Detailed Overview

The VeeScan is ETher’s first Wheel Inspection System and offers maximum flexibility for the operating inspection environment.

The VeeScan has a proven mechanical design and established record of breakdown-free operation for 365 days or more. Appealing to many companies in the Aerospace industry, the VeeScan is ideal in all wheel-testing environments.

Uses the ETher NDE AeroCheck+ Standard Aerospace Eddy Current Flaw Detector. Easily removable for other inspection tasks and protected by a rugged, clear Polycarbonate cover.
Heavy duty extruded aluminium structure with removable steel panels.

The VeeScan can be configured with a wide choice of probes and allows any wheel testing facility the flexibility to select the system most compatible with their workload. Teamed with a full choice of operation modes, the VeeScan maximises the probability of detection and is offered with the ETher NDE guarantee of complete client satisfaction and excellent technical support.

“The VeeScan offers our clients the ability to both improve inspection productivity and the quality of inspection with low cost of ownership.”

John Hansen, MD

The VeeScan H is designed to lift the wheel and fix it with an automatic adaptor that uses the wheel inertia to centre it. VeeScan H offers an integrated roller tray for easy manoeuvrability and integration into a conveyor system and can test wheels up to 900mm diameter. The H is designed with an adjustable-height Control Panel for operator comfort and can be positioned at a convenient distance from the main machine. Open on three sides, the VeeScan H offers easy wheel loading as standard.
