Detailed Overview

A magnetic-wheeled scanner device that attaches to ferromagnetic surfaces, designed to automate the scanning of welds. It is used to accurately guide UT or Phased Array probes along circumferential and longitudinal weld seams. The scanner provides an automated, precise positioning solution for repeatable, code-compliant weld inspection data acquisition.

Magnetic-adhesion, encoded scanner for highly accurate, repeatable ultrasonic inspection of welds.

• This device magnetically attaches to steel pipework and structures, providing a trackless, encoded platform for accurately moving UT probes (e.g., Phased Array, TOFD) around a pipe or along a linear weld.
• The encoder ensures all data is mapped precisely to the weld location for detailed reporting.
• The product is a manual or motorized scanner frame with magnetic wheels, an encoder, and probe holders.
