T echnology U pdate Advanced phased array flaw detector OLYMPUS NDT manufactures non-destructive testing instruments that are used in industrial and research applications ranging from aerospace, power generation, petrochemical, civil infrastructure and automotive to consumer products. The company has launched the latest version of the OmniScan Series flaw detectors, the OmniScan MX2. This phased array flaw detector features an entirely new design with a large, bright 10.4" LCD touch screen that provides simple and fast navigation, enhanced text input functionality and easy parameter settings. In combination with new powerful software features, high- capacity data storage and fast data transfer, the OmniScan MX2 provides inspection capabilities for manual and automated phased array applications. The OmniScan MX2’s touch screen interface with full screen mode achieves maximum visibility and provides intuitive operation for most common operator functions such as menu selection, zooming, gate selection, cursor movement and text and value input. Wizards during setup and calibration, a high S-scan and A-scan display refresh rate, and a fast pulse repetition frequency (PRF) make the OmniScan MX2 an efficient inspection tool. High-speed data transfer can be achieved with an SD card or through USB ports. The OmniScan Phased Array family comes with all software options including Multigroup, Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) and the new Weld Overlay Wizard software that facilitates the creation of industry standard weld overlays for analysis assistance and volumetric flaw placement. The OmniScan MX2 is a modular instrument that is fully compatible with the thousands of phased array modules already in the field. Its technology platform allows for fast and easy software and phased array module upgrades ranging from to 16:64 to 32.128 configurations. The OmniScan MX2 can be used with a full range of phased array probes, scanners and accessories.
