PAUT flaw detector with TFM
21/08/2020
As a world leader in advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions, Eddyfi Technologies has announced the release of the new M2M Mantis™ phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) flaw detector with total focusing method (TFM).Mantis is a robust and lightweight flaw detector offering ultrasonic testing (UT), PAUT, time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) and TFM through the streamlined user interface called Capture™. Based on a 16:64PR architecture with three different models, Mantis addresses both general and advanced applications without compromising on productivity.
Thierry Couturier, Product Manager, said of the flaw detector, which is the lightweight counterpart to the established M2M Gekko®: “Mantis is the ideal solution for applications such as high-speed corrosion mapping and butt weld and long seam weld inspection for composites commonly up to 5-20 mm or 0.25-0.8" thick. We really believe the new Mantis is a gamechanger, being a complete toolbox combining multiple technologies including advanced features.”
Mantis is one of the most robust and reliable industrial phased array instruments ever produced by Eddyfi Technologies, thanks to careful consideration of the highly durable materials chosen. Its rugged casing and bright resistive touchscreen enable outdoor use even in harsh conditions. Mantis has been designed for and passed stringent environmental and durability testing, including drop tests, all designed to simulate real-world situations.
“A lot of effort was made to listen to and understand what the needs in the field were. Our customers and operators are looking for increased efficiency and straightforward workflows in a modern, reliable and easy-to-operate system. Innovation is important to them; they want to make sure that the solution they choose will withstand the test of time and be able to deliver the results they expect. Mantis, paired with Capture software and our growing range of scanners, is the answer to those demands,” added Thierry.
Mantis is compatible with existing phased array probes (linear, dual-linear and dual-matrix array) and existing scanners (up to three encoder axes). It offers real-time full matrix capture (FMC)/TFM with up to 64 elements for code-compliant inspections.
