The OmniScan™ X4 is the newest ultrasonic flaw detector from Evident, a rugged all-in-one NDT inspection tool that enables operators of all skill levels to quickly and accurately detect even the most challenging flaws. The OmniScan X4 is lightweight, designed for fast and easy use, and is equipped with a full range of capabilities OmniScan™ X4 of phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT). All models include total focusing method (TFM) technologies, phase coherence imaging (PCI), and plane wave imaging (PWI).
As portable and versatile as it is powerful, the new OmniScan X4 is designed to help you increase your productivity, boost your confidence in assessments, and help you identify damage in welds and components like never before.
Let's take a closer look at its features, capabilities, and benefits: here are five excellent ways the OmniScan X4 can have an immediate impact on your efficiency and workflow, your ability to make reliable decisions, and your capacity to continuously expand your capabilities.
Here we see clearly the data acquired during a multi-group inspection by matrix in the phase of a weld.

1. Assess with confidence, backed by every ultrasonic technique that Evident has to offer.
The OmniScan X4 is a complete multi-technology toolbox that provides you access to the most advanced PAUT techniques available today, as well as powerful focusing capabilities. This allows you to leverage multiple NDT tools and gather as much data as possible to support your assessments.

The setup workflow and parameter menus of the OmniScan X4 software are easy to navigate and make advanced phased array, TFM, PCI, and PWI techniques user-friendly, even for new users. Leveraging these techniques in addition to PAUT helps you achieve reliable and consistent results and make definitive decisions about the degree of cracking or corrosion. Having multiple measurement and imaging tools at hand enhances your ability to confidently identify and assess the severity of damage before it becomes critical, protecting the integrity of assets and infrastructure.
2. It is the fastest and most powerful OmniScan ever created.
With a faster processor, expanded RAM, and advanced image processing tools, the OmniScan X4 is faster, more powerful, and more responsive than any previous model. This means it can quickly process large datasets and experience almost instantaneous software responsiveness.

- Twin TFM/PCI provides clear images of hard-to-detect flaws from both sides of a weld simultaneously, helping to improve data acquisition efficiency.
- The enhanced processing power can calculate TFM in real-time and up to 3 times faster than previous models (depending on the configuration and use of sparse shooting).
- A 1 TB solid-state drive allows for extended uninterrupted data acquisition, enabling technicians to inspect larger parts without stopping to transfer files.
- High-quality PA, TFM, and PCI images minimize false echoes, require less manipulation, and significantly reduce the time and effort needed to clean scans.
3. It is based on software you already know and use.
With OmniScan X4, you can skip training: the integrated MXU 6.0 software reuses all the functions you are already familiar with from the OmniScan X3 series. Additionally, all OmniScan files are compatible, meaning you do not have to redo settings (some restrictions on older OmniScan MX2 and OmniScan SX files).
Our free data analysis software OmniPC™ is designed to meet most of the analysis needs for PAUT, TOFD, and TFM. Its familiar OmniScan user interface makes the learning curve easier, and practical shortcuts speed up navigation and data analysis. Data can be adjusted using multiple tools to correct acquisition errors or to improve report quality.
4. It is designed to evolve without the need for reinvestment.
With free software updates and expanded possibilities for designing new applications, the OmniScan X4 allows you to continuously evolve and grow.
The OmniScan X4 includes free quarterly updates of the MXU software across all models, providing new customer-focused features that expand capabilities, adapt to future inspection needs, and keep you at the forefront of industry standards. With each MXU software update, your OmniScan X4 unit increases in value.
With the OmniScan Black Box application installed on the OmniScan X4 unit,the WeldSight ™ inspection softwarecan control the data acquisition, and the data is sent directly to the laptop.
You can also access future technological advancements without having to reinvest. Raw elemental A-scans from FMC data can be used to reconstruct TFM images or other imaging reconstruction patterns, enabling the development of new applications (model 64:128PR with the OmniScan Black Box application and the NDT device API). With OmniScan X4, you can continuously expand and develop your inspection capabilities to achieve better results in an increasingly demanding NDT market.
5. It easily connects with collaborators anywhere on Earth.
The OmniScan X4 RCS offers remote collaboration tools, such as sharing live data acquisition images and enabling remote control of the instrument.
The OmniScan X4 provides a multitude of convenient ways to stay connected, quickly share critical files, and keep your device updated with the latest software available.
The integrated Wi-Fi® 6E technology allows for faster transfer speeds and makes wireless data transfer more convenient (restrictions in some countries).
All of our latest software releases can be obtained wirelessly as soon as they are available.
If you have a Microsoft OneDrive account, you can share your OmniScan X4 acquisitions and screenshots as soon as you produce them (wireless connection is required at the inspection site).
You can connect your mouse or keyboard via Bluetooth® 5.3 and enjoy the convenience of wireless remote control, perfect for training or writing instructions.
Our X4 remote collaboration service (X4 RCS) allows a remote collaborator to control the unit and organize a video conference with participants from virtually anywhere in the world. This enhances field inspections and training by allowing you to share your inspection conditions and screen, enabling immediate collaboration. Use X4 RCS to overcome obstacles and leverage the expertise of colleagues who are off-site as needed.
Get ready for what’s coming.
