With hundreds of units used throughout the world, the R/D Tech OmniScan MX is Olympus NDT's most successful modular and portable phased array and eddy current array test unit. The OmniScan family includes the innovative phased array and eddy current array test units, as well as the eddy current and conventional ultrasound modules, all designed to meet the most demanding requirements of NDT. The OmniScan MX offers a high acquisition rate and powerful software features in a portable, modular mainframe to efficiently perform manual and automated inspections.

Rugged, Portable, and Battery-Operated
The OmniScan™ is built to work in the harshest field conditions. Its solid polycarbonate-based casing and rubber bumpers make it a rugged instrument that can withstand drops and shocks.
The OmniScan is so compact and lightweight (only 4.6 kg) that it can be carried easily and handled anywhere inside or outside. The OmniScan will run 6 hours with its two Li-ion batteries.

User Interface
The highly legible 8.4-inch real-time display (60-Hz A-scan refresh rate) with a SVGA resolution of 800 x 600 allows you to clearly see defects and details under any light conditions. A scroll knob and function keys make it easy to browse through and select functions. A mouse and a keyboard can also be plugged in for users looking for a more PC-like interface.

Modular Platform
The instrument is a modular platform that allows you to switch among its different test modules on location. The platform detects the new module and the technology supported so that the configuration and test environment are set automatically.

OmniScan Connector

The OmniScan connector has a probe ID feature that enables physical detection and recognition of the probe connected to the mainframe.

Sets the probe to an appropriate frequency to prevent probe damage.
Sets C-scan resolution of ECA probes.
Loads the correct probe parameters.
