Overview

Product overview

TOPAZ64 is a portable ultrasonic inspection instrument combining a 64/128PR phased array configuration with two separate conventional UT channels at 200V. It supports code-compliant PAUT and TOFD inspections, with applications including thick welds, corrosion mapping, composites and complex components.

The instrument supports full matrix capture (FMC) or plane wave imaging (PWI) excitation with up to 64 elements and real-time total focusing method (TFM) imaging. TFM resolution reaches up to 1M points per frame, while frame rates reach up to 110 Hz at 65k points per frame. Its multi-mode capability allows two FMC acquisitions, up to four TFM reconstructions per FMC, phased array and TOFD to operate simultaneously.

Onboard UltraVision software provides focal law calculation with visual feedback, volumetric merging, measurement tools and interactive help. Raw FMC data can be saved in encoded mode, and recorded elementary A-scans can be used for subsequent TFM processing without rescanning. The software also supports 2D matrix arrays in pulse-echo, pitch-and-catch or multi-probe configurations and offers remote control.

A rugged casing without an air intake and a glove-operable multi-touch display support use in demanding environments. The instrument has hot-swappable batteries and 256 GB SSD storage, with operation specified from -10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F).

Key Features

Key capabilities

64-channel PAUT

A 64/128PR phased array configuration works alongside two separate conventional UT channels at 200V.

Live TFM imaging

Real-time TFM delivers up to 1M points per frame or up to 110 Hz at 65k points per frame.

Simultaneous inspection modes

Two FMC acquisitions with up to four TFM per FMC can run alongside phased array and TOFD.

Raw data recording

Raw FMC data can be saved in encoded mode for record keeping or subsequent TFM processing without rescanning.

Bipolar pulsers

150Vpp bipolar pulsers provide additional energy for penetration through thick components.

Onboard analysis

UltraVision includes focal law calculation, volumetric merging, measurement tools and interactive help.

Glove-operable display

The 307 mm (12.1 in) high-resolution multi-touch display can be operated with gloves.

Rugged construction

The casing has no air intake and is designed for demanding environments.
