Phased Array Instrumentation Designed for Demanding Inspections
Olympus offers a complete advanced phased array integration solution that meets the requirements of your most demanding customers. The solution includes the FOCUS PX, a powerful and scalable acquisition unit; FocusPC, a powerful data acquisition and analysis software program; and three software development kits (SDK), FocusControl, FocusData, and OpenView SDK, to customize your software interface based on your application and control FocusPC for a fully automated inspection solution. |
FOCUS PX Instrument
Excellent Signal QualityThe FOCUS PX provides excellent phased array signal quality using the latest Olympus technology, resulting in significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio. | Up to 12 dBSNR improvements | Up to 4dedicated UT channels |
Fast ProgrammingThe optimized FOCUS PX communication process significantly reduces programming time, resulting in minimized cycle time and improved operator experience.
|
Up to 40 °Coperating temperature | Rated IP65 |
Easy Integration
The FOCUS PX bumpers can be easily removed to access four screw holes for mounting the unit directly onto a scanner or inspection system.
Simple Cabling Multiple FOCUS PX units can be synchronized with each other through a simple cable configuration. This allows all I/O signals to be received by one unit, reducing cabling and greatly simplifying the overall integration. | Easy Mounting Easy and quick installation allows the FOCUS PX to be positioned much closer to the probes, reducing cabling and optimizing signal quality. Four screw holes are available for mounting the unit directly onto any inspection scanner. |

Powerful Acquisitions FeaturesFocusPC contains high-performance acquisition features that maximize the FOCUS PX performances and optimize inspection speed. FocusPC can drive up to four FOCUS PX units in parallel, enabling advanced multiprobe configurations and further reducing cycle time. Easy Connection The FOCUS PX seamlessly connects to any computer that has FocusPC installed, greatly simplifying the configuration process. Advanced Analysis ToolsAdvanced analysis tools are available in FocusPC so that you can get the most out of your FOCUS PX inspection data. Use the advanced data processing algorithms to extract valuable information and make the analysis process more efficient. |
Fully Customizable Displays
FocusPC has fully customizable displays that can be adapted to better serve specific application requirements. Each view also has multiple customizable options, optimizing user experience and operator efficiency. Freely subdivide and reorganize the different views to create optimized setup, acquisition, and analysis layouts.
Software Development Kits (SDK)
In addition to the FocusPC acquisition software, Olympus offers three software development kits (SDK), FocusControl, FocusData, and OpenView SDK, to customize your software interface based on your application and control FocusPC for a fully automated inspection solution.
OpenView SDKFor applications that require specific features or a specific interface not offered by our standard software, the OpenView SDK enables you to create your own interface with the features required for your application. OpenView SDK is compatible with InspectionWare from UTEX and the HaroUT LabView library from Harotek. | Application-Dedicated User InterfaceBuild dedicated user interfaces based on the application requirements and make the inspection process more efficient. This provides better system workflow control and helps reduce the chance of operator-related mistakes. |
