SonyksTM is a major leap in guided wave equipment. Eddyfi Technologies has redefined guided wave ultrasonic testing with the Sonyks setting new benchmarks for data quality, versatility, ease of use, and deployment. From Teletest, who pioneered Guided Wave Testing (GWT) commercially, the state-of-the-art system comes with a large high-quality touchscreen, ultra-fast electronics for rapid data acquisition, and on-the-spot data analysis capabilities for accurate reporting. Sonyks has reinvented guided waves, making the technology simpler and more accessible for the industry.
Sonyks offers an unprecedented ability to inspect more piping applications, including flange-to-flange piping, in the most cost and time-efficient manner.
The instrument is also compatible with typical transducer rings found on the market. Reuse your own rings and make the most of your past investment in guided waves. Couple your existing collars to a new-generation instrument with best-in-class electronics and give a second life to your inspection programs.
Thanks to a project-based inspection setup, time spent at a location can be reduced by 33%. This combined with a new multilocation reporting feature generates significant time savings.
Sonyks is the first instrument with an onboard screen for GWT interpretation. It uses a combination of broadband and Full Matrix Capture (FMC) data collection, meaning that all data ever needed is collected once to make analysis possible anywhere. Move on to the next location knowing you have all the necessary data with increased speed and peace of mind.
With an unmatched Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Sonyks inspects longer distances and locates even smaller defects. This improved SNR can dramatically simplify analysis and increase the overall efficiency of the inspection by 50%.
Sonyks is an incredibly versatile system that allows operators to address more applications thanks to short-range and medium-range capabilities in addition to long-range ultrasonic testing. For example, use the new 128 kHz magnetostrictive collar to inspect flanged pipes efficiently.
Reuse transducer rings you already own and make the most of your past investment in GWT. Couple your existing collars to a new-generation instrument with best-in-class electronics and give a second life to your inspection programs.
