Location-tagged UT measurements

The Elios 3 lets you carry the UT Payload along with the LiDAR, so you can nail down precise measurements directly on a digital twin of your asset while gathering all your data in one go.

Smart couplant dispenser


The UT Payload has a remote-controlled couplant dispenser that applies just the right amount of gel for perfect ultrasound readings. You can easily monitor the gel level in Cockpit and head back for a quick refill or swap out the syringe when needed.

The smartest probe arm ever built on a drone

Laser-focused targeting

The UT Payload’s probe comes with a built-in laser pointer to help you zero in on the exact spot you need to measure—even during flight.

Undisrupted navigation

The probe arm folds snugly against the drone, letting you easily manoeuvre through tight spaces, like narrow manholes, without interrupting flight performance.

Versatile orientation

Mount the UT Payload wherever it works best for the job—on top, in front, or underneath the Elios 3. The adjustable probe arm makes it a breeze to take thickness measurements in even the most hard-to-reach spots.

Modular probe head

The Elios 3 UT Payload features a set of probe hoods to match the shape of various surfaces as well as interchangeable twin crystal piezo-composite probes with the choice of 2MHz, 5MHz, or 7.5 MHz. The probes are particularly suited to measuring heavily corroded metals and feature an Echo-Echo mode to measure through up to 1 mm (0.040 inch) of surface coating.


Probe specifications summary

Probe Frequency Ideal for
7.5 MHz Thin walls, small pipes
5 MHz General purpose
2 MHz Thick walls, dirty surfaces

Cleaning module

Need to prep surfaces for measurements? Just switch out the probe head for the cleaning module to clear away deposits. Thanks to location tagging, you can easily find your cleaned spot again and take precise readings once the probe head is back in action.

Live A-Scan

The Live A-Scan widget in Cockpit puts you in charge of your measurements, whether you’re running them manually or on autopilot. With adjustable gain and gates, you can tweak readings on the fly—even when conditions are less than ideal.

Advanced data post-processing

Review your data points in post-processing using the Elios 3’s companion software, Inspector 5.

Navigate through POIs

All data points from your flights are displayed and located in a digital twin of your asset, easing navigation between points of interest.

Review and refine measurements

During the analysis, the A-Scan is retraced in teh software, allowing you to verify the measurement or refine it by re-selecting the most appropriate echo signals.

Document POIs

Data points can be documented by assigning them a criticality level and adding a description.
