Imperium announces availability of the world's smallest handheld ultrasound imaging camera for Realtime and Remote Diagnostic Inspection
Imperium, the sole developer and manufacturer of ultrasound imaging cameras for Non-Destructive Inspection ("NDI") announced today the availability of the new Acoustocam i600, a lighter, more rugged version of the world's only handheld portable camera device used by companies such as Boeing, US Navy, Airbus, NASA, Hexcel and others for NDI; especially composite materials.
The i600 Acoustocam is a much smaller and easier to manage handheld device and is built of more rugged material, but contains the same powerful imaging capabilities. The new unit uses a tenth of the number of parts of the i500, is approximately half its size and a third of its weight.
"This is a breakthrough for our company and a benefit to the industry which lacked an easy to manage, portable imaging tool for internal damage inspection in the field," said Bob Lasser, president of Imperium. "This powerful, more rugged and lightweight internal defect detection tool can be held effortlessly overhead, making comprehensive NDI examinations easier and more comfortable for the technician."
Boeing IDS Philadelphia is the first customer to receive the i600. "Boeing recently selected Imperium's Acoustocam i600 with Remote NDI for its plans to develop an innovative damage assessment process to improve operational readiness in the field for the V-22 Osprey," said Matt Atkinson, support equipment design engineer, Boeing IDS. "With realtime collaboration over a wireless communication network, sharing realtime images and analysis, this technology should provide a tremendous benefit to our fleet support team."
Boeing Commercial Airplane Group also plans to upgrade to the i600 to support its plans for damage assessment on the forthcoming 787 Dreamliner.
Mike Hamel, president of Test Equipment Distributors, LLC, an authorized Imperium reseller in the US, said, "As Imperium's newest channel partner, TED is delighted to market the innovative i600 Acoustocam. This NDI tool offers tremendous value to our customers in aerospace, the armed services and their supply chains."
