Universal Transducer Adapters for NDE/NDT Research

Verasonics’ Universal Transducer Adapters (UTAs) enable Vantage system users to quickly convert their system to operate transducers with a variety of connectors. Changing from one UTA to another is simple and takes only a few minutes. The user loosens a set of screws by hand, changes the UTA and re-tightens the screws. The Vantage system must be shut down before, and re-booted after, the UTA changeover.

One UTA adapter is included with every Vantage system purchase. Additional adapters are available to meet changing research needs; older Vantage systems can be upgraded to the latest UTA technology.

Benefits of Verasonics’ UTA technology:

  • Enables use of high-performance, low noise connectors
  • Allows for transducers up to 256 elements without a multiplexer
  • Provides signal paths for efforts requiring additional grounding, power supply, digital control signals, etc.
  • Retains compatibility with Verasonics transducers, as well as transducers from a variety of supplier partners
