Abstract
A testing machine comprising: (a) a transmitter; (b) a receiver opposing the transmitter; and (c) a compressibility sensor in communication with the transmitter, the receiver, or both, wherein the testing machine transmits a signal between the transmitter and the receiver to perform ultrasonic testing and further performs compressibility testing of one or more objects positioned between the transmitter and the receiver.
Claims20
A testing machine comprising:
- a. a transmitter;
- b. a receiver opposing the transmitter;
- c. a compressibility sensor in communication with the transmitter, the receiver, or both;
- d. a compression plate adapted to support one or more objects, wherein the receiver is aligned with an aperture of the compression plate so that the receiver communicates with the one or more objects through the aperture when the compression plate is compressed towards the receiver;
- and
- e. a controller to control when the testing machine performs ultrasonic testing, compressibility testing, or both, wherein the testing machine is part of a closed-loop system and the controller communicates with an electronic device to relay results of the ultrasonic testing, the compressibility testing, or both to a manufacturing stage;
- wherein the testing machine transmits a signal between the transmitter and the receiver to perform the ultrasonic testing and further performs the compressibility testing on the one or more objects positioned between the transmitter and the receiver.
