Outcome summary

Michele Nunno, founder of Michele Solutions, designed the software of a flaw detector: A, B, C and S scan images, a rotating screen and automatic report generation, in an instrument that does both conventional ultrasound and phased array.

Starting situation

The client is an Italian company in ultrasonic testing. Its portable flaw detector combines conventional ultrasound and phased array in a single unit, so inspectors can find internal discontinuities in materials and structures faster and get a visual result. An instrument like this is only as good as its software: acquiring the signal, showing it clearly and producing a record the inspector can trust.

The system

  • On-board software of the instrument, with the phased-array probe forming a scanning field for flaw visualisation.
  • Four imaging modes: A-, B-, C- and S-scan.
  • A rotating screen, so the instrument works for left-handed operators too.
  • Automatic report generation.

Implementation

The on-board software of the instrument was developed between 2010 and 2012.
