ОKО-22М-EMA ultrasonic flaw detector intended use
The ОКО-22М-EMA ultrasonic flaw detector is an independent electronic device and is designed for application in stationary, high-performance systems (automated multichannel NDT Systems), transportable systems (mechanized NDT systems), or for manual testing.
As the flaw detector is a standalone device connected to a PC via Ethernet port, several EMA channels can be connected to the PC via the Switch unit. This allows creating EMA multichannel testing systems.
