Micro 8-channel ultrasound module

Insight, Embedded

Talisman™ is a compact UT module built for robotics.

Fits in the palm of your hand, delivers high-speed, multi-probe ultrasonic inspection data, enabling scalable implementation for modern inspection workflows.

Scalable & Fast

Supports up to 8 transducers, delivering real-time A-scans at fast frame rates. Leverage onboard features to perform combinations of line-scans, wide-area corrosion mapping or time of flight diffraction inspections.

Robotics-Ready Integration

Small, lightweight and with a wide power input range, Talisman integrates seamlessly into drones, crawlers, ROV’s or fixed implementations. Dual encoder inputs allow you to create 3D corrosion maps.

Advanced Features for Comprehensive Inspections.

Talisman’s hardware and software flexibility give NDT professionals unprecedented control over their inspections:

High-Resolution Digitiser

Captures ultrasonic waveforms with high frequency and bit-depth, so every echo is clear and detailed for analysis.

Total Parameter Control

 Fine-tune gain, gates, pulse timing, and other settings to adapt to each inspection scenario. Unlike black-box UT devices, Talisman lets you optimise the system for the material and geometry you’re inspecting.

Multi-Mode Operation

Easily switch between or combine single-point measurements, encoded line scans, 2D C-scans and Time Of Flight Diffraction setups.

Probe Flexibility

Use either twin, single or broadband crystal probes over a wide range of frequencies. Talisman works with standard transducers, giving you the unrestricted freedom to choose the right probe for the job.

Rugged, Reliable and Ready to Integrate.

Built for industrial applications, Talisman is robust for field use on air, land and sea.Fits in the palm of your hand, delivers high-speed, multi-probe ultrasonic inspection data, enabling scalable implementation for modern inspection workflows.

Robust Connectivity

Choose between Ethernet or WiFi connectivity for high-speed, low latency data streaming with Talisman.

Flexible Power Input

A broad input voltage range means Talisman can be powered from various sources (battery packs, vehicle power, or industrial AC/DC converters) without fuss. It’s equally at home on a benchtop setup or a mobile robot.

Minimal Footprint

All these capabilities come in an exceptionally small form factor, ideal for tidy integration into robotics platforms. No need for peripheral or add-on boards to complete the implementation.

Scalable Platform

Flexible design, customisable firmware with frequent updates. As your inspection needs grow or new techniques emerge, you can expand Talisman’s capabilities, protecting your investment for the long term.
