OmniScan X3 64: Next-Generation Flaw Detector with Advanced Focusing Performance

The OmniScan X3 64 represents a major leap forward in ultrasonic inspection technology. Engineered within the rugged and field-proven OmniScan X3 enclosure, this model delivers powerful focusing capabilities supported by a larger element-aperture design. With full utilization of 64-element phased array probes and 128-element TFM aperture, the OmniScan X3 64 is built to tackle inspections on thick, attenuative materials while enabling new procedure development across a wider range of industrial applications.

Advancements Through MXU Software Updates

New .nde Data Format with MXU 5.11

With the release of MXU 5.11, OmniScan X3 and X3 64 units transition from the .odat file format to the modern .nde format. This marks the beginning of a new standardized direction for NDT data handling, which will be adopted across future Evident hardware and software platforms.

Enhanced B-Scan Viewing with MXU 5.13

MXU 5.13 introduces an innovative B-scan view that changes the way weld screening is performed. Instead of scrolling endlessly through B-scans, the new display simplifies validation, improves confidence in interpretation, and reduces operator fatigue.

Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI) Added in MXU 5.10

With the MXU 5.10 software update, the OmniScan X3 64 gains access to Phase Coherence Imaging (PCI). This advanced inspection technique enables clearer and more sensitive TFM images, improving small-defect detection in real time.

A Significant Step Forward for TFM Technology

The evolution of total focusing method (TFM) represents a major milestone for phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT). Devices like the OmniScan X3 64 bring the next generation of resolution, speed, and penetration, making complex inspections faster and more accurate—even on challenging materials.

Enhanced Small-Defect Detection with Live PCI

The amplitude-free live PCI capability enhances sensitivity to small flaws, improves penetration in noisy materials, and simplifies inspection setup. Available starting from MXU version 5.10, it significantly boosts analysis quality while keeping workflows efficient.

Advantages of 64-Pulser Phased Array

Superior Resolution at the Focal Point

With full 64-element capability, the OmniScan X3 64 delivers cleaner, higher-resolution phased array images at the focal point.

Improved Clarity Compared to 32-Channel Units

A 32-channel unit using a 64-element probe can only fire the central 32 elements, limiting resolution.
In contrast, the 64-element aperture on the X3 64 produces superior image quality, enabling operators to distinguish indications that are close together or appear in clusters.

Achieve Up to 4X Faster TFM Acquisition

The OmniScan X3 64 offers up to four times faster TFM acquisition when used with a 64-element probe. This performance boost significantly increases productivity, especially in thick welds or time-critical inspection environments.
