ACS, a leading German manufacturer of precision testing equipment, today announced the official launch of the upgraded version of the A1040 MIRA 3D instrument – the A1040 MIRA 3D PRO configuration. This upgrade provides a more efficient and accurate solution for non-destructive testing through modular hardware configuration optimization and innovative 8×8 MATRIX mode technology, significantly improving the ability of large-scale structural health monitoring and complex material defect analysis.
Flexible upgrade path to adapt to diverse needs
The A1040 MIRA 3D PRO concrete ultrasonic tomography scanner is extremely easy to upgrade. Existing A1040 MIRA 3D concrete ultrasonic tomography scanner users only need to replace fasteners to complete the hardware upgrade. For different configuration requirements, new PRO instruments purchased in 2025 will come with standard kits in 4×16 and 8×8 modes, and users of equipment purchased before 2025 can achieve 8×8 mode expansion through newly purchased special fasteners. This design not only reduces the user’s equipment iteration cost, but also meets the differentiated needs from conventional detection to complex scenarios through flexible configuration combinations.
8×8 MATRIX mode: a leap forward in detection performance
The upgraded A1040 MIRA 3D PRO is equipped with 8×8 MATRIX mode, which has achieved three core advantages with its advanced array sensor layout and intelligent algorithm:
Ultra-wide detection range: A single scan can cover large structures within 6 meters, which is 200% higher than the maximum detection thickness of the previous generation of products, and is suitable for comprehensive physical examinations of super-scale projects such as bridges and nuclear power facilities.
Millimeter-level precision imaging: Through dynamic focusing technology, millimeter-level cavities, cracks and steel bar distribution inside concrete and stone can be accurately located, and even prestressed pipes can be finely scanned, providing intuitive three-dimensional image support for engineering hidden danger inspection.
Omnidirectional resolution optimization: Based on unidirectional resolution technology, the instrument can break through the traditional detection direction limitations. Regardless of how the device posture changes, high-precision imaging can be achieved in any dimension, significantly improving detection flexibility.
Empowered by cutting-edge technology, reshaping industry standards
A1040 MIRA 3D PRO continues the 3D-FMC/TFM volume reconstruction technology of its predecessor, and further optimizes data processing efficiency through GPU acceleration algorithms. This technology can simultaneously fuse multi-channel ultrasonic signals to generate a three-dimensional stereo image of the object being tested in real time, making the internal defects of the material intuitively visible. In addition, the innovative A-DPC® dry-coupled sensor adopts a high packaging design, which effectively suppresses environmental noise interference while ensuring signal penetration depth, and achieves a 30% increase in signal-to-noise ratio, laying the foundation for reliable detection under complex working conditions.
Broad prospects for industry applications
This upgrade not only strengthens the leading position of the A1040 series in the fields of construction engineering and infrastructure testing, but also expands the application scenarios to emerging fields such as new energy and high-end manufacturing. With the continuous growth of infrastructure construction and industrial testing needs, the A1040 MIRA PRO 3D system is becoming a benchmark product in the field of non-destructive testing with its modular design and technological innovation.
