SonaVu Acoustic Imaging Camera visualizes ultrasonic leak noise using 112 MEMS sensors, helping maintenance teams detect compressed air leaks, cut energy waste, improve reliability, and lower operating costs across industrial air systems.

SonaVu+ brings new functionality to acoustic imaging. By blending the auditory and visual senses, the SonaVu+ visualizes high-frequency sound caused by differential pressure from leaks, making them easy to identify, report, and act on. 

Compressed air leaks are more than just an inconvenience that can sometimes disrupt pneumatic tools—they’re a massive drain on resources. In fact, leaks can account for 35-40% of total compressed air demand, meaning 35-40% of your electricity is wasted producing air that never gets used. Since electricity represents 75% of the total cost of running your compressed air system—not maintenance, not capital expenses—every leak is money out the door. Identifying and repairing leaks isn’t just good practice; it’s an essential step to reduce energy waste, cut operating costs, and improve your system's overall efficiency.

Equipped with 112 highly sensitive next-generation digital MEMS sensors, a long-distance optical camera, two-finger zoom, and enhanced image quality, this advanced acoustic imaging technology sets a new benchmark. It empowers maintenance and reliability teams to effortlessly locate, report, and repair compressed air leaks with unparalleled efficiency.
