Introduction
The UltraGauge+ is an advanced in-process ultrasonic measurement system developed by LaserLinc, designed for non-contact measurement of internal diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and wall thickness. It is particularly useful for early detection of product flaws and reducing waste.

Specifications
- Measures over 2000 times per second with an accuracy of ±0.001mm (±0.000040 inches).
- Supports up to eight transducers for multiple wall thickness measurements or operates as two independent systems with four transducers each.
- Capable of measuring multi-layered products up to four layers.
- Compliant with IP65 and RoHS standards.

Features
- Dual closed-loop, adaptive control with automatic shrinkage compensation.
- Provides measurements for wall concentricity, ID, and OD when used with a laser micrometer.
- Includes advanced statistical process control (SPC), histograms, and charts for process improvement.
- Built-in water purge in transducer blocks to prevent air interference.
- Standard Ethernet connection for low-cost integration.

System Components
The system includes a digital signal processor (DSP), transducer fixture, and optionally, a laser micrometer. The DSP connects to a PC running Total Vu software via Ethernet, allowing users to view dynamic waveform graphs and product cross-sections.

Applications
The UltraGauge+ is suitable for measuring various materials, including:
- Plastics: 0.001" – 1.0" (0.025mm – 25mm), with some plastics like Teflon measurable down to 0.0005" (0.0127mm).
- Rubber: 0.001" – 1.0" (0.025mm – 25mm).
- Glass Tubing: 0.004" – 1.0" (0.1mm - 25mm).
- Metal Tubing: Minimum 0.003" (0.076mm), including stainless steel and Nitinol.

Conclusion
The UltraGauge+ offers a comprehensive solution for in-process, non-destructive wall-thickness measurement, enhancing product quality and reducing waste through precise and reliable measurements.
