Special tinted resins enable the system to automatically measure the coating's thickness, reducing photoelasticity to a simple paint and shoot technique. With the GFP 2000 residual stresses in glass and plastic can easily be assessed without coatings. Production auto glass can be inspected without removing the black paint band!   Key Features of the GFP 2000   Dynamic Testing Use in confined places Possible use in dynamic rigs Real-time images of stress patterns Compact size camera head and flexible light source and projection head Use in production line environment, e.g. monitoring the quality of glass or plastic     Compact Camera Head   Remote Light Source and Projection Head         The GFP 2000 is well suited to the following engineering applications:   Compontent Testing Impact Testing Assembly Stress Analysis Glass Inspection Flaw Detection Residual Stress Analysis FEA Model Verification     Technical Specifications   Only the GFP 2000 utilises a patent pending achromatic circularly polarizing illumination head. The modular design allows a choice of several illumination sources, including high luminance and strobe sources.   The GFP 2000 uses patented kaleidoscopic optics to replicate the image four times on the detector. All sub images are simultaneously analysed with a differently oriented polariser to measure the stress induced at every pixel.      System Performance   • Typical Strain Resolution   20 Microstrain (1/100 fringe order) • Spatial Resolution   320 x 240 • Frame Rate   Real-Time Calculation: 10 f/s Capture Video/Post Process: full frame rate • Image Acquisition   PCI Frame Grabber Card      Camera   • Optics   15mm • Detector   RGB/CCD Progressive • Power   100-250 VAC • Size   3.0in x 2.25in x 2.25in (without lens) 4.0in x 2.25in x 2.25in (with lens) • Weight   0.3 kg (10.58 oz)      Illuminator Head   • Size   53.34mm (2.1in) diameter 127mm (5.0in) length • Weight   0.45kg (1.0lb) • Light Sources   Multiple Options Available      Computer Hardware and Software   • Deltavision Software   Controls system parameters, image acquisition, and post-processing.
