The Lightest and Most
User-Friendly OmniScan
OmniScan SX
Olympus is proud to introduce the OmniScan® SX, a flaw detector that benefits from more than 20 years of phased array
experience and shares the OmniScan DNA. For improved ease of use, the OmniScan SX features a new streamlined software
interface displayed on an 8.4 in. (21.3 cm) touch screen. A single-group and non-modular instrument, the OmniScan SX is
easy to operate and cost-effective for less demanding applications.
The OmniScan SX comes in two models: the SX PA and SX UT. The SX PA is a 16:64PR phased array unit, which, like the
UT-only SX UT, is equipped with a conventional UT channel for pulse-echo, pitch-catch or TOFD inspection. Compared to the
OmniScan MX2, the SX is 33% lighter and 50% smaller, offering an unprecedented level of portability for an OmniScan.
Setup Acquisition
Inspection setup can be performed in NDT SetupBuilder, The OmniScan SX enables easy configuration of inspection
and imported directly, via SD card or USB key, to the parameters for either manual, one-line, or raster encoded
OmniScan SX. Then, only a few basic operations are scans. The acquisition is displayed in real time through

range, before acquisition can begin. It is also very easy hot-swappable SD card or USB 2.0 device.
