SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Resonance Model, Wide Bandwidth Model & Special Model.

• Resonance Model: It includes acoustic emission sensors, which are modeled based on the resonance technique in that they enhance vibrations on frequencies that they resonate. These sensors are able to only respond to particular frequencies, thus proving very useful in structural health assessment and material conditions. They are useful for applications where accurate measurement of wanted frequencies is desired.

• Wide Bandwidth Model: In wide bandwidth model acoustic emission sensors, they cover a wide frequency range, hence can detect almost all the acoustic emissions. This versatility makes it possible to monitor and analyze all sorts of materials and structures. These sensors are used in cases where various frequency components must be recorded at the same time.

• Special Model: There are special model acoustic emission sensors developed depending on the activity or occasion they are required for and comprise features that best suit a certain scenario or environment it is going to be used in. Such sensors can be developed to function on the extended parameters or on the basis of a special type of sound waves unique to them. They also provide service distinctiveness for industries that have specific needs for monitoring.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Product Testing & Tool Monitoring.

• Product Testing: Acoustic emission sensors on products are used in the testing phase to listen to the internal defects or structures of the products. They present current signals on stress and strain to guarantee that the end products are both reliable and safe. They are very essential in the monitoring of quality and performance of different products during manufacturing.

• Tool Monitoring: In tool monitoring, acoustic emission sensors are used for the condition and performance ad monitoring of industrial tools through the detection of vibration and audible sound. They enable detection of tool wear, a tool failure, or even malfunctions, which would have otherwise caused a lot of time to be spent in correcting them. This application makes operations more effective, as well as increasing the usage-life of tools and equipment.
