Sonobotics - Model SONUS EVO -Compact EMAT-based Robotic Ultrasonic Examination System

The SONUS EVO represents a leap forward in non-destructive testing, offering a compact and lightweight solution for advanced ultrasonic examination using Electro-Magnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMATs). It is an all-in-one EMAT acquisition system designed specifically for seamless integration with robotic platforms via the Robotic Operating System (ROS). Weighing in at under 250 grams and consuming less than 7 watts of power, the SONUS EVO provides significant signal strength and energy efficiency improvements over previous generations. Capable of conducting wireless non-contact testing, it enables ultrasonic assessment without surface preparation, making it ideal for applications such as material thickness mapping and defect detection. The system supports both thickness and anisotropy characterization and accommodates high temperatures and minimal surface preparation. Its built-in WiFi and onboard signal processing capabilities offer fully wireless functionality, processing A-scans and displaying material thickness values in real time. The SONUS EVO meets rigorous standards of performance, undergoing blind trials against industrial benchmarks and demonstrating its efficacy in structured environments.
