Gekko Phased-array Flaw Detector [verified] Jun 2026

The Gekko Phased-Array Flaw Detector represents a maturity milestone in the NDT industry. It demonstrates that advanced computational imaging techniques, once reserved for the laboratory, are now viable for field deployment. By combining the ruggedness required for industrial environments with the sophisticated signal processing of FMC/TFM, the Gekko provides inspectors with a powerful tool to ensure asset integrity, particularly in challenging scenarios involving corrosion mapping and complex cracking mechanisms. As regulatory standards continue to evolve to accept advanced UT methods, devices like the Gekko will likely become the industry standard for high-criticality inspections.

The is an industrial-grade, portable Phased-Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) flaw detector engineered for comprehensive non-destructive testing (NDT). It stands out as the first portable system capable of real-time Total Focusing Method (TFM) alongside traditional PAUT, conventional UT, and Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD). This multi-technology approach provides high-resolution imaging and defect characterization in harsh field environments.

For corrosion inspection, the Gekko supports large aperture linear probes. When paired with a scanner and water wedges, the unit acts as a high-speed corrosion mapping tool. The TFM capability allows for precise measurement of remaining wall thickness, even under coatings or in pitted surfaces where conventional UT might lose the backwall echo.
