Manual Scanners for NDE / NDT
Desktop ScannerThe Model 4020 Desktop Scanner is a manually controlled scanner designed for use on a bench or tabletop scanning beside a planar or near-planar specimen. Single rods provide the X and Y-axes, with the sensor mounted on the end of the Y-axis rod. Incremental optical encoders provide scanner position input to the data acquisition system. |

Pipe ScannerThe WesDyne 4030 Pipe Scanner (shown with a 12" Y-Arm) is a magnetic-wheeled, two-axis scanner designed for manual raster type scans of pipe, flat plate and convex or concave surfaces. Movement in both axes is mechanically guided to ensure precise, controlled motion for any combination of UT or ET probes over a test surface. Powerful magnetic wheels hold the scanner on the test piece or guide track, reducing operator fatigue. The scanner can operate on pipe diameters as small as 2". Interchangeable Y-axis arms of various lengths provide flexibility for inspecting large areas or confined spaces. Brakes on both axes can be used to limit scanner motion and thus simplify scanning. The 4030 scanner is compatible with standard IntraSpect automated scanner track systems. |

"Badger" ScannerThe 4050 Manual "Badger" Scanner is a magnetic-wheeled single-axis scanner designed for manual raster-type scans of pipe, flat plate, and convex or concave surfaces. Movement via the wheeled axis provides precise, controlled motion of UT or ET probes over the test piece. Position information is supplied by a magnetic encoder for the wheeled axis. The scanner is equipped with an indexing button in lieu of second-axis encoding. The Model 4050 is water resistant and has a durable powder-coated cast aluminum housing. It is designed to withstand harsh environments and temperature extremes. The scanner is compatible with all IntraSpect Data Acquisition and Imaging systems in the AMDATA product line. |

"Field Mouse" ScannerThe Field Mouse is a scanner designed to provide the flexibility needed to inspect complex geometries. The combination of the single encoded axis and small size allows for deployment and controlled motion on such diverse items as pipe elbows, attachment (saddle) welds, etc. The scanner is equipped with an indexing button iin lieu of second axis encoding. In addition, its low cost and portability makes it an ideal manual scanner for general-purpose inspections. The use of a spring loaded probe holder and magnetic wheels reduce operator fatigue. |
