Overview

The Sonatest XEO redefines portable Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) by providing the raw computing capability of an advanced benchtop system inside a highly rugged, field-ready instrument. Built on three core pillars Simplicity, Capability, and Reliability the XEO leverages high-speed hardware data processing alongside an ultra-intuitive wizard-guided interface.

Designed to accommodate the future of NDT, it features an open data file format (.ONDE) ready for AI integration and system automation, along with a robust remote API for streamlined workflow synchronization. Whether navigating intricate T-joints, pipelines, or flat plates, the XEO ensures non-destructive testing specialists can validate configurations and capture flaw characteristics instantly and confidently.

Key Features

Simultaneous Multi-Technique Scanning:

Optimize your probability of detection (POD) by running up to 10 PAUT scans, up to 4 TOFD scans, and up to 8 TFM/TFMi™ scans simultaneously within the exact same setup configuration.

Ultra-High Resolution TFM Imaging:

Capture exceptional defect profile fidelity with live imaging speeds across 16 built-in TFM propagation algorithms, delivering crystal-clear scans up to 4 megapixels per image via Sparse Matrix Capture (SMC) hardware acceleration.

Live Onboard 3D Ray Tracing:

Ensure maximum physical inspection coverage with interactive, true geometry 3D live rendering for sectorial and linear scanning directly on-screen.

Interchangeable Mini-Dock Architecture:

Smart-detection interchangeable mini-docks adapt to custom configurations, letting you swap hardware-level channel interfaces seamlessly in the field.

Technical Specs
