Ultrasound - testing device and method for non-destructive testing of a wheel and a wheel disk

摘要

Ultrasound - testing device for non-destructive testing of a wheel (2) and / or a wheel disc (4), having at least two ultrasound - test probes (12a, b), wherein each of the ultrasound - test heads (12a, b) an ultrasonic transducer arrangement (16a, b) with a plurality of arranged in a row next to one another, in each case a transmitter - / receiving surface (26) comprises the invention, in which the ultrasonic transducers (18) on a surface (22) of a common support member (20a, b) are arranged, wherein the surface (22) of each carrier (20a, b) in a first, vertical direction (r_V) and, in a second lateral direction (r_L) with respect to a coupling face (24) is inclined and wherein the at least two ultrasound - test heads (12a, b) are aligned in relation to each other in such a way that they both in the pulse - echo - art as well as in the v - irradiation by ultrasonic waves are operable.A method for the nondestructive testing of a wheel (2) and / or a wheel disc (4) with such an ultrasound - testing device, in which the ultrasound - test heads (12a, b), to a running surface (8) of the wheel (2) and be coupled by the ultrasonic transducer arrangements (16a, b) emitted sound waves (s) be tilted electronically, wherein a from a first ultrasonic transducer arrangement (16a) emitted ultrasound beam (s) of both the first ultrasonic transducer arrangement (16a) as well as from a second ultrasonic transducer arrangement (16b) is received.
