Ultrasonic Phased
Array Flaw Dectector
The veo Phased Array ultrasonic flaw detector
reinforces Sonatest’s reputation for innovative
technician focussed product development.
The veo’s simple controls, superior performance,
advanced features and rugged enclosure deliver
simplicity, capability and reliability to
the technician’s finger tips. Ultrasonic
Phased Array technology has become the established
method for advanced NDT testing applications.
Phased Array techniques allow the user to
control parameters such as beam angle and
focal distance to create an image of the
test part, enhancing defect detection and
speed of testing. In addition using the
latest computer technology data can be permanently
recorded for processing and report generation.
The veo’s robust design, intuitive user
interface and extensive online help brings
the power of Phased Array to the field based
technician. Typical applications include
Weld Inspection, Corrosion Mapping, Aerospace
and Composite testing.

Simplicity
The
intuitive menu system is application
and workflow driven, with set up
and operation swiftly becoming second
nature. Integrated Help and Wizards
guide the user through scan set
up whilst Optimisation Tips ensure
the veo always performs at the highest
level. The unique 3D ScanPlan view
gives immediate visual confirmation
of correct set up and ultrasound
coverage, even in complex multi-probe
applications.
Fast and efficient wizards for sound
velocity, wedge delay, TCG, DAC,
TOFD setup and Encoder calibration
are all provided as standard. Clear
indication of the calibration status
is provided on screen via a simple
traffic light system, so that operators
can check at a glance that the veo
is calibrated for the inspection
task.
Menu navigation uses Sonatest’s
second generation scroll wheel technology
for fast parameter selection, with
shortcut keys for the most used
functions and alphanumeric entry.
The familiar Start, Stop and Record
keys switch quickly between set
up, acquisition and recording modes. |

Capability
The powerful veo platform unlocks
a new level of performance in a
portable instrument, helping you
to maximize your efficiency on-site.
The Inspection Plan shows the operator
in 2D and 3D where probes are positioned
on the test part, simplifying the
inspection setup and providing an
inspection reference for reporting.
All adjustments to focal laws are
instantaneous, with angle resolution
to 0.10 and up to 1024 focal laws
without loss of performance. Multiple
scans from different probes may
be displayed and evaluated at the
same time. Multiple sectorial scans,
top, side and end view extractions
plus CScans are all supported by
the veo. TOFD and Phased array inspections
can be carried out in tandem at
full scanning speed and with up
to 2GB data files large areas can
be inspected more efficiently. Full
resolution waveform data is stored
directly to a removable USB data
key for ease of back up and transfer
to PC.
The veo has two dedicated mono element
flaw detection channels for conventional
UT inspection. Based on Sonatest’s
Masterscan flaw detectors the channels
have 400 V pulsers, Time Corrected
Gain and low noise amplifiers, for
the most demanding applications.
An impressive hardware specification
provides the user with high quality
ultrasonic data via a full 16 bit
high speed architecture and 12 bit
ADC technology whilst digital signal
processing based smoothing and averaging
enhances image interpretation.
Measurement and sizing of indications
can be quickly achieved through
the use of advanced measuring tools
such as Hyperbolic Cursors for TOFD
and Peak Signal measurements from
the 2D cursors. Reports can be quickly
generated on board and stored as
PDFs to the USB data key.
For any flaw detector the display
is a crucial element. The Sonatest
veo has a colour transflective TFT
LCD, providing high visibility in
all conditions, with the highest
display to size ratio ofany field
instrument. |
