FAQ
General Information & Core Features
What is the Smart UE1?
Referred as the “Inspection’s Swiss army knife” the Smart UE1 is a single-channel multi-method and multi-application inspection instrument originally designed for aerospace (manufacturing and MRO operations) but also suitable for Wind energy, Defense and Space.
It is a portable and light-weight tool that can replace up to 7 inspection instruments (including UT flaw detector, ET flaw detector, thickness gauge, resonance tester, clad detection and galvanometer).
What inspection methods does the Smart UE1 support?
It is a multi-method device supporting:
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
- Eddy Current (ET)
- Resonance Testing
Can I create inspection reports with a Smart UE1?
Yes, the Smart UE1 acts as a digital continuity brick between acquisition and reporting. Features include:
- Assisted reporting, avoiding dual entries and human errors.
- Recording of signals triggered by time or position encoders for UT and ET.
- Compatibility with most scanners, including Testia Smart Scan.
What connectivity options are available on the Smart UE1?
The device offers multiple connectivity options, including:
- Bluetooth
- Wi-Fi
- 5G* (SIM card is not included)
- LAN
- USB-A 3.1, USB-C
What is the battery's operational time?
The battery operational time is approximately 4 to 8 hours depending on the usage. A 2nd battery and a portable charger are included in the standard kit. The Hot Swap functionality allows you to switch batteries easily and quickly, without turning-off your device.
