OmniScan X3 64-channel flaw detector from Olympus improves imaging efficiency

Olympus has introduced the OmniScan X3 64 flaw detector, designed to deliver improved power and performance to the manufacturer’s phased-array ultrasonic testing product line. This 64-channel instrument has the pulser capacity to drive phased-array probes with a larger number of elements, increasing the data acquisition speed for total focusing method (TFM) imaging.

The compact unit can process TFM images up to four times as fast as its predecessor. The 1-TB onboard storage lets inspectors remain on-site longer and perform bigger scanning jobs without transferring data.

Facilitating complex and thick part or weld applications, the instrument’s full 64-element aperture phased-array and 128-element aperture TFM enable users to optimize advanced Dual Linear Array and Dual Matrix Array probes.
