Modular Instrument
A Platform that Evolves as your Needs Grow
Designed to secure both your current and future phased array investments, the OmniScan MX2 is compatible with several different Olympus modules. You can be confident that you will get the most out of your investment as specifications will continue to evolve with your needs through constant software update
State-of-the-Art PA2 and UT2 Modules, as a world leader in phased array technology, Olympus has released a new line of modules compatible with MX2 instrument
PA2, the new phased array offering—led by the innovative PA2 modules, features multiple improvements, such as:
Best Phased Array and TOFD Signal Quality Ever
- Better signal-to-noise ratio
- More powerful pulsers
- 64 pure gray tone
More Multigroup Capabilities
- Ability to use PA and UT channels simultaneously
General Hardware Improvements
- Higher operating-temperature endurance (up to 45 °C)
- New OmniScan probe connector with quick latch system
- Completely sealed fanless design
- Extended autonomy on batteries
UT2, the new conventional ultrasound module features the same UT-channel technology as the PA2 modules, but offers twices many channels
OmniScan MX2 Equals Flexibility
Thanks to NDT SetupBuilder and OmniPC companion software, the OmniScan MX2 can be dedicated exclusively to calibration and acquisition tasks or, if preferred, can perform all the steps of an inspection, directly on its large, user-friendly touch screen
Setup
The most efficient way to create a setup is to perform the simulation in NDT SetupBuilder, and imported directly, via SD card or USB key, to the OmniScan. Then, only a few basic operations are required in the instrument, such as setting the gate and range, before acquisition can begin. It is also very easy to create a setup right in the OmniScan, thanks to the following features:
- Automatic probe recognition
- Intuitive wizards to guide the user through every step of the setup creation using the interactive help menu
- Weld Overlay and RayTracing simulation
- Group copy option for fast multiple-group configuration
Calibration
To achieve a code-compliant inspection, the Calibration Wizard ensures that every focal law in every group is the direct equivalent of a single-channel conventional flaw detector. The user is guided step-by-step through the required calibrations like: Velocity, Wedge Delay, Sensitivity, TCG, DAC, AWS, and encoder calibrations. Now, TOFD PCS calibration and lateral wave straightening can be performed automatically
Acquisition
The OmniScan MX2 enables easy configuration of inspection parameters for either manual, one-line, or raster encoded scans. The acquisition is displayed in real time through different views and offers the ability to store data on a hot-swappable SD card or USB 2.0 device.
- Intelligent layouts for configuring up to 8 groups
- Full-screen mode for better visualization of defects
- Synchronisation and measurements can be processed using different gate combinations.
Data Analysis and Reporting
- Data, reference, and measurement cursors for defect sizing
- Extensive readings database and predefined lists for trigonometry, flaw statistics on axes, volumetric position information, code-based acceptance criteria, corrosion mapping statistics, etc
- Views are linked for interactive analysis and are automatically updated when performing off-line gate repositioning
- Optimized preconfigured layouts for quick and simple length, depth, and height sizing of flaws
THE OLYMPUS OMNISCAN MX2 32-128PR MEETING CUSTOMERS NEEDS
Pressure Vessel Weld Inspection
A complete inspection of pressure vessel welds can be performed in a single scan using an OmniScan PA and manual scanner such as the HSMT series or a motorized scanner like the WeldROVER. By combining TOFD and PA in a single inspection pass, a significant reduction in inspection time can be achieved as compared with conventional raster scanning or radiography. Furthermore, inspection results are available immediately, enabling you to detect problems with welding equipment and fix them right away.
Manual and Semiautomated Corrosion Mapping
The OmniScan PA system with the HydroFORM scanner is designed to offer the best inspection solution for detecting wall- thickness reductions resulting from corrosion, abrasion, and erosion. In addition, this system detects mid-wall damage, such as hydrogen- induced blistering and manufacturing-induced delamination, and clearly differentiates such anomalies from loss-of-wall-thickness.
For this application, phased array ultrasound technology offers superior inspection speed, data point density, and detection.
Weld Inspection of Small-Diameter Pipes
When coupled with the COBRA manual scanner, the OmniScan flaw detector is capable of inspecting pipes ranging from 0.84 in. OD to 4.5 in. OD. With its very slim design, this manual scanner is able to inspect pipes in areas with limited access. Adjacent obstructions such as piping, supports, and structures can be as close as 12 mm (0.5 in.).
Composite Inspection
Parts made of laminate composite materials pose an inspection challenge due to their various shapes and thicknesses. Olympus offers complete solutions for the inspection of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer structures. These solutions are based on the OmniScan flaw detector, the GLIDER scanner, the RollerFORM™ phased array wheel probe, and dedicated probes and wedges designed for CFRP flat panel and radius inspection
Whether you prefer performing data analysis on a computer or simply wish to maximize the time your OmniScan is at work in the field, OmniPC or TomoView are the perfect software companions for your OmniScan.
