New Olympus OmniScan X3 64 Phased Array Flaw Detector

NEW OLYMPUS OMNISCAN X3 64 PHASED ARRAY FLAW DETECTOR

Housed in the field-proven rugged and portable OmniScan X3 enclosure, the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector’s powerful focusing capabilities supported by its larger element-aperture capacity enable you to fully exploit 64-element phased array probes and 128-element aperture TFM. Utilize its enhanced performance to meet the inspection challenges of thick and attenuative materials and expand your potential to develop new procedures for a wider range of applications.

• With the release of MXU 5.11 onboard software for OmniScan X3 and X3 64 flaw detectors, the file format of data files created with these devices has changed from .odat to .nde. This change is the beginning of a shift in how NDT data is managed and accessed. It starts with the OmniScan X3 series but will be applied to all future Evident nondestructive testing software and hardware platforms, and hopefully it will be extended to and used by the entire NDT industry.
• If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a more efficient way to perform weld screening than simply scrolling through B-scans, you’ll want to hear about our solution. With the MXU 5.13 software update, we introduced an innovative B-scan view for the OmniScan X3 series that has the potential to revolutionize this time- and attention-consuming technique. Used as a validation tool, it can give you more confidence in your assessments and help ease the whole B-scan screening process.
• With the release of MXU 5.10 software, the OmniScan™ X3 64 flaw detector gains a new advanced ultrasonic inspection technique: phase coherence imaging (PCI). As soon as your OmniScan X3 64 unit is updated, you can start taking advantage of PCI to achieve live total focusing method (TFM) images with unprecedented clarity and sensitivity to small defects.
• The nondestructive testing (NDT) industry is experiencing an important technological advancement, as total focusing method (TFM) capable inspection devices are making their entry into the market. The TFM approach represents a significant step forward for phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) technology.
• Learn how probe and ultrasonic testing (UT) technology can assist in the detection and characterization of cracking in chrome carbide overlay (CCO). Stephan Couture, global product application leader at Evident, explains and demonstrates techniques to inspect a CCO sample.

Our innovative amplitude-free live phase coherence imaging (PCI) improves small-defect sensitivity and penetration in noisy materials, all while easing your setup and simplifying sizing. Available on the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector as of MXU 5.10.

Benefit from 64-Pulser Phased Array

⇒ Exploit the full potential of 64-element phased array probes using the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector to achieve improved resolution at the focal point.
⇒ Acquired using a 32-channel OmniScan X3 unit with a 64-element probe (5L64-A32 model), this S-scan is a high-quality image but the resolution reflects the fact that only the middle 32 elements could be used for the focal law.
⇒ Using a full 64-element aperture (5L64-A32 probe), the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector provides better PA resolution at the focal point, enabling you to more easily distinguish indications that are close together or in a cluster.

Acquire up to 4X Faster TFM

Achieve total focusing method (TFM) acquisition speeds of up to 4 times faster when using a 64-element probe. Compared to models with 32 pulsers, the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector offers a significant improvement in efficiency owing to its larger aperture capability.
