SONUS EVO Lite
EVO’s powerful technology for even deeper integration
< 150 g.
1.5 W POWER CONSUMPTION
EVO’S TRUSTED ARCHITECTURE
SONUS EVO Lite is the world’s lightest EMAT acquisition system which enables, for the first time, even deeper hardware and software integration capabilities by utilising the existing onboard processor of the robot.
Based on SONUS EVO’s trusted core technology, the EVO Lite offers non-contact ultrasonic testing (UT) without the need for couplant or surface preparation. Extremely compact, modular and compatible with the Robotic Operating System (ROS), SONUS EVO Lite allows seamless integration on to all types of robots within minutes.
Opening new possibilities to advance NDT inspection for robotics.
INCREDIBLY SMALL. UNBELIEVABLY POWERFUL.

INSPECTION CAPABILITIES
Thickness Mapping
SONUS EVO Lite, alongside our dedicated EMAT probes, is engineered to continuously acquire material thickness data at up to 12 Hz without the need for surface preparation or couplant. Such technology is designed to generate detailed material thickness maps ideal for corrosion and structural health monitoring (SHM) applications.
Crack Detection
With two fully-independent EMAT acquisition channels, along with our novel EMAT design, SONUS EVO Lite* is capable of performing simultaneous thickness and defect monitoring. This unique capability, not only enables defect sizing and orientation estimation, but can also be used to measure other material properties such as anisotropy.
*2-channel version
