1. Dual Phased Array Operation for Maximum Detectability
• Simultaneous operation with two 64-element PA probes for two-sided weld inspection • 100 Hz S-scan generation speed enables high-speed scanning (6-9 m/min) without compromising data quality • Real-time focusing with 1024 focusing laws for precise beam steering
2. Multiple Inspection Modes for Diverse Applications
• PA Mode: Advanced phased array scanning for weld inspection • 2PA + 2TOFD Mode: Simultaneous dual-probe operation with TOFD for comprehensive defect analysis • Conventional UT Mode: Traditional A-scan, B-scan, and TOFD for legacy inspections • i-Scan Mode: Corrosion mapping and composite material inspection
3. Advanced Imaging & Data Analysis
• Multiple viewing modes: — S-scan (Sectorial scan) – Real-time angle sweeps — L-scan (Linear scan) – Fixed-angle inspection — LS-scan (Compound scan) – Combines S-scan with aperture movement — A-, B-, C-scans – Full defect visualization • True beam path visualization for accurate defect location and sizing • Full-screen mode for enhanced signal detailing
4. Smart Weld Inspection Tools
✔ Weld Wizard – Predefined weld profiles with real geometry simulation (root height, HAZ, thickness variations) ✔ Multigroup Function – Split each PA probe into 4 independent groups with customized focus zones ✔ Angle Correction Gain (ACG) & Time Correction Gain (TCG) – Precise defect sizing ✔ Scan Plan Wizard – Visual beam path planning for optimal coverage
5. High-Speed Data Acquisition & Recording
• Digital recording of every A-scan signal • Encoder-based scanning for precise defect positioning • 300 MB file capacity with USB & Ethernet data transfer • On-the-fly analysis before file saving
6. Rugged & Field-Ready Design
• Ultra-lightweight (2.5 kg) for easy portability • 10+ hours battery life with hot-swap capability • High-brightness TFT display (800×600 px) for visibility in sunlight • Wide temperature range (-35°C to +50°C) for harsh environments
Operation with scanners
→AutoWeldScan — Fully automated girth weld scanner (3.5 kg) → AutoPAScan – Motorized scanner for one-side or two-side weld inspection → RollScan – Rolling probe for composite and corrosion inspection → Third-party scanners (with compatible interfaces)
