Title
Design and prototyping of a 3-D positioner for ultrasound quality control measurements
Abstract
We describe the development and build-up of a 3-D positioner for ultrasonic testing with single- and multi-element transducers, supporting a scan area of up to 300 × 300 mm. The machine is realized with a delta kinematic using many components from the consumer/maker area. It can be easily mounted onto a water basin, containing the test object to be scanned. Software control is realized via G-code, as popular in CNC. With additional components, the positioner can be re-configured and re-used as a high-quality 3-D printer.
