Sonatest Unveils XEO, Advancing Portable Phased Array Inspection Technology

MILTON KEYNES, UK – Sonatest, a global leader in ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, has announced the launch of XEO, its next-generation portable phased array inspection platform designed to improve productivity, usability, and inspection performance across a wide range of industries.

Building on more than 60 years of innovation, XEO has been developed to meet the evolving needs of NDT professionals working in aerospace, manufacturing, power generation, transportation, oil and gas, and field service environments. The new platform combines advanced phased array capabilities with a modern, user-focused design to simplify inspection workflows and enhance operational efficiency.

At the heart of XEO is a large high-resolution touchscreen, ergonomic industrial design, and streamlined software interface designed to reduce setup times and make daily inspection tasks more intuitive. Sonatest says the platform enables inspectors to focus on inspection results rather than instrument operation, helping improve consistency, accelerate training, and increase confidence in the field.

“XEO represents the next chapter in Sonatest’s commitment to innovation,” said a company spokesperson. “We listened closely to our customers to create a platform that delivers an outstanding user experience while maintaining the reliability and performance for which Sonatest is known.”

Designed with future growth in mind, XEO features a flexible architecture capable of supporting new software enhancements and inspection capabilities, helping customers protect their investment while adapting to changing industry requirements.
