The flaw detector that
fits in with results that stand out...
Quebec,
Canada, May 2, 2023 – Eddyfi
Technologies, a leading manufacturer of advanced inspection technology
equipment, proudly announces the launch of Panther™ 2, the
ultimate solution for the fastest and most versatile industrial inspections
with phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) and total focusing method (TFM). Featuring new electronics and a signature black redesign, the
next-generation Panther is built
to perfection and built for perfection, standing up to
even the harshest industrial environments.
NDT inspection should not be the bottleneck
in the production cycle as productivity is key. With tremendous processing power and high data throughput between the
instrumentation and monitoring computer, Panther 2 meets the speed and
resolution requirements of the most demanding applications. It is scalable up
to 16 stackable units working together for up to 2,048 channels.
“Inspection quality or the minimum size
of the indications being detected, leaves much to be desired, and the TFM
technique can help but the inspection speed needs to be compatible with the
expected productivity of automated systems. Panther 2 provides ultra-fast modes
for higher productivity, fast and robust data throughput for uninterrupted
productivity, and industrial speed for TFM. The complete TFM toolbox includes
access to elementary A-scans for online or offline TFM processing. Everyone
will benefit from improved inspection capabilities with more accurate sizing
that can reduce the oversizing of indications and in the aftermath reduce their
costs.” – Thierry Couturier, Product Manager
The acquisition software, Acquire™, is fully compatible with CIVA and ULTIS software
for simulation, experimentation, and advanced analysis. Panther 2 is also
compatible with Capture™ software, typically found embedded on Eddyfi
Technologies’ Gekko® and Mantis™ portable PAUT instruments. For service providers, Panther 2 provides self-explanatory images
for their clients, which can help facilitate communication without requiring a
high level of NDT expertise. Panther 2 offers a complete software ecosystem
that provides flexibility at your fingertips with a software development kit
(SDK) readily available. One can easily automate inspection with access to raw
data with the SDK. This compatibility makes it easy for users to
integrate Panther 2 into their existing inspection systems.
“I particularly
appreciate the flexibility of Acquire combined with the power of the Panther.
Acquire allows you to develop new techniques, like PWI/pitch and catch, from
concept to qualification which has not been available on any other platform
until now.” – Laurent Le Ber,
Non-Destructive Testing Engineer, Naval Group
Available for purchase
now, Panther 2 is the unmatched industrial PAUT/TFM predator in terms of speed,
reliability, and ease of data interpretation for quality revealed faster. Whether you are working in metallurgy, aerospace, power generation,
or rail and automotive industries, Panther
2 has the speed and versatility to meet your inspection needs.
