Economy with Quality
The EPOCH 600 combines the efficiency of a basic flaw detector with the quality of Olympus’ most powerful fully digital ultrasonic instruments. A full range of dynamic, reliable inspection features are packaged with economy of size and ease of use. This optimal balance brings powerful flaw detection features within reach of any level of inspector.
Simple and Durable Operation
The EPOCH 600 design is focused on providing a very high level of flaw detection with the simplicity of a basic instrument. The EPOCH 600 is designed to be ergonomic, intuitive, and practical for both experienced and novice ultrasonic inspectors.
Intuitive User Interface
The EPOCH 600 user interface is based on the industry approved EPOCH 1000 Series imaging flaw detector. The EPOCH 600 combines a simple menu structure for instrument settings, calibration and software feature adjustment, with the EPOCH brand’s hallmark direct-access key approach for critical inspection functions such as gain and gate adjustment, screen freeze, and file save. Supported in multiple languages, the EPOCH 600 user interface is intuitive for any level of operator.
Portable Design for All Inspection Environments
The EPOCH 600 is designed for use in nearly any inspection environment, from bench top testing in a laboratory to extreme outdoor and hazardous conditions. Designed for IP rating in either knob (IP66) or navigation pad (IP67) configurations, and tested to very high environmental and reliability standards, the EPOCH 600 allows users in any inspection environment to feel confident in both the performance and durability of the instrument. The instrument is tested for vibration, shock, explosive atmosphere, and wide temperature ranges. And with a battery life to exceed 15 hours, the EPOCH 600 is the perfect solution for remote inspection locations.
Vibrant Full VGA Display
The EPOCH 600 features a full VGA (640 x 480 pixels) resolution display. The horizontal design of the EPOCH 600 optimizes the A-scan size and readability on this high quality display. Built with transflective technology, this VGA display provides excellent clarity in indoor, low lighting conditions using its powerful backlight, as well as in direct sunlight by using the ambient light as a pseudo-backlight.
Optimized Access to Powerful Features
The EPOCH 600 provides excellent quality ultrasonic performance. Based on the same digital architecture as the EPOCH XT, LTC and EPOCH 1000 Series, the EPOCH 600 provides flexible, powerful pulsing and receiving features to accommodate the needs of most flaw detection inspections.
