WAVE - Interactive Flaw Detector: Ultrasonic NDT Reinvented

Introducing the WAVE Interactive Flaw Detector by Sonatest, a revolutionary leap in ultrasonic non-destructive testing. This isn't just a flaw detector; it's an intelligent, customizable, and intuitive platform designed to simplify complex inspections, optimize workflows, and deliver unparalleled diagnostic capabilities. The WAVE integrates the latest technologies to transform how you approach NDT, making it a critical asset for industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to power generation and oil & gas.

Redefining Inspection Through Interactive Intelligence

At the heart of the WAVE is its groundbreaking Interactive Scan Plan. This unique embedded feature, combined with a real-time Raytracer, allows operators to visualize sound propagation within complex geometries in real-time. Whether inspecting curved surfaces, T-joints, crown, root geometries, or even custom CAD-imported parts, the scan plan helps to accurately distinguish between real flaws and geometrical indications, significantly reducing false calls and preventing unnecessary repairs. The Projected A-Scan further enhances visualization, offering true depth information on intricate shapes.

Customizable Workflow with Application Concept

The WAVE introduces an innovative Application Concept, allowing you to tailor the user interface and instrument settings precisely to your specific inspection procedures and operator needs. Create and upload up to 50 customized applications using the intuitive WAVE Companion software. This means useful parameters can be pre-set and available in as few as two clicks, minimizing training time, preventing operational errors, and optimizing daily workflow for a lean manufacturing philosophy. Specific menus or settings can be hidden or locked, ensuring conformity and performance according to your exact requirements.

Next-Generation Technology at Your Fingertips

The WAVE features Sonatest UTouch Technology, a P-CAP multi-touch screen that operates like a mobile phone. This intelligent touchscreen distinguishes between ultrasonic couplant and a finger, ensuring responsive and accurate control even in challenging environments.

Beneath its sleek interface, the WAVE boasts formidable technical specifications:

• High Processing Power: Driven by advanced internal architecture for rapid and stable readings.

• Display: Large 7.0-inch Multi-touch LCD TFT with 1024 x 600 resolution, highly readable even in sunlight.
