Ultrasonic testing of railheads. The Gekko’s high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) allows for inspection at train speeds up to 5 km/h (walking speed) without dropping data packets. Performance Specifications at a Glance | Specification | Gekko Rating | | :--- | :--- | | Number of Channels | 64:64 (64 elements firing, 64 receiving) | | Maximum Pulser Voltage | 110V (for high-attenuation composites) | | Digitizer Frequency | 100 MHz, 12-bit | | TFM Resolution | 1024 x 1024 points | | Battery Life | 6 hours (hot-swappable) | | Connectivity | Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB 3.0 | The Verdict: A Game Changer for Code Compliance For inspectors certified to ASME V, ISO 13588, or API 1104, the Gekko solves the chronic problem of "operator dependency." By automating focal law calculations and providing crystal-clear TFM imagery, it reduces false calls and ensures that a crack in Houston looks exactly the same as a crack in Helsinki.

The Gekko is not the cheapest phased-array unit on the market (starting at $28,500 USD), but for asset owners facing expensive unplanned downtime, the cost of missing a single defect is far higher. With its blend of raw processing power and user-centric design, the Gekko Phased-Array Flaw Detector is the new benchmark for portable ultrasonic imaging.
