OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector delivers improved power and performance to Olympus field-proven phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) product line
The new OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector delivers improved power and performance to Olympus field-proven phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) product line. This 64-channel instrument has the pulser capacity to drive phased array (PA) probes with a larger number of elements, increasing the data acquisition speed for total focusing method (TFM) imaging. Users can exploit its increased capabilities to expand and diversify their application portfolio.
The high portability and enhanced performance of the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector increase inspection productivity. It can process TFM images up to four times as fast as its predecessor, yet comes in the same rugged and easily transportable box. On job sites with limited or restricted space, users will appreciate that the OmniScan X3 64 unit is compact and less cumbersome than other 64-channel devices. Inspectors can also remain on site longer and perform bigger scanning jobs without transferring data, thanks to the large 1 TB onboard storage.
Facilitating complex and thick part or weld applications, the instrument full 64-element aperture PA and 128-element aperture TFM enables users to optimize advanced Dual Linear Array (DLA) and Dual Matrix Array (DMA) probes. To save time during setup, all models in the OmniScan X3 series have integrated DLA and DMA support.
Smaller defects are easier to distinguish using the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector high resolution PA and TFM imaging. Accommodating lower frequency probes, the OmniScan X3 64 unit can increase penetration in attenuative materials while reducing signal saturation. These improved detection capabilities assist monitoring for early-stage flaws, such as high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA).
When applications require advanced analysis, the entire PA inspection workflow can be performed using Olympus WeldSight software for greater efficiency. With the WeldSight Remote Connect app installed on the OmniScan X3 64 unit, users can instantly view the acquired data on a PC, exploiting the customizable user interface and software tools that facilitate specialized inspection procedures, including new-fabrication welds in pressure vessels
The OmniScan X3 flaw detector combines the essential tools needed for PAUT inspections, such as TOFD, two UT channels, eight groups and 16:64PR, 16:128PR and 32:128PR configurations, with powerful innovations, including:
When on the job site, you need equipment that is compact and easy to transport. Smaller and less cumbersome than other typical 64-channel devices, the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector offers true portability, providing increased convenience and flexibility for jobs where space is limited.
Offering proven reliability, the OmniScan X3 64 unit is built tough to withstand harsh environments and challenging inspection demands. Backed by our global customer support, geolocation, and wireless connectivity, you can be productive and efficient in the field.
