Modularity for changing needs Small
Simple

Welcome to the Family

Applications
With its single group capability, the OmniScan SX is the
answer for less demanding applications.
It is ideal for linear zero-degree inspection, such as
corrosion mapping or composite inspection, as well as weld
inspection using one phased array group or one TOFD
channel.

Applications
Weld inspection

Time Of Flight (TOFD)

Applications
Weld inspection

One Phased Array probe manual or encoded

Applications
Corrosion

One PA probe 2-axis encoded

HydroFORM or RexoFORM on the
Chain Scanner

Capabilities
All those applications can be fully addressed
because of the following capabilities:

Single group
Imaging
Data Storage
Manual or Encoded (one or two axis)
Post-Analysis or Results Traceability

1. Single Group
Examples of what is called a single group:

A linear using 1x PA probe

A sectorial using 1x PA probe
A TOFD using 2x UT probes
A Pulse-Echo using 1x UT probe
A Pitch-Catch using 1x dual UT probe

A sectorial using 1x PA probe
A TOFD using 2x UT probes
A Pulse-Echo using 1x UT probe
A Pitch-Catch using 1x dual UT probe

Any combination of 2 or more of the above is called a

Multi-Group application
The OmniScan MX2 has a capability of 8 groups.

2. Imaging
A-Scan Imaging for volumetric representation.

B-Scan

C-Scan

S-Scan

3. Data Storage
After an acquisition is saved, all A-Scans
are stored on the Flash card.
Stored data can be post analysed within
the instrument or on a computer using
OmniPC or TomoView.
One of the feature that is commonly
required for code compliancy is the ability
to archive unprocessed data.

4. Encoding
Required for precise defect positioning and sizing
Same encoder connector and capabilities between the
MX2 and the SX
One encoder is typically well suited for applications such
as weld inspection.
Two encoders are a best fit for corrosion or composite
mapping (XY raster scan)
