Capture

Be the best inspector you can be

Capture™ is the streamlined software embedded in Gekko® and Mantis™ portable flaw detectors, also available for PC, and on the Panther™ desktop solution. It is dedicated to conventional Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Phased Array UT (PAUT), Time-of-Flight-Diffraction (TOFD), Total Focusing Method (TFM) and Adaptive Total Focusing Method (ATFM). Continuously updated based on industry feedback, be the best inspector you can be.

What's new in Capture

  • Assisted Analysis with optimal workflow to improve productivity of butt weld PAUT inspections analysis
  • New TFM/PWI modes for better defect detection and characterization
  • Panther compatibility to provide advanced performances
  • Various features requested by customers to improve software usability and better address your inspection requirements

Streamlined workflow

Calibration wizard

Unique 3-click calibration wizards

Smart calibration wizards fulfill the requirements of your existing procedure:

  • Part and wedge velocity calibration
  • Amplitude balancing and dead element check
  • Best-in-class wedge delay + angle calibration - including AOD/COD wedges
  • Beam balancing for PAUT sensitivity calibration (ACG)
  • Innovative TCG calibration - including TFM

Historically, essential calibration steps such as wedge verification and TCG have been complicated and time-consuming. Capture does it accurately, quickly, and efficiently.

TFM for the field - our DNA

Benefiting from over 8 years of experience with TFM in the field, Capture offers:

  • Multi-probe, multi-group, and multi-mode TFM configurations
  • Various transmission modes (FMC, sparse, PWI) and FMC recording
  • Compatible with linear, matrix, DLA, and DMA probes up to 128 elements
  • Unique grid verification tool compliant with ASME-V / ISO 23865
  • Typical 1 inch weld inspection from both sides up to 130 mm/sec (5 in/sec)
  • Advanced component (3D CAD, nozzle, fillet welds…) inspection available for direct modes (LL, TT)

TFM offers improved data quality allowing more accurate sizing to reduce false calls in full compliance with the latest codes and standards.

Multi-group and multi-mode TFM configurations

Fully embedded scan plan

Offering advanced solutions

Capture provides advanced solutions through a streamlined workflow.

  • 3-axis nozzle inspection, including parametric weld configuration
  • Fillet welds (T, Y) with multi-skip ray tracing
  • True CAD import
  • Embedded scanner controls for the RMS PA, R-Scan Array, and LYNCS
  • Paintbrush 2D mapping with 3-axis rotating arm
