PROCEQ

Correct, complete, precise and reusable inspection data is key for ensuring the integrity of components and infrastructure. Proceq UT8000 represents a breakthrough in inspections with ultrasonic testing for detecting flaws such as cracks and voids in metals and composites.

Proceq UT8000 represents a breakthrough in inspections with ultrasonic testing for detecting flaws such as cracks and voids in metals and composites. The Swiss Made, rugged, IP67-rated base unit is built for extreme levels of portability and comfort, from the benchtop of your lab to rope inspections in the toughest of places. Thanks to its sophisticated electronics that deliver cutting-edge bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio, you can keep your probes and procedures.

Connect the powerful base unit to your iPad and get to the real work faster. Our Proceq Flaw Detector Live app enhances your productivity with intelligent software features, such as the straightforward, gesture-driven calibration procedure, the built-in indication table, and the ability to rewind time for each indication. Review your measurements and communicate findings and insights enriched with voice, photo, and text annotations that deliver end-to-end traceability and peace of mind.

The brilliant UT8000 Live software is available for Apple iPad devices, with unique market leading features such as a comprehensive logbook, time rewind to record echo dynamics and the fastest DAC curve on any device. 

The power to rewind time
Proceq UT8000 is the first ultrasonic instrument ever to integrate a time-rewinding feature. No more searching for the highest peak once you have detected an event—simply rewind the data and select the A-Scan signal you wish to report with ease. Thanks to this feature, you will not miss any important inspection details and your work will be flawless.

Unparalleled connectivity
The powerful, user-friendly Proceq Flaw Detector Live app for iPad together with the powerful, wireless Proceq UT8000 Base Unit make it possible to perform real-time, on-site data analysis and sharing, enabling collaboration with your peers off-site, like no other product in its category.

Flexibility in all aspects, built for the future
Proceq UT8000 wirelessly connects to its app for iPad, enabling instant imaging on a high-resolution touchscreen from 7.9 up to 12.9 inches—simply choose whichever size best suits your application and environment. This makes Proceq UT8000 the conventional Ultrasonic Flaw Detector solution with the crispest display in the industry and with refresh rates that are finally rival those of analog UT systems.

Future-proof traceability
The built-in Logbook tracks all measurements and changes to ensure traceability of the inspection procedure. You can save the geolocation, add text and audio comments as well as pictures to document your findings and insights. Real data can be exported in a format that can be used for Machine Learning. This enables data scientists in your organization to build up a database of indications, kick-start your own Automated Defect Detection project, and reduce false calls. 

Pick up and use, as easy as your smartphone
Touch-based calibration wizards make calibration of DAC, TGC, AWS fast, and spell the end of frustrating and cluttered menus. Our clear menu structure has been optimized for one-handed use, so that you can quickly find the settings you need to ensure shortest time-to-results and an efficient and smooth working process, end-to-end.
