Take on more complex challenges with confidence while keeping your equipment lightweight and field-ready.

  • The flexibility to develop new PAUT applications requiring 128-element pulsers.
  • Full 128:128 power in the same compact, portable, and durable design.
  • An upgrade path for your existing OmniScan X4 64:128PR: No full replacement needed.
  • Improved focalization and steering functionality.
  • The ability to go beyond 64 elements for linear and matrix probes

What the Experts Use

A portable yet powerful solution, the speed and versatility of the OmniScan™ X4 multitechnology series boosts your productivity while increasing confidence in your assessments. Exploit its advanced phased array capabilities, efficient total focusing method (TFM), and innovative phase coherence imaging (PCI) to detect and interpret challenging flaws and secure the integrity of your assets by identifying damage earlier.

Proven to Perform, Trusted to Deliver

Each OmniScan X4 unit is a complete multitechnology inspection toolbox, enabling you to exploit multiple ultrasonic testing techniques. Leverage its detection and measurement capabilities to accurately identify and evaluate the severity of damage before it becomes critical, protecting welds, components, and assets most susceptible to cracking or corrosion.

Engineered for Speed and Simplicity

Performing phased array, TOFD, TFM, and PCI is straightforward and intuitive on the OmniScan X4 series. Inspectors of any experience level can exploit these techniques with increased efficiency and more confidence utilizing the simple step-by-step scan plan and application presets.

Convenient Application Presets

Improve the learning curve and increase the reliability and consistency of inspections between operators with the OmniScan X4 application presets. Even low-level users and new users can produce an optimal PA or PCI configuration within minutes.

With options for corrosion and composite inspections, these preprogrammed parameters simplify scanning setups using HydroFORM™, FlexoFORM™, and RollerFORM™ scanners, and you can adjust the settings as needed.

Ease Complex Configurations

The OmniScan X4 scan plan’s intuitive step-by-step 3D graphics ease your inspection setups, from the most basic to the most complex.

When setting up your raster scan plan, the scan axes can be customed named and you can create a datum reference point relative to the asset. These real-world references as well as the true orientation correction, greatly ease the creation of an intuitive schematic representation of the inspection data for your report.
