Portable ultrasonic flaw detector
30/01/2025
Danatronics has announced the launch of Echo Pro, its new portable ultrasonic flaw detector. Combining innovation with user-friendly functionality, Echo Pro is said to be the perfect solution for industry professionals seeking a reliable, intuitive portable instrument for flaw detection.
Echo Pro sets itself apart by offering dual operation modes: touchscreen and keypad, allowing users to choose based on their preference and application needs. Younger users appreciate the ease of touchscreens, where dragging a gate or adjusting gain with a simple swipe feels intuitive. However, touchscreens can sometimes present challenges, such as handling with
couplant-covered hands.
Other devices limit operators to keypad use only, often resulting in slower operation and a steeper learning curve. With Echo Pro, Danatronics combines both touchscreen and keypad options, delivering the best of both worlds. Whether tapping icons, dragging gates, adjusting range or utilising a responsive keypad with tactile feedback, Echo Pro provides the versatility needed.
The user experience is seamless, with both input methods providing fast, accurate performance. Best of all, the layout of the keypad allows for easy operation with a single thumb, optimising convenience without compromising functionality.
Echo Pro is designed for a wide range of ultrasonic flaw detection applications, including weld inspection, delaminations, porosity and disbond analysis. Echo Pro is utilised across industries such as oil & gas, refining, manufacturing, power generation, tank and pipeline inspection and thickness surveys.
The key features of Echo Pro include: a 7" sunlight-readable touchscreen display; colour change and vibrate on alarm; a durable, custom-designed case with IP67 rating; ten or more hours of continuous battery life; two gates, distance amplitude correction (DAC), time-variable gain (TVG), data logging and B-scan; peak pitch memory with audible chirp for signal peaking, which is claimed to be an industry first; four independent measurement boxes; automatic calibration; and it stores over 5000 set-ups for quick and repeatable testing.
Future upgrades are expected to include distance gain size (DGS), interface gate, floating gate, back-echo attenuator, extended range, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi compatibility.
