Multi-channel ultrasonic imaging system
28/09/2021
Screening Eagle has introduced what it claims is the world’s most powerful, yet lightest, multi-channel ultrasonic imaging system: the Pundit PD8050.
The Pundit PD8050 was released to complement Screening Eagle’s multi-technology portfolio and improve the safety of concrete buildings, bridges and structures. The multi-technology approach is the key to having the full picture in terms of information needed to accurately access the health condition of concrete. With this unique ultrasonic imaging system, users benefit from high-resolution 3D imaging, artificial intelligence and augmented reality for superior data clarity.
Screening Eagle has been leading the way for preventative inspections and maintenance of the built environment and the release of the Pundit PD8050 enables this initiative in more sustainable, eco-friendly ways.
After listening to its customers, the company developed the sensor to be 30% lighter than previous Pundit ultrasound models. This first-of-its-kind innovation will benefit many inspection engineers who may have to carry several technologies on site, such as ultrasound and ground-penetrating radar (GPR). They can be more agile, completing the job faster and with a richer set of inspection data.
Some unique applications of the Pundit PD8050 include: detecting voids and delaminations; measuring the thickness of tunnel linings; defect detection in mass concrete nuclear containment structures; detecting poorly grouted tensioning ducts; and concrete strength and uniformity testing.
Combined with the Pundit Live Array app, the PD8050’s artificial intelligence (AI) positioning system and immediate data visualisation with 2D, 3D, heat map and augmented reality (AR) views allow users to expand their inspection capabilities. The ever-evolving software is fully integrated with Screening Eagle Workspace and is set for some further updates later this year.
