Phased Array Upgrade to Inspection System
Midas-NDT have upgraded an immersion inspection system at Hexcel Composites in England. The system is now fully integrated with a phased array inspection instrument.
The system, manufactured by Meccasonics over twenty years ago, has been fitted with an Olympus NDT Omniscan instrument and Midas NDT data acquisition and evaluation software, the state-of-the-art package offering unparalleled capabilities under full control from the computer monitor.
Scanning at a speed of 40mm/sec and taking a 50mm swathe of data every 0.5mm along the length of the scan line, the system reduces scanning times to one tenth of those achieved when using conventional methods.
The acquired c-scan data can be evaluated by an operator using all the standard tools available within the Midas NDT Zeus v3 software package.
