OPTEL supplies standard and develops custom ultrasonic transducers for demanding industrial, NDT, laboratory and research applications. The portfolio includes phased array, immersion, contact, dual-element, air-coupled, high-temperature, high-pressure, PVDF and application-specific designs.
Ultrasonic transducers convert electrical excitation into acoustic energy and the returning acoustic signal back into an electrical signal. OPTEL offers a broad family of probes and transducers for flaw detection, thickness gauging, material-property measurements, medical diagnostics, power-generation applications, oil and gas, and other ultrasonic measurement tasks.
Hundreds of standard configurations are possible through combinations of transducer type, element diameter, frequency, connector style and cable arrangement. When a standard probe is not suitable, OPTEL can develop a custom or application-specific transducer for the measurement task.
OPTEL can adapt the transducer concept to the application instead of forcing the application to fit a catalogue probe. Tell us about the inspected material, measurement geometry, coupling method, operating conditions, electronics and integration constraints. We can start with a feasibility study and define a suitable transducer concept together with the rest of the ultrasonic system.
Discuss a custom transducerThe current OPTEL page documents several patents related to ultrasonic transducer construction, ultrasound-field scanning and generation of spherical ultrasonic waves:
The documented portfolio includes phased array probes, immersion, contact, delay-line, dual-element, angle-beam, high-temperature, high-pressure, composite, air-coupled, broadband, dry-coupled, PVDF, roller, high-frequency and application-specific transducers, as well as wedges and high-power transducers with sonotrodes.
