Olympus has developed a versatile phased array solution for weld inspections. The PV-200 solution uses a variety of techniques to achieve a productive and efficient inspection. Phased array technology allows the scanner to adapt to different weld inspections without changing the probe position. This dramatically reduces setup time and eliminates many of the mechanical components needed with conventional ultrasonic probes. Fewer mechanical parts means fewer mechanical failures.

Fast setup without manual probe adjustment
Easy adjustment of ultrasonic parameters
Smaller, more versatile scanners easily adjust to different weld configurations.
Complete weld coverage in a single pass

The PV-200 solution brings together an Olympus acquisition unit, scanner, probes, and software tailored to your needs. The acquisition unit controls all the multielement-probe channels. The software is equipped with a dedicated calculator that guides you when changing beam angles, depth, and focus without moving the probe. Length and depth sizing for code acceptance /rejection is performed at the time of the inspection and results are recorded rapidly.

PV-200 attributes

Inspect immediately after welding to help you monitor the welding process.
Detect and size vertical defects using TOFD and tandem techniques (requires instrument with P-R option).
Maximize the probability of detection (POD) with controlled focusing.
Create an automatic setup procedure for any weld profile.
Reduce data analysis and reporting time.
Many inspection parameters such as weld profile are accommodated in software offering improved flexibility.
