Fast phased array system

Bending to perfection.

FAAST II is a UT phased array system designed for high- speed testing applications and production lines and able to replace more than ten conventional phased array systems working in parallel. FAAST II patented linear pulsing generator allows multi- beams transmission in one single shot throughout 1D linear multi-element probe. As an example, the first industrial application being built by Socomate and using this method is an ultrasonic rail testing car providing in-track inspection at a speed of 100km/h with only one 1D multi-element probe. The most important industrial applications are tube and pipe testing in high-speed production lines fromwhich FAAST II is able to detect and process in real-time all orientated reflectors in one shot with 2D matrix array probes. The FAAST II system is compatible with any type of standard multi-element probes as well as with active probes embedding Socomate International Electronics with pulser, preamp and multiplexer.
