Introducing SPIKE by SOCOMATE
COMPACT AND VERSATILE PHASED-ARRAY ULTRASONIC OEM BOARD

- Effortless Integration in Automated Systems
SPIKE integrates easily with automation platforms like robots, gantries, drones, crawlers, and scanners.

- Cost-Efficient PAUT Solution
Provides high-quality ultrasonic technology at an optimized price, with options to customize features and pay only for what you need. Upgrades are available anytime.

- Flexible OS Compatibility
Operates across multiple platforms—Windows, Linux, and Android—allowing versatile application development.

- Accelerated Integration
A comprehensive SDK and thorough documentation simplify the integration process, complemented by detailed ultrasonic imaging examples. The included advanced DLL allows integrators to directly embed a phased-array delay-law calculator into their monitoring applications.

In-Line Production / Robotic Systems
SPIKE’s compact size, light weight and high data throughput make it ideal for high-speed production lines where space and weight are at a premium. Easily embedded within production robots, SPIKE provides non-disruptive, inline diagnostics that integrate seamlessly into automated systems.

In-Line Automated Inspection (Gantry Systems, Immersion Tanks)
For inspecting large or curved components, SPIKE offers precision and adaptability. It can handle challenging tasks such as inspecting composite aircraft panels or large slabs in immersion tanks. SPIKE’s compact design enables close sensor placement, preserving signal quality without long cables. Multiple boards (e.g., 3 x 16:64) can be stacked for larger configurations, all managed through a single control application.

Remote Inspections / On-Scanner (ROVs, Drones, Crawlers, Pigs, Scanners)
The lightweight SPIKE board is ideal for mobile, autonomous platforms like drones, motorized crawlers, and subsea scanners. Compact and efficient, it enables ultrasonic inspections in confined or difficult-to-access environments.

R&D / Laboratory Development
With robust libraries and sample code for ultrasonic imaging techniques (e.g., phased-array, total focusing methods), SPIKE is a versatile tool for NDT research and development, allowing rapid prototyping and field-adapted solutions.

Field Inspection / Portable Flaw Detectors
SPIKE supports advanced flaw detection applications, making it an excellent choice for portable NDT devices. Ideal for high-volume inspections, it provides ease of deployment and intuitive operation in tools such as corrosion mapping (VENOM), rail inspection (EKORAIL and SOCORAIL), and thickness measurement (METIS).
