Increasing Productivity
The USM Go features intuitive operation so there is virtually no time-consuming, learning curve.
You are productive from the moment you pick it up!
There is no need to refer to the manual, as clear instructions are provided as you go along. Navigation is simplified using the proven graphical user interface(GUI)andtheinnovativejoystick, allowing one-handed opera-tion for fast and accurate adjustment.
Other features allowing increased productivity are:
• Arobustmoldedrubbercasingtowithstand the harshest environmentsand significantly reduce downtime.The instrument is dust- and water-prooftoIP67andistestedtowith-stand shock and vibration.
• Asimpleon-boarddataloggertocollect and save thickness measure-ments or eventually attach thecorresponding A-scan image.
BackwallEchoAttenuator(BEA)helps to find very small defectsimproving detectability.
Automatic Gate Threshold for the2 gates ensuring accurate measure-ments made under the sameconditions.
Videorecordingupto8minutesallows live reporting.
Versatile and Upgradeable
CustomizedversionsoftheUSMGo are also available, specially adapted to meet specific inspection codes or applications. For example, an optional square wave pulser can be supplied for applications involving the inspection of highly attenuative material. The versions shown in the table are currently available. For more detailed informa-tion, please contact your local GE representative or visit www.ge-mcs.com.
