Seeding Rake
Seeding Rake SR-2315
Seeding rake SR-2315
Seeding rake is used for spreading seeding evenly and efficiently.Ideal for spot-based measurements in wind tunnels and high-density seeding.
Diffusion of seeding particles evenly is very important for the accuracy of PIV.
In order to diffuse uniformly, global seeding that scatters the whole wind path is the best method.If you keep spreading seeding from the downstream position of the measuring part of the wind tunnel, the whole air passage will be filled with seeding particles.For PivPart 45 it will be ready for measurement in a few minutes even in a large wind tunnel.
However, with this method, a large amount of seeding particles will be forced into the air duct for a long time.This method should be avoided as much as possible considering the impact on the wind tunnel.So we use seeding spray porous nozzle called seeding rake.Seeding rake is a collection of multiple tubules with pores opened.We will install it just after the rectification cave and spray it.Uniform seeding is possible without affecting the flow, and it is possible to do with the minimum necessary seeding amount.It can correspond to various sizes and uses.

DT Accretate
DT Accretate ( Optional functions of Koncerto II )
Δt The automatic correction function is a function to guarantee high accuracy with measurement requiring a very small Δt, such as ultra high-speed flow and high-speed flow of minute scale.
For super high-speed flow, high-speed flow of minute scale, etc., it is necessary to shorten the interval (Δt) of double pulse to 100 nanoseconds or less.In such a time scale, errors in the build-up time of the laser and various timing-based minute errors become relatively large, and the difference between the set Δt and the actual laser pulse interval may reach 10 to 20%.
Δt The automatic correction function is a function to directly measure the interval of the actual double pulse laser light with a high speed photodetector and automatically reflect the measured value to the speed calculation value.
This enables high precision measurement similar to ordinary measurement even in super high speed flow.
■ System configuration
■ High speed photo detector
■ Double pulse interval measurement unit
Build-up time error
The build-up time is the time from the input of the Q switch signal by the pulse laser until the laser pulse is actually oscillated, which is about 20 to 70 nanoseconds depending on the model.
The build-up time varies slightly depending on the oscillation state of the laser.
Because double pulse laser uses two independent lasers, there may be difference in build up time of individual lasers, this time difference is build up error.
Since the build-up error becomes relatively large in the measurement of ultra-fast flow such as Δt less than 100 nanoseconds,it is necessary to measure and correct the interval of actual laser pulse light.
Camera mounts
Scheimpflug camera mounts SCM-1
Scheimpflug Camera Mount is a camera mount for accurate focus adjustment of the entire area of the shooting area with stereo PIV.
In stereo 3D PIV, Camera views the light sheet from an oblique angle. Scheimpflug camera mount ensures all the areas of off-normal object plane in focus. Rotation axis is on the center of the sensor. It ensures no image offset when aligning the Scheimpflug angle.
Features
■ Robust design for image measurement.■ Mounted so that the tilt rotation axis for Shine Flush angle adjustment is coaxial with the sensor center axis.Even if the Shine Flag angle is adjusted, the field of view will not move to the right or left and alignment is easy.
■ Even when the camera is detached from the Scheimpflug Mount by a high-precision camera mounter and used as a single unit and mounted again, the Scheimpflug swing axis and the sensor center axis precisely match with each other. (※1)
■ It can be fixed stably even with a large high speed video camera.
■ Most of the cameras supported by Koncerto II can be mounted by the height adapter plate.
■ Select the height adapter plate at the time of purchase.
■ An inverted mount is also possible. For example, in measuring the flow under the floor of an automobile, it is necessary to install the camera at the height of the floor. In such a case, it is possible to arrange a Scheimpflug mount on top of the camera and hang it from above.
■ Electric options are also available.
※1
In order to create a Scheimpflug condition, you will wilt the lens or camera, but the field of view will be shifted to the left or right even if you touch it. In the stereo PIV, the target center is aligned with the center of the field of view in order to maximize the resolution, so if the field of view is shifted by adjusting the Scheimpflug angle, the field of view must be returned. Since the Scheimpflug angle also changes by returning the field of view, it is necessary to repeat the operation to drive it.Especially at super high resolution cameras the frame rate is also slow, skill is necessary for this work. The SCM - 1 is adjusted for each camera at the time of shipment so that the center axis of the tilt and the sensor center axis of the camera accurately coincide.Therefore, even if you adjust the tilt, the field of view will not be shifted and alignment will be completed easily with one adjustment.
Calibration targets
Camera calibration Target
Camera calibration is very important for accurate PIV measurement in stereo 3D-PIV and 2D-PIV with distorted images. Flat and multi height, double sided types of many sizes are available.There are flat type and multiple section type.Various sizes and dot densities are prepared for each, and it can be selected according to the application.
◆ Flat target (single side type, double side type)
Planar targets must traverse about 3 to 5 cross sections in the out-of-plane direction.This type issuitable when traverse is possible and precision is pursued.Increasing the traverse cross section increases accuracy.One side type is used when both of the cameras are installed on one side of the light sheet.Double sided type can be used with pinched camera arrangement.Travers can also be powered and automatically controlled by Koncerto.
◆ Ultra large lightweight target
2000mm ~ 2000mm is available. Please contact us.
◆ CLP type double-sided multi-section target
Traverse is unnecessary target.This type is convenient when traverse can not be performed in a closed space, or when there is no such window that the image is distorted between the camera and the light sheet. Generally this type is suitable for wind tunnel.In the conventional double-sided, multi-section target, the height of the lower surface of both sides does not match due to the thickness of the plate, so it is necessary to correct the focus after the calibration in the calibration of the pinch camera arrangement, which causes the error It was getting.Since the height of the low surface of the CLP type is the same on both sides, high precision calibration is possible.In addition, since the dots on the high surface and the dots on the low surface are alternately arranged, the interpolation accuracy by software becomes uniform.
◆ CLP-DPDS
Double Plane Double Side type. It has common lower plane which ensures the accurate camera calibration when the cameras are located on both sides of laser light sheet in Stereo 3D-PIV
◆ SPDS
Single Plane Double Side Flat type. This type requires target traverse to record multiple height of images.But it ensures accurate measurement.
