Description
The Panther product range combines speed and performance of phased-array ultrasound technology in a compact format. Targeted towards integrators for inline inspections and laboratories for R&D, Panther products offer a flexible and scalable solution for generic and custom NDT.
REAL-TIME TOTAL FOCUSING METHOD (TFM) FOR HIGH SPEED INSPECTION
Recognized amongst the highest-resolution PAUT techniques, TFM is natively implemented on Panther. Combined with unparalleled data throughput, Panther offers faster imaging of larger inspection zones for easier evaluation.
COMPACT, RUGGED & SCALABLE
From 32:128 to 2048:2048 configurations, Panther compact units are scalable for automated inspection. With up to 16 units used in parallel, Panther offers a substantial increase in inspection speed.
• Unlimited number of probes
• Unlimited number of groups
• Up 13k+ focal laws
Panther is IP54. Its casing has external fans for optimized heat dissipation with no air intake.
FASTEST DATA THROUGHPUT
Uniquely equipped with a 320MB/s high-speed link, Panther offers the fastest data throughput of the market.
