Once the tyre of the WP2 is filled with water, it becomes a portable encoded immersion inspection system, this significantly improves the accuracy of the overall inspection data compared to other contact PA methods. Moreover, as the encoder is fixed directly to the tyre of the WP2, it cannot slip on the surface causing missed or inaccurate data.

This system, combined with the recording capabilities of the Veo3, accelerates inspection productivity. Results can then be reviewed with the powerful UTstudio+ or with UTmap for more advanced automatic defect detection.

The WP2 comes with an option for 128 or 64 elements and a range of frequencies to enable you to choose the best solution for your application.
