M2M launches Gekko, its new portable system. Designed for field use, Gekko offers several state-of-the-art techniques for high quality control that is easy to achieve.
Ultrasound NDT, which is constantly increasing, is an important part of the trend towards improvement. M2M, with its new portable device, faces two challenges: to put at the service of the controller very sophisticated and high-performance means, and to offer a portable device, at a competitive price, easy to use and user-friendly. The Gekko aircraft thus has the most advanced ultrasound techniques to enable adaptation to the needs of the various industrial sectors: aeronautics, steel, petrochemicals, automotive and nuclear.
Using expert or operator mode, Gekko performs controls on 64 parallel lanes, and is the first multi-element device capable of flying both matrix sensors and applying real-time optimized imaging techniques(Total Focusing Techniques). Gekko is the only device on the market that combines a classic multi-elements approach with advanced hyperfocalization and 3D vision features. Gekko also benefits from the latest features of the CIVA software, some of which have been directly integrated into the software.
Designed for field use combined with a simplified interface, Gekko has an application system that allows all operators to perform step-by-step control, reducing the risk of errors. In addition, Gekko integrates ultrasonic indication management and customizable reporting tools.
This device was developed in collaboration with the CEA List, one of the three ceA Tech institutes, the CEA's Directorate of Technological Research, and with the support of the Public Investment Bank as part of the IMPACT Strategic Innovation Project (portable imager for non-destructive control) which brought together many partners from the NDT in France.
