The Flyability Elios 3 UT payload system takes inspection agility and precision to new heights with its innovative smart probe arm.

This feature is ingeniously designed for flexibility, allowing the probe to be mounted on top, in front of, or beneath the drone, and to be shaped according to the specific requirements of each inspection task.

This adaptability ensures that operators can achieve the necessary contact with a variety of surfaces, no matter how complex or hard-to-reach they may be.

The smart probe arm’s versatility makes it an indispensable tool for conducting thorough ultrasonic testing in confined spaces.

Maximizing Efficiency in Inspections with Live-A-Scan and Mapping

There are two pivotal features of the Elios 3 UT payload that streamline the inspection process: the live A-scan and enhanced map. Together, they offer a seamless blend of real-time data analysis and spatial awareness, simplifying complex inspections.

The live A-scan provides immediate feedback on material conditions, while the enhanced map ensures thorough coverage and efficient navigation. These tools elevate the precision and effectiveness of inspections, offering a straightforward approach to managing and maintaining assets in challenging environments.

Live A-Scan

The Elios 3 UT payload system enhances ultrasonic testing (UT) capabilities with its live A-scan feature, providing operators with immediate visibility into material conditions.

This innovative tool broadcasts ultrasonic waveforms in real time, allowing for instant analysis and feedback during inspections.

With comprehensive measurement controls, operators can fine-tune gain and gate settings on the fly, ensuring both automated and manual adjustments lead to the highest measurement accuracy.

This level of adaptability is crucial in complex environments, maintaining data integrity and empowering operators with the information needed for prompt, informed decisions.

Enhanced Live Map

The Flyability Elios 3 UT payload introduces the enhanced live map, a pivotal feature for streamlining confined space inspections.

This tool provides a real-time visual representation of the inspection area, overlaying location-tagged UT measurements onto a dynamic map.

As inspections progress across multiple flights, the enhanced live map tracks all covered areas and identified points of interest, ensuring comprehensive coverage and efficient data collection.

This immediate overview allows operators to assess project completeness at a glance and effectively plan further inspection paths, crucial for precision and thoroughness in asset management.

Clean Data Meets Deep Analysis Enhancing UT Inspections

Combining the precision of the cleaning module with the sophistication of advanced data post-processing, this system redefines the approach to ultrasonic testing inspections. 

The cleaning module ensures surfaces are impeccably prepared for accurate data collection, while advanced data post-processing facilitates deeper analysis and refinement of UT readings. 

Together, they enhance the inspection process, improving both efficiency and the quality of data analysis.

Elios 3 UT Payload Cleaning Module

With its dedicated cleaning module, the system revolutionizes the preparation of surfaces for ultrasonic testing by efficiently removing light deposits.

This preparation is critical for ensuring that the Elios 3 UT probe head can achieve accurate measurements on a clean surface, free from any obstructions that might interfere with data quality.

The module’s seamless integration with the drone’s location-tagging capabilities further enhances its utility, enabling precise navigation back to specific cleaned areas for subsequent measurements.

Advanced Post-Processing

Delivering an unmatched level of sophistication in ultrasonic testing, the advanced data processing capabilities of the Elios 3 UT Payload system redefines precision and reliability in industrial inspections.

With the innovative feature of retracing A-scans in the software, operators have the flexibility to verify measurements post-flight and refine them by selecting the most appropriate echo signals.
