Description

The veo Phased Array ultrasonic flaw detector upholds Sonatest’s reputation for innovative technician focussed product development. The veo’s simple controls, superior performance, advanced features and rugged enclosure deliver all that the operator needs in the field. Ultrasonic Phased Array technology has become the established method for advanced NDT testing applications which typically include Weld Inspection, Corrosion Mapping, Aerospace and Composite Testing
The veo’s robust design, intuitive user interface and extensive online help brings the power of Phased Array to the field based technician.
The menu system is intuitive and 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.
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. Using the latest computer technology data can be permanently recorded for processing and report generation.
