The Tomoscan III is the most flexible and powerful ultrasound system available on the market. It can handle most,
if not all, automated ultrasound in-service inspections.
The Tomoscan III offers the most flexibility and power available in any automatic inspection system on the
market.
With flexible hardware and software that allow the interface of virtually any manipulator used in typical in-service
inspections, the Tomoscan III can be slave to controllers of complex scanners or, as in most cases, control the
inspection. |
