NDT Systems Armadillo Wheeled Hand Scanner for Raptor, Encoded B-Scan Corrosion Inspection
SKU: ARMADILLO-RAPTOR
A rugged, wheeled manual scanner with liquid feed and an included 5 MHz dual-element probe, configured for the NDT Systems Raptor flaw detector to deliver encoded B-scans, auto-indexing, fast survey mode and J-scan for corrosion mapping.

The NDT Systems Armadillo is a compact, wheeled hand scanner that connects to the NDT Systems Raptor flaw detector for position-encoded B-scan imaging. As you roll it along the part, the Raptor records thickness against distance and builds a cross-section profile of the back wall, showing exactly where corrosion and wall loss are located.
Paired with the Raptor, the Armadillo also supports auto-indexing, fast survey mode and J-scan. Its built-in liquid feed keeps the probe coupled, and an adaptive gimbal maintains good probe contact on curved surfaces from a 4" radius up to flat. That makes it a fast, practical tool for corrosion surveys on pipes, elbows and storage tanks.
Key Features
Made for the Raptor
This version connects directly to the NDT Systems Raptor. Together they unlock auto-indexing, fast survey mode and J-scan on top of standard encoded B-scan, and the Raptor's imaging software turns your scans into clear corrosion maps.
Encoded B-scan corrosion mapping
Position-encoded scanning ties every thickness reading to its location, producing an accurate B-scan cross-section of the wall for reliable corrosion and wall-loss evaluation.
Liquid feed for consistent coupling
The integrated liquid feed supplies couplant to the probe during the scan, maintaining a steady signal over long scan lines without stopping to reapply couplant.
Adaptive gimbal for curved surfaces
An adaptive gimbal improves probe contact as the scanner moves, so it works on surfaces from a 4" (102 mm) radius up to flat, covering pipes, elbows and tank walls.
Fast, flexible scanning
Scan at more than 30 inches per second, with user-definable scan length and resolution to match each inspection procedure.
Rugged and field ready
An all-aluminum body weighs just 0.73 kg (1.6 lb). A 12 ft (3.66 m) cable comes standard, with a 25 ft (7.6 m) option for reaching larger structures.
