Model: Fakopp - ArborSonic 3D Accoustic Tomograph

Country of Origin: Hungary

Use: The ArborSonic 3D Acoustic Tomograph is able to detect the size and location of decayed or hollow regionsin the trunk non-destructively.

Usage Instructions

1. Drive the transducers through the bark using a rubber hammer with even spacing around the trunk.
2. Measure the distances between the transducers with a caliper and enter the measured data to the computer.
3. Tap each transducer with a steel hammer to generate sound waves. ArborSonic 3D measures the travel times with microsecond precision to each transducer and transmits the data to the computer.
4. The software calculates and displays the internal sound-velocity distribution of the tree.
5. Measurements taken at various heights can be assembled into a 3D model.
