NOVO Touch Pro — Acquisition & Analysis Software

All NOVO DR systems are equipped with NOVO Touch Pro software, designed for field use on rugged tablets. The intuitive interface integrates advanced analysis tools that accelerate NDT workflows and reduce processing time.

Key features

GENIE Algorithm — Automatic Image Enhancement
The GENIE algorithm performs automatic radiographic image enhancement with a single touch. The current version is 4x faster than the previous generation.

Auto Wall Thickness Tool
Fast, automatic wall thickness measurement with no manual input required. The system identifies and calculates wall thickness values directly on the acquired image.

Automatic Basic Spatial Resolution (SRb)
Automatic SRb detection on the region of interest selected by the operator. Eliminates manual calculation and reduces compliance verification time.

Automatic & Manual Stitching
Merge multiple images for extended component inspection. Available in automatic mode (maximum speed) or manual mode (maximum operator control).

DWT — Double Wall Thickness
Double Wall Thickness Technique Tool: converts gray levels into actual material thickness values. Simple and intuitive.

Concrete & Construction
In the construction industry, there is often the need to quickly locate elements inside concrete and reinforced masonry structures before drilling, cutting, or coring. NOVO-DR enables immediate non-destructive inspection, reducing operational risk and downtime.
What is inspected: Pipes, re-bar, conduits, fittings in concrete and reinforced masonry structures

Oil & Gas
Novo DR portable digital X-ray system offers a unique advantages to the Oil and gas industry’s radiography inspections of pipes, pressure vessel, structural welds, valves etc. These stare of art units make it easy to look for defects such porosity, crack, lack of fusion, inclusions, corrosion and erosion, and also to measure pipes’ wall thickness with precision. The systems are compact yet robust, easy to carry and can fit in tight or elevated locations. Utilizing its sensitive digital radiography flat panel detector – NOVO DR system has been designed and developed to address numerous radiography assignments in refineries, offshore platforms, power stations, exploration and transmission facilities.

Aerospace
Novo DR portable digital X-ray system is perfect for on the spot analysis required in the aerospace field. The system is easy to carry, fully wireless and battery operated, compact and lightweight and can be used in tight and elevated places in the field as well as in the laboratory. The system provides the ideal solution for aircraft radiography inspection during both production and maintenance operations.
NOVO DR system offers a fast workflow, and therefore save a lot of time and money compared to Film or CR technologies. The state of the art DDA’s provides outstanding image quality with a powerful and intuitive software operated via tablet or PC. Safety is significantly improved thanks to shorter arc of time exposure, lower dose and also closer areas.

Munition
Munitions quality control during production or periodic inspections is crucial. NOVO DR portable X-ray systems provide high quality images within seconds to detect cracks, explosives integrity, assemblies errors, faulty fuses and more. The system is easy to operate, carry and control and provides unmatched productivity for intensive radiography tasks out in the field and inside a laboratory. Information is digitally stored and can be easily accessed, shared, analyzed and archived for future reference.

Shipyards
NOVO DR portable digital X-ray systems provide immediate results, on site, and are ideal for inspection of welding in shipyards during production and maintenance. NOVO DR state of the art digital radiography flat panel detectors allow shorter exposure and lower dose usage, compared to other technologies, and thus smaller area closure and increased productivity. The system is lightweight, thin, wireless and easy to carry so it can fit in the tightest of spaces and yet boasts outstanding image quality in all weather conditions. Typical welds inspections include detection of cracks, lack of fusion, corrosion, porosity and slag lines.

Power Line Inspection
Digital X-ray is used to discover issues with compression sleeves before conductor failures occur, avoiding costly outages.
What is inspected: Disconnects, fitting and integrity of cables under compression sleeves

Art & Archaeology
Digital X-ray is used to inspect works of art and archaeological findings, revealing internal structures, construction techniques, and conservation status with no contact or damage to the object.
What is inspected: Artifacts, paintings, sculptures, archaeological findings

NOVO Touch Professional Software
NOVO DR Touch Professional Software offers intuitive operation for capturing X-ray images, powerful enhancing, annotating, and tools to comply with international standards such as Line Profile, Image Statistics, Wall Thickness and Crack Measurement, archiving and sharing information. It also offers control hardware features such as illumination, switch from wired to wireless communication, activate a variety of X-ray sources and much more.
