MachOne

The fastest inner diameter inspection system for heat exchangers and boilers

machone

Sound Wave Inspection Systems is proud to unveil the MachOne, the latest advancement in the field of fast tube inspections.

 

As the newest generation of our inspection systems, the MachOne is specifically engineered to provide ultrafast and reliable inner-diameter tube inspections.

Advanced proprietary algorithms enable swift scanning, achieving unprecedented inspection speeds of just 3 to 6 seconds per tube. This dramatically cuts down overall inspection durations.

 

The MachOne inspection system is ideal for fast-paced environments where time is critical.

Technology

Leveraging sound waves as a non-contact "virtual probe" for non-destructive inspection:

  • Tailored acoustic pulses are directed through the tube's enclosed air space

  • Defect-generated echoes are captured by advanced microphones.

  • Innovative SWIS proprietary algorithms determine the position, nature, and dimensions of inner diameter defects.

Applicability:

  • Extended Detection Range: Offers up to 40m leak and full blockage detection (80m from both sides) and up to 20m for partial blockage and wall loss2 (40m from both sides).

 

  • Wide Range of Diameters: Accommodates inner diameters ranging from 7mm to 76mm (3 inches), offering broad application potential.

 

  • All Tube Types Found in Heat Exchangers: Suitable for inspecting every tube type commonly found in heat exchangers, including all tube shapes (Straight, U-bend, fin-fan, twisted, spiral...). It is compatible with all materials such as ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals, as well as graphite and plastics.

Speed and Portability:

  • Ultra-Fast Inspections: MachOne sets a new standard in speed with inspections ranging from just 3 to 6 seconds per tube, dramatically reducing overall inspection times.

  • Dual Power Options: Operates both on battery and electricity, with up to 16 hours of battery life, ensuring uninterrupted operations.

  • Real-Time Analysis Feature: Real-time analysis service, providing analysis concurrently with inspections for immediate results.

  • Ease of Operation: Designed for single-operator use with minimal training, maximizing efficiency and reducing labor costs.

Defect Detection:

 

  • Exceptional Leak Detection: Capable of detecting leaks as small as 0,5mm in diameter, ensuring unparalleled accuracy in identifying potential issues.

  • Outstanding Blockage Detection: Efficiently identifies blockages, starting from as little as 2% of the inner cross-section.

Long-lasting solution:

  • Durable Accessories: Includes metal adapters and extensions for increased longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

 

  • Complete Package: Comes with all necessary accessories, including two batteries for extended use, and an option for an additional double-sized battery.

 

  • No Consumable Probes Required: Eliminates the need for consumable probes, reducing ongoing costs.
