What is ultrasonic technology?
Ultrasonic technology utilizes the properties of ultrasound for the benefit of maintenance diagnostics, safety, and quality control. Industrial machines and equipment emit ultrasound waves that can indicate defects or failures. CTRL’s UL101 converts ultrasound into the human audible range so that these “warning signs” can be heard. At the same time, the unit ignores sounds typically heard by the human ear so that the problems detectable in the ultrasound range can be more clearly discerned. These converted sounds can be easily recognized through the UL101’s headset and distinguished by the human ear and brain. For example, a bearing sounds like a bearing and an air leak sounds like an air leak. Therefore, listening for gas leaks or monitoring the condition of bearings becomes very reasonable in extremely noisy environments.
