Evident has released the OmniScan X4, its newest OmniScan™ phased array flaw detector. With multiple ultrasonic technologies and powerful imaging capabilities, the OmniScan X4 is designed to allow inspectors of all skill levels to detect damage mechanisms in a variety of infrastructure assets.
The result of more than two decades of product development and enhancement, the OmniScan X4 is the latest evolution in Evident’s OmniScan line, a field-proven series of portable, ultrasonic flaw detectors that meet inspection challenges across a wide range of applications. A lightweight inspection solution engineered for speed, simplicity, and versatility, the OmniScan X4 is equipped with a full range of phased array ultrasonic testing capabilities in an easy-to-use interface that enables accurate detection of even the most challenging flaws.
All OmniScan X4 models include advanced total focusing method (TFM), phase coherence imaging (PCI), and plane wave imaging (PWI) technologies, allowing quick flaw detection and characterization.
“We’ve equipped the OmniScan X4 with the power it needs to perform the complex processing required for TFM, PCI, and PWI,” said Émilie Péloquin, executive director of Global Advanced NDT Product Support at Evident. “Having these techniques in addition to phased array can be a huge help in making a definitive determination about the extent of certain damage. With access to a variety of techniques, you are far more likely to make the right call; more tools mean less doubt.”
The new OmniScan X4 is an advanced multi-technology flaw detector equipped with TFM, PCI, and PWI inspection capabilities.
“What also differentiates the OmniScan X4 is that it’s designed to evolve,” Péloquin said. “We are continually making it smarter, enhancing its onboard software and adding new features that target specific industry needs. Many of the improvements we make are complimentary to OmniScan X4 users through quarterly software updates.” With a 1-TB solid-state storage drive on all models, the OmniScan X4 allows inspection technicians to work longer and inspect larger parts without having to stop to transfer files.
And with expanded RAM, optimized MXU software and a more powerful processor than its predecessors, the OmniScan X4 delivers nearly instantaneous reaction and refresh for common operations.
“At Evident, we understand how important speed and efficiency are to productivity in the field,” said Karen Smith, president of Evident’s Industrial Division. “The OmniScan X4’s enhanced processing power and data storage deliver immediate, easy-to-characterize results, which translates into cost savings for asset owners. It also offers a compact, lightweight footprint, which enables inspectors to move, configure, and operate their equipment with ease and agility.”
