Phased Array & TOFD

Omniscan M

Omniscan M is an entry-level manual Phased Array equipment complete 2 channel conventional Ultrasonics that allows the operator to switch between Phased Array and conventional UT in one button push.

This new model in the OmniScan® product line provides the advantage of phased array imaging for manual testing, while keeping all the benefits of a proven product.

Omniscan MX Phased Array

With hundreds of units used throughout the world, the R/D Tech OmniScan MX is Olympus NDT’s most successful modular and portable phased array instrument available in the market. The OmniScan MX offers a high acquisition rate and powerful software features in a portable, modular mainframe to efficiently perform manual and automated inspections. There are various Phased Array modules available for different application requirements.

Phased array technology generates an ultrasonic beam with the capability of setting beam parameters such as angle, focal distance, and focal point size through software. Furthermore, this beam can be multiplexed over a large array. These capabilities open a series of new possibilities. For instance, it is possible to quickly vary the angle of the beam to scan a part without moving the probe itself. Phased arrays also allow the replacement of multiple probes and even mechanical components. Inspecting a part with a variable-angle beam also maximizes detection regardless of the defect orientation, while optimizing signal-to-noise ratio.

Omniscan MX TOFD

As a modular equipment the R/D Tech OmniScan MX can be equipped with multi-channel Ultrasonics module for Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) application.

TOFD is a technique that uses two probes in pitch-and-catch mode. TOFD detects and records signals diffracted from defect tips for both detection and sizing. The TOFD data is displayed in a grayscale B-scan view. TOFD offers wide coverage and amplitude-independent sizing compliant with the ASME 2235 code.

  • One-line scan for full-volume inspection
  • Setup independent of weld configuration
  • Very sensitive to all kinds of defects and unaffected by defect orientation

Scanner & Encoder

R/D Tech manufactures various types scanner for welding inspection and corrosion mapping as well as various encoders to allow full time-distance capture of data.

Transducers

R/D Tech manufactures more than 3000 types of transducers for different kinds of applications.
