Olympus OmniScan SX Ultrasonic Flaw Detector

Olympus OmniScan SX: The Lightest and Most User-Friendly Flaw Detector

The Olympus OmniScan SX is a high-performance flaw detector that builds on more than 20 years of phased array expertise. Designed for simplicity and portability, the OmniScan SX is ideal for less demanding applications, offering a cost-effective solution without compromising performance. Its compact design and user-friendly interface make it the perfect tool for industrial inspections.

Key Advantages of OmniScan SX

Streamlined Interface and Touchscreen

Featuring an 8.4-inch (21.3 cm) touch screen, the OmniScan SX provides a clear and intuitive software interface. Single-group, non-modular design ensures easy operation and low maintenance costs.

Lightweight and Portable

• 33% lighter and 50% smaller than the OmniScan MX2

• Compact and portable design

• Ideal for field inspections requiring mobility

Models and Inspection Capabilities

The OmniScan SX comes in two models:

• SX PA: 16:64PR phased array with a conventional UT channel

• SX UT: UT-only with pulse-echo, pitch-catch, or TOFD inspection

These models support phased array weld inspections, corrosion mapping, TOFD weld inspections, and component inspections.

Setup and Configuration

Inspection setups can be imported from NDT SetupBuilder via SD card or USB. Direct setup on the OmniScan SX is simplified through:

• Automatic probe recognition

• One-step, preconfigured application wizard

• Weld Overlay and RayTracing simulation

Calibration Wizard

Step-by-step guidance ensures code-compliant inspection:

• Velocity and Wedge Delay calibration

• Sensitivity, TCG, DAC, AWS, and encoder calibrations

• Automatic TOFD PCS calibration and lateral wave straightening

Data Acquisition

Easily configure inspections for manual, one-line, or raster encoded scans. Key acquisition features include:

• Real-time display with user-selectable views

• Hot-swappable SD card or USB 2.0 storage

• Intelligent layouts and full-screen mode

• Synchronization and measurement processing using multiple gates

Data Analysis and Reporting

The OmniScan SX supports extensive defect analysis:

• Cursors for defect sizing, reference, and measurement

• Database for trigonometry, flaw statistics, and volumetric information

• Interactive and automatically updated views

• Preconfigured layouts for fast defect sizing

Compatible with OmniPC or TomoView for advanced off-line analysis.

Applications

Phased Array Weld Inspection

The OmniScan SX provides reliable weld inspections for ASME, API, and other code compliance, with high-speed detection and clear indication interpretation.

Corrosion Mapping and Composite Inspection

Zero-degree inspections detect wall loss and anomalies efficiently in composites and corroded structures.

TOFD Weld Inspection

Fast and cost-effective technique for detecting and sizing weld defects within the volume of welds.

Component Inspection

Angle and linear zero-degree ultrasonic beams allow detection of cracks, wall loss, and other damages in components.
