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