Overview

Advantages

Available in standard refracted angles of 0°, 45°, 55°, and 60° in steel for angle-beam inspections from 30° to 70°, SW or LW
Stainless steel screw receptacles provide a firm anchoring of probes to wedges.
Lateral electronic scanning replaces the hand-skewing movement (with lateral wedges).
The IHC wedge option can be ordered to improve the quality of the inspection: irrigation, mounting holes for the wedge holder to work with any Olympus scanner, and carbide pins to increase wear resistance.
Wedges are designed to perform manual or automated scans.
Custom wedges with specific refracted angles can be ordered; wedge shape and contour can also be customized.

Wedge Offset Parameters

How to Find the Wedge Parameters

Find the appropriate wedge in either the OmniScan or TomoView Wedge Database. Parameters are automatically set once the wedge model is chosen.
If the wedge is not already in the database, you may download the latest database update from the Service & Support section of www.olympus-ims.com.
Enter the parameters manually using the values provided on the Wedge Specification Sheet accompanying the wedge.
Call your local sales representative.

Wedge Curvature Conventions

Wedge parameters with OmniScan
X	Primary offset
Y	Secondary offset (0 when probe is centered)
Z	Height
Wedge parameters with TomoView
X _T	Primary axis offset of the middle of the first element (mm)
Y	Secondary axis offset of the middle of the first element (mm) (measured from the side of the wedge)
Z	Height at the middle of the first element (mm)
