Since 1977 FORCE Technology has continously updated and improved the P-scan system to meet new customer demands for automated inspection tasks. P-scan System 4 represents the 4'th generation of P-scan systems.

P-scan System 4 is a high performance ultrasonic and eddy current inspection system providing the newest technology available today giving the possibility to accomplish the most demanding NDT jobs in industry.

P-scan System 4 is designed with special attention to:

• Fast set-up time
  
• Small equipment size
  
• Ease-of-use
  
• Flexibility

The core of P-scan System 4 is the remotely controlled data acquisition and processing unit. 
 
The P-scan 4 family consists of three remotely controlled systems:

Common to all systems:

• PS-4 software running on Microsoft® Windows® XP or Vista operating systems
• User Interface
• Data format
• Remotely controlled from a PC with the PS4 software over a Ethernet link (cable or fiber optics)
• Built-in scanner controller for both manual and automatic scanners
• Ultrasonic probes, scanners, and other peripheral units such as water pumps and remote control units are directly connected to the processing unit

Benefits:

• Only one software package to install and learn
• Same user interface makes it easy to operate all three P-scan systems
• The same data format makes is easy to use data on any of the three systems
• No need for external scanner controller

The systems supports a great variety of inspection techniques:

• P-scan for weld inspection
• T-scan for corrosion mapping
• Through Transmission for composite testing
• TOFD for detection and sizing
• Full A-scan recording for off-line processing
• Eddy Current inspection (optional for some systems)
