Description
The Novascan V3 is the most powerful phased array flaw detector in the Novascan family. A 200 V pulse voltage and an exceptionally wide 0.18–27 MHz bandwidth give more faithful signal reproduction than the lower models. The instrument integrates a full set of techniques: conventional UT, TFM (FMC / PWI / 3D), PCI (FMC / PWI) and TOFD. TFM imaging works in real time with the option to export FMC data, and the AIM sound field map makes it possible to optimise the settings and raise inspection sensitivity.
Key features
- Higher performance — 200 V pulse voltage, ultra-wide 0.18–27 MHz bandwidth, more faithful signal reproduction
- Full technology integration — UT, TFM (FMC / PWI / 3D), PCI (FMC / PWI) and TOFD
- Real-Time Imaging & AIM — real-time TFM with FMC data export; AIM sound field map for optimised settings and higher sensitivity
- Industrial construction — IP65 protection, WiFi and Bluetooth, open architecture for in-house development; includes all functions of the V2 model
