High quality gears give clearer
ultrasound picture
BCF Technology once again turned to Reliance to provide fine pitch precision gears and precision geared assemblies for its new internal ultrasound product, Duoscan
For nearly thirty years Reliance has worked with BCF Technology in the design and development of its ultrasound instruments Following the success of Reliance Precision's components in its external ultrasound product, Oviscan, BCF Technology once again turned to Reliance to provide fine pitch precision gears and precision geared assemblies for its new internal ultrasound product, Duoscan

The model allows designers to simulate the performance of a particular QMF configuration and optimise nine basic parameters of their QMF design for optimum sensitivity, resolution and peak shape
The Duoscan is said to be the world's only 170deg angle viewing probe to use ultrasound technology to predict the early stages of pregnancy in livestock.
Early detection and confirmation of foetal numbers allows farmers to control the mother's nutrition, resulting in a higher survival rate.
Gear driven by an inbuilt motor, Duoscan requires a steady constant speed to produce clear ultrasound images and for ease of use the design criteria also demands miniaturisation.
BCF Technology knew that to achieve the exceptionally smooth motion required, only the highest quality gears could be used.
With over 50 years experience in precision gear manufacture, Reliance claims to be a world leader in the production and measurement of exceptionally high quality, fine pitch gears and was therefore very well placed to meet the demands for increased gear accuracy.
Reliance now supplies high precision gears to AGMA quality 14.
