Inspection of welded joints
Manual, mechanized and automated inspection of welded joints using various scanning devices. High-quality images of discontinuities in the inspection object, allowing you to automate the process of determining their type and measuring their dimensions.
Editor of the parameters of the inspection object
The built-in visual editor allows you to set the parameters of the inspection object (thickness and cutting of the welded joint), select piezoelectric converters, inspection circuits and determine the sounding zone.
Solid thickness measurement
The technology of continuous thickness measurement using phased arrays allows you to measure the wall thickness and the speed of the ultrasonic wave. The thickness measurement error is no more than 1% in the range from 20 to 100 mm, and no more than 0.2 mm in the range from 2 to 20 mm of thickness.
Sensitivity equalization
Alignment of sensitivity by angle and range is supported with the use of standard inspection reflectors: notches, flat-bottomed holes, side drilling holes in accordance with the requirements of Russian and international regulatory documentation, the FR-ARD technology allows you to estimate the equivalent area of the defect

Getting an image of the defect boundaries
AUGUR ART algorithms allow you to obtain B-type images, according to different acoustic schemes, taking into account the reflection from the bottom of the inspection object. After digital processing of these images, the task of obtaining information about the shape of the defect is facilitated.
Application of complex signals
The use of complex phase-manipulated signals is realized through the use of a programmable sequencer and subsequent mathematical processing and allows you to improve the image quality when inspection materials with high attenuation coefficients of ultrasound,
Support for matrices and TRL schemes
To ensure the beam swing in an additional plane and when monitoring materials with a granular structure, it is advisable to use antenna arrays and antenna arrays connected according to a separate combined scheme (TRL), the number of elements in the matrix is determined by the configuration of the flaw detector - from 32 to 128 elements.
