EPOCH 1000 Series Introduction

OISE MEA(T) Distributor Meeting Dubai March 3 to 5, 2009

New Product Introduction

Olympus IMS is pleased to introduce the newest additions to the EPOCH series flaw detector product line, the

EPOCH 1000 Series

EPOCH 1000 Series Introduction

The EPOCH 1000 Series provides the highest performance conventional flaw detection ever offered in the EPOCH flaw detector product line. Phased Array imaging capabilities for
Better Probability of Detection More efficient inspections

Large, Full VGA resolution, transflective display Case designed to meet IP66 environmental seal requirements. EN12668-1 Compliant (Conventional UT) Horizontal layout with adjustment knob as well as EPOCH-style adjustment cluster.

Three Instrument Offerings

The EPOCH 1000 Series is offered in three configurations: EPOCH 1000 High performance conventional Flaw Detector. Phased Array Imaging option may be added with a hardware upgrade at an authorized Olympus NDT service center.

EPOCH 1000iR Exactly the same conventional UT features and capabilities as the EPOCH 1000 instrument. The EPOCH 1000iR comes with calibrated phased array hardware pre-installed. Phased array imaging capabilities can be activated remotely as a software option, saving the need for upgrade at a service center. EPOCH 1000i Phased Array imaging hardware and software capabilities are factory installed on the EPOCH 1000i, without sacrificing any of the advanced conventional flaw detection capabilities of the EPOCH 1000 instrument.

EPOCH 1000 Series Product Position

The product positioning of this series of instruments is a key factor to sales success

The EPOCH 1000 Series bridges the gap between conventional, portable flaw detectors (EPOCH and Sonic series) and the advanced phased array flaw detectors (OmniScan series)
Instrument series may better address some market segments currently supported by other instruments
EPOCH XT previously the only portable conventional solution OmniScan M previously the only entry-level phased array solution Product differentiation is a key component of selling the EPOCH 1000 Series

Selling Strategy

EPOCH 1000iR: This configuration offering of the EPOCH 1000 Series is designed to appeal to a variety of customers that will not purchase the full EPOCH 1000i
Budget-conscious customers (mid-range pricing) Entry-level customers working towards imaging techniques Conventional customers who may require imaging benefits in the future

Up-Sell: The EPOCH 1000iR is priced competitively within the EPOCH 1000 Series to allow for easier up-sells from the EPOCH 1000 instrument
Small investment up front allows easy upgrade to phased array imaging Unit does not need to be returned to a service center for hardware upgrade and calibration
Saves customer time and shipment fees Saves Olympus service centers time and administrative costs

This instrument offering should be aggressively promoted to any customers looking at the EPOCH 1000
