Features
Interactive Scan Plan
The WAVE interactive scan plan has been developed to ease diagnostics on the inspected part. The scan plan can reproduce complex geometries such as Curved parts and T-Joints. Combined with a real-time Raytracer, this unique feature facilitates the distinction between a real flaw and a geometrical indication. Thus avoiding unnecessary repair.
Application Concept
The WAVE application concept combines conformity and performance which allows the operator to customise the user interface according to their specific procedure.
The intuitive user interface with an easy to use display will guarantee workflow optimisation as well as preventing potential operational errors.
UTouch Technology
UTouch Technology allows your device to operate in the same way as a mobile phone. Combined with rugged components and an intelligent algorithm which makes the distinction between couplant and finger.
WAVE Companion
The WAVE Companion software offers an environment where dedicated predefined applications setups are created and uploaded to Wave platform.
Once created, the new app setups are transferred and installed on the unit via wired (USB / ethernet) or wireless network. The default app allows access to all functionalities and features where the user can modify the entire settings.
Application Notes
Inspection of a Welded T-joint
The main types of T-joint welds are inspected with conventional UT, where common defects are generally cracks and lack of fusion. Having a better understanding of the defects can certainly help the technicians become more alert, especially when considering the main problematic areas.
