Abstract
Research was initiated at the University of Nottingham, UK in 1983 to develop ultrasonic sensor systems for flexible manufacturing. This research work, undertaken jointly by the departments of Production Engineering and Electrical Engineering, has developed into a research center for investigating the uses of ultrasonics in manufacturing. Industrial participation has been present from the inception of the research through a cooperating partner, Transfer Technology Ltd. The industrial contribution to the research is shortly to be enhanced through the formation of a “club” of industrial companies, all of which will commit resources, and in return will receive access to the research findings so as to be able to implement ultrasonics into manufacturing more effectively. The research to date has developed both single transducers and arrays to operate at frequencies up to 200 kHz in air. A computerized automatic test facility has been built for transducers. A range measuring system has been constructed utilizin...
