-
nect the appropriate transducer and recall the setup file and
the instrument is ready to make thickness measurements on
even the most difficult applications.
Material Sound Velocity
Measurements
The 45MG has the capability to make material sound veloc-
ity measurements. This standard feature is useful in applica-
tions where the speed of sound within the material can be
correlated to other properties. Typical applications include
cast metals to monitor the degree of nodularity, and com-
posites/fiberglass to monitor variations in density.
reduction rate Measurements
Differential Mode and Reduction Rate Mode are standard
features on the 45MG. Differential Mode shows the thick-
ness variation from a pre-set thickness value. Reduction
Rate calculates and displays the percent of thickness reduc-
tion after a material thinning process. A typical application is
automotive sheet steel that is bent and formed to make car
body panels.
