Automation of non-destructive quality control by acoustic emission method of transport systems in mechanical engineering

The article describes methods for constructing acoustic emission systems for new devices with a USB interface. Using the example of the measurement modules of the RANIS system (manufacturer-ForTechLab LLC, www.e-mission.ru) it is shown how modern means of wireless communication can be used to build multi-level systems with a distributed measurement system. The prospects of using wireless acoustic emission systems are presented. For synchronous operation of all boards in the system, each of the boards has a synchronizing input and output. The synchronization of the RANIS system boards is possible by both wired and wireless methods. With the wired connection method, the boards are connected to each other along a chain, allowing you to build an extended distributed acoustic emission control system. Cross-board synchronization is performed when it is necessary to deploy a signal registration grid consisting of more than 4 sensors. Partial synchronization within compact sensor groups is possible if there is no synchronization between groups, which provides additional flexibility to the measurement system.
