Description

The Olympus OmniScan SX Phased Array Ultrasonic Flaw Detector features a new streamlined software interface displayed on an 8.4 in. (21.3 cm) touch screen. A single-group and non-modular instrument, the OmniScan SX is easy to operate and cost-effective for less demanding applications.

The Olympus OmniScan SX touch screen offers a full-screen mode option that maximises visibility, essentially converting many menu functions into easy touch-screen operations. The intuitive interface provides smooth menu selection, zooming, gate adjustments, cursor movements, and text and value input. These, along with other premium integrated features, including easy-to-follow setup and calibration wizards, a rapid refresh rate for both the S-scan and A-scan displays, and a fast pulse repetition frequency (PRF), make the OmniScan SX a highly efficient inspection tool.

 

The OmniScan SX is fully compatible with the extensive portfolio of Olympus scanners, probes and accessories, as well as with its dedicated software companions, NDT SetupBuilder and OmniPC. Combined, the complete family of software and hardware contributes to a streamlined and efficient inspection workflow, from design and setup to acquisition and analysis.

The Omniscan SX unit comes supplied with 2 fully charged batteries and can be rented either on its own (to be used with your own probes and accessories) or with a range of probe and scanner kits which may be rented in a modular format. These include TOFD, Hydroform and Rexoform kits, together with chain scanners and glide scanners. Each of these kits has a range of accessories to suit most applications. Other probes and scanners may be available on request please contact us for details.
