3D SAFT Inspection Equipment Matrixeye™VI with Phased Array Function

Matrixeye™VI

Features

General-purpose ultrasonic inspection equipment that pursues "visibility" for a wide variety of products

High-resolution, high-sensitivity ultrasonic inspection system with 3D SAFT-PA (3D aperture synthesis, phase and array) function

  • Responding to a variety of inspection needs, including composite materials (e.g.,CFRP) such as aircraft fuselages metal castings, welds, and inspection of railway components.

Increased flaw detection speed

  • Enhanced data communication by switching to SSD-based storage,and higher CPU and memory capacity.
  • Flaw detection speed: Up to 1.9 times faster than our previous model

Improved environmental resistance

  • A closed-loop cooling system improves stable operation in a dust environment

Abundant applications

  • Supports not only vertical inspection but also bevel(angled) detection.
  • Offline analysis using 3D image data is supported.
  • Enables the construction of inspection system by using simple mechanism and encoder input.

Advanced analysis software

  • Generate A-, B-, and C-scan images and allows configuration of DACs (Distance Amplitude Correction) and GATEs
  • Enables automatic defect area calcutation by applying customized color palettes and threshold values.
