FLAW DETECTORS

CLASSIC ULTRASONIC FLAW DETECTORS
WAVE Ultrasonic flaw detector
Overview
The WAVE interactive flaw detector integrates the latest technologies available in order to create a revolution in the ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment market.
Features
Interactive Scan Plan
The WAVE interactive scan plan has been developed to ease diagnostics on the inspected part. The scan plan can reproduce complex geometries such a Curved parts and T-joints. Combined with a real-time Raytracer, this unique feature facilitates the distinction between a real flaw and a geometrical indication. Thus avoiding unnecessary repair.
Import Custom Parts
The WAVE can import a custom part in the interactive scan plan. This feature enables the user to visualise sound propagation in complex geometries. All the benefit of the Interactive Scan Plan remains with the addition of removing the limitations that come with predefine parts.
UTouch Technology
UTouch Technology allows your device to operate in the same way as a mobile phone. Combined with rugged components and an intelligent algorithm which makes the distinction between couplant and finger.
Application Concept
The WAVE appliction concept combines conformity and performance which allows the operator to customise the user interface according to their specific procedure.
The intuitive user interface with an easy to use display will guarantee workflow optimisationas well as preventing potential operational errors.
WAVE Companion
The WAVE Companion software offers an evironment where dedicated predefined applications setups are created and uploaded to WAVE platform.
Once created, the new app setups are transferred and installed on the unit via wired (USB-C / ethernet) or wireless network. The default app allows access to all functionalities and features where the user can modify the entire settings.
Next generation technology at your fingertips
What if you could tailor the settings on your UT device and alter it to your own process and people’s needs? An instrument where all the useful parameters are pre-set and available in less than two clicks? Now you can. Introducing WAVE. It integrates the latest technologies available in order to create a revolution in the ultrasonic non-destructive testing equipment market. Not only is it innovative, but the customisable interface also optimises the daily workflow, and a unique and embedded interactive scan plan, with ray-tracing capability, simulation tools and CAD import capability, consolidates your results. Its wifi capability allows you to access it anywhere in the field, eases data transfer, application installation and manages calibration date and software version.
Mitigate false calls with the new WAVE Interactive Scan Plan
The WAVE Interactive Scan Plan has been developed to ease diagnostics on the inspected part. The scan plan can reproduce complex geometries such as curved surfaces and T-Joints. Combined with a real-time Raytracer, this unique feature facilitates the distinction between a real flaw and a geometrical indication, thus avoiding unnecessary repair.
Manage Your Wave with the Wave Companion
The WAVE Companion is a software that is included with the WAVE.It enables users to manage WAVE’S applications, data and can be used to import custom geometries. The communication between the computer and the WAVE is only performed by connecting both to the same network. Users can also customize an application’s interface by hiding, locking, and moving the tiles (menus) of the WAVE to simplify inspection workflow and mitigate errors.
WAVE UTouch Technology
The Sonatest UTouch Technology allows your device to operate in the same way as a mobile phone. Combined with rugged components and an intelligent algorithm which makes the distinction between couplant and finger, the Sonatest WAVE is the first true industrial touch-screen device on the market.
