About


ASCO-DAQ2 is an easy to operate and versatile, single-channel Acoustic Emission (AE) system well suited for many applications such as process monitoring measuring burst and / or continuous AE. ASCO-DAQ2 is a data acquisition module in a rugged box which houses the well proven Vallen AE Signal Conditioner (ASCO-P). Connected to a PC using the standard USB 2.0 interface the 4-channel data acquisition module samples APK (Acoustic Peak Amplitude), ASL (timely average of the logarithmized AE signal), external parameters, such as stress, strain, pressure and temperature at a programmable sampling rate and stores the data to a file. ASCO-DAQ2 comes with ready-to-use powerful ASCODAQ software package for data acquisition and analysis including automated monitoring and alarm modes.

For the production of high voltage isolators that shall carry heavy overhead power lines, a metallic fitting is crimped onto a fiber glass rod. The crimping process must be well adjusted. Most important process parameters are hydraulic pressure and duration of pressurization. If crimping pressure is too low, the mechanical joint might fail under tension. If pressure is too high, the brittle fiber glass rod might become damaged and also fail under tension. The AE method detects any damaging of the fiber glass rod in real time, during the crimping process. ASCO-DAQ2 is the most efficient solution for this application: simple to use, highly accurate and reasonable priced.
