MAIN FEATURES

 

  • Well balanced between ergonomics and functionality: easy solutions for daily applications in workshop, laboratory, and outdoors.

  • Adjustable handle keeps instrument stable on any surface, even round parts.

  • Large bright color LCD screen (1024 × 768 pixels) with excellent visibility in direct sunlight.

  • Optimum performance and extended connectivity.

  • Lightweight: 1.28 kg / 3.04 lbs and just 34 mm thin.

  • Combines digital design advantages with detailed dynamic echo information to bring back the “analog look and performance,” using a 200 MHz sampling rate.

  • Direct access to 12 functions.

  • Burst pulser: selectable and tunable for optimum probe matching to handle a wide range of tough-to-penetrate applications.

  • EMAT capability for non-contact testing.

  • Trigonometric flaw location function with curvature correction:

    • Automatically calculates depth, surface distance, and sound path to flaw along the inspection leg when using angle beam probes.

    • Time-of-Flight (TOF) measurements displayed in mm, inches, or µm.

  • Standards and tools supported: DAC, JIS-DAC, AVG, API, Automatic Thicknessmeter, Auto Gain, Auto Freeze.

  • Weld rating calculation: simplifies rating of indications in welds according to AWS Specification D1.1.

  • B-scan imaging: thickness mode or RGB palette.

APPLICATIONS:

  • Aerospace – composite testing

  • Steel production – large castings, hot and cold rolled steel

  • Engineering – welds and joints

  • Railway – track junctions in manganese steel

  • Energy – austenitic welds, drive shafts etc.

  • Automotive – spot weld testing

  • Customized applications
