The Raptor is an All New category in Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors. The
Raptor is not only a contemporary high speed flaw detector BUT, also
INCLUDES a Full Featured C-Scan Imaging System within the same
package. Incorporating three 32 bit microprocessors, the Raptor offers
substantially more in capability than ANY conventional flaw detector
from ANY competitor. Press the Flaw Mode key and the Raptor
performs as any High Performance flaw detector would. Press the
Imaging key and the Raptor becomes a full featured Flaw Detector AND
Imaging System matching and in some cases exceeding the features of
imaging systems costing more than $40,000, at standard Flaw Detector
prices !! Why buy any "standard" flaw detector when you can rely on a
company offering 35 years of ultrasonic innovation.
Three-in-One Instrument
The Raptor is an all-in-one high resolution ultrasonic thickness gauge,
ultrasonic flaw detector and imaging flaw detector capable of driving a
range of manual and automatic scanners. As a high-speed ultrasonic
flaw detector, the Raptor is unique with it’s robust aluminium
construction, class leading 5kHz PRF, spike or tuneable square wave
pulser at 50V-450V and a large 5.7” sun readable screen all as standard.
Capable of operating in a frequency range from 0.5MHz to 30MHz it can
run single, dual, contact, angle, delay line and immersion transducers.
Data storage is through an SD Card for easy transfer and a field-
replaceable Li-ion battery gives 8 - 10 hours longevity. The display can
run in SplitView screen mode with auto tracking of the echo and a
simultaneous view of the B-Scan or C-Scan and the live A-trace.
The Raptor simply out-classes any ultrasonic flaw detector available
today!

Advanced NDT Ltd & NDT Systems, Inc., are once again pleased to
introduce a new and novel concept in Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors. The
Raptor ushers in a new category of Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors by
offering full imaging capability in a standard hand held flaw detector.
Not only is the RAPTOR a high performance flaw detector offering
features usually found on premium flaw detectors but it adds
functionality including C-Scan, Dual Axis B-Scan, 3D, Pan & Zoom,
Spreadsheet review mode and more.
Notable features of the RAPTOR Imaging Ultrasonic Flaw Detector:
• Fully sunlight readable 640x480 Pixel 5.7” VGA display. This display is
the absolute leading edge technology in commercial flat panel displays.
The viewing angle is 160 degrees in all axis making easy to view from
any angle. The intensity is also adjustable from 10%-100%
• Simple Direct Access Keys to major menu items.
• F1-F8 Context Sensitive Direct Access Keys
• Sync: IP or IF - 1st, 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd
• (- to -), (- to +), (+ to -) and (+ to +) Gating , either IP-1st, 1st to 2nd or IF
• Spike and Square Wave Pulsers are fully user adjustable. Spike voltage
up to 350V and Square wave voltage to 400v, from 10 to 10,000ns in 5ns
increments.
• Rep Rate is automated or can be user adjustable from 1Hz (ONE Hertz)
to 5KHz in
The RAPTOR also supports a growing list of available scanners from
simple manual scanners to full production oriented scanners
incorporating Stepper and Servo drives (via an optional external control
unit). There are even lightweight battery powered scanners available
providing controlled motion semi automated scanning capability. NO AC
Power is required. The battery powered scanners are powered via an
external battery pack incorporating the same battery as used in the
RAPTOR instrument. More information on the scanners further down
the page.

Advanced Imaging Capability
The power of an image cannot be understated and can significantly
speed up an inspection and help with interpretation. The images and
data produced and captured can prove invaluable for reports and
recording inspections. The images can be compared time after to time
to see the variations or non variations if any from previous inspections
etc. (ideal for corrosion surveys).The Raptor is compatible with a range
of manual and automatic scanners. The standard software can define
the scan area, index resolution and speed and displays the resulting
images live as they are generated. A full suite of software functions is
included for further analysis of the results, including B-Scan sections,
3D images, statistical tools for defect sizing and much more. The
scanner can also be positioned back to any point of interest. The
combined imaging system boasts an unmatched performance for a
very low price and is a perfect way to enter the world of imaging and
speed up inspection processes in hard to reach areas.
