Product catalog summary
Overview: The Gekko is a state-of-the-art phased-array flaw detector that integrates multiple non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques, including conventional UT, PAUT, TOFD, and real-time Total Focusing Method (TFM). It features a 64-channel parallel architecture and is designed for ease of use across various inspection scenarios.
Key Features:
  • Complete Toolset: Supports conventional and phased-array probes, with onboard delay law calculations and a fast SSD for large file storage and analysis.
  • User Interface: Intuitive interface with wizards and visual libraries to reduce errors and streamline inspections.
  • Guided Inspection: Step-by-step guidance for equipment definition, calibration, and acquisition, with 3-click calibration tools for various parameters.
  • Weld and Nozzle Inspection: Features such as weld overlays and 3D corrected images enhance flaw detection and sizing. Supports 3-axis encoded nozzle inspections.
  • Corrosion Mapping: Real-time data display for corrosion detection, with Cscan amplitude and time of flight available.
  • Real-Time TFM: Offers high-resolution imaging with up to 30 frames per second, focusing on accurate defect characterization.
Specifications:
  • Phased-Array: Maximum active aperture of 64 elements, supporting various scanning modes and up to 2,048 delay-laws.
  • Real-Time TFM: Supports up to 64 elements with a maximum refresh rate of 80fps and multiple resolution levels.
  • Pulsers and Receivers: Features negative square pulse with adjustable width and high voltage range, with input impedance and frequency range specifications.
  • Digitizer and Acquisition: 16-bit amplitude resolution, real-time averaging, and data compression capabilities.
  • General: Compact design with a 10.4’’ touchscreen, operating temperature range from -10°C to 45°C, and designed for IP66.
Applications:
  • Screw Thread Inspection: Optimal resolution along threads for defect detection.
  • Hydrogen Blistering Characterization: Detection of small defects in carbon steel specimens.
  • Composite Inspection: 3-axis polar scanner motion for X, Y Cscan data acquisition.
Standards and Compliance: Complies with EN ISO 18563-1 for phased array channels and EN ISO 12668-1 for conventional channels.

HIGH-RESOLUTION FLAW DETECTOR For unparalleled resolution detection and characterization, Gekko offers the real-time Total Focusing Method (TFM) imaging. TFM is a powerful technique that focuses at each point of a user-specified zone for accurate defect characterization and high-resolution imaging. Realtime imaging with speed of up to 30 frames per second can be achieved, for clear image and defect contouring. The TFM has a 256x256 pixels image resolution (65K points focusing). EXTENDED TFM IMAGES A-B-S-C Scan + 3D views are already available for standard PA. Gekko extends all those views to...
