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
