The new model addresses 128 probe elements for inspection and enables operators to connect larger single probes or multiple probes to the instrument. Aerospace composite inspection applications are enhanced using the 128 element capability; as several inspection techniques for advanced materials such as GLARE have now been developed which require high resolution probes with 96 or 128 elements. Further benefits to the new 16:128 veo include the capability of pitch-catch inspection techniques, merged c-scan inspections, top views and included UT Studio viewing and analysis software. Alongside this new instrument, Sonatest has also released a new range of phased array transducers called the X-Series. Within this range there are five application specific series, offering a broad choice in range and frequencies for the operator. These have been selected and constructed to match standard configurations and are compatible with Sonatest’s veo range and other phased array equipment. www.sonatestveo.com
