OmniScan
®
MX
With thousands of units being used
throughout the world, the OmniScan MX is
Olympus NDT’s most successful portable
and modular phased array and eddy current
array test instrument. The OmniScan family
includes the innovative phased array and
eddy current array test modules, as well as
the conventional eddy current and ultra-
sound modules, all designed to meet the
most demanding NDT requirements. The
OmniScan MX offers a high acquisition
rate and powerful software features—in a
portable, modular instrument—to efficiently
perform manual and automated inspec-
tions.
Rugged, Portable, and
Battery Operated
The OmniScan is built to work in the harsh-
est field conditions. A solid polycarbonate-
based casing and rubber bumpers make it a
rugged instrument capable of withstanding
drops and shocks.
The OmniScan is so compact and light-
weight (only 4.6 kg, 10.1 lb) that it can
be carried easily and handled anywhere,
inside or outside. The OmniScan will run
for 6 hours with its two Li-ion batteries.
User Interface
The highly legible 8.4-inch real-time
display (60-Hz A-scan refresh rate) with an
SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 allows you
to clearly see defects and details under any
light conditions. A scroll knob and function
keys make it easy to browse through and
select functions. A mouse and keyboard
can also be connected for users looking for
a more PC-like interface.
Modular Instrument
The instrument allows you to switch be-
tween its different test modules on location.
When a new module is connected, the
instrument detects the module and its sup-
ported technology so that the configuration
and test environment are set automatically.
OmniScan Connector
The OmniScan connector has a probe ID
feature that enables physical detection and
recognition of the probe connected to the
instrument.
•
Sets the probe to an appropriate
frequency to prevent probe damage.
•
Sets C-scan resolution for ECA probes.
•
Loads the correct probe parameters.
