Olympus Introduces a Powerful Ultrasound Phased Array Solution for Easy
Integration with Automated and Semiautomated Inspection Systems
Olympus, a world leader in nondestructive testing technologies, has released
a powerful phased array solution developed for easy integration with
automated and semiautomated inspection systems. This advanced solution
includes the new FOCUS PX, a powerful and scalable acquisition unit;
FocusPC, a comprehensive data acquisition and analysis software program;
and two software development kits, FocusControl and FocusData.
The new FOCUS PX acquisition instrument incorporates the latest phased
array ultrasound technology resulting in significantly improved signal-to-
noise ratio. Its scalable architecture enables up to four units to be driven in
parallel, providing minimized inspection time on complex-shaped
geometries. The FOCUS PX is a rugged, fanless unit designed for integration
in harsh production environments. The IP-65 rated FOCUS PX hardware
design also has convenient built-in mounting points designed for easy
integration.
Acquisition software FocusPC 1.0 and software development kits (SDKs),
consisting of FocusControl and FocusData software, facilitate the
development of application-specific interface programs to control the
FOCUS PX. The software development kits enable the inspection process to
be fully automated, optimizing cycle time, and improving overall system
efficiency.
The phased array instrumentation solution with the new FOCUS PX is
developed to meet the demands of many manufacturers that are faced with
the need to increase their inspections speed due to higher production levels.
This is particularly relevant in aerospace and defense, transportation, oil and
gas, and metal fabrication industries. With the new powerful phased array
instrumentation solution from Olympus, these manufacturers now have
access to a high-performance solution that can perform stringent
inspections while minimizing cycle time in order to optimize production.
