Efficient magnetic two probe TOFD (time-of-flight diffraction) handheld scanner.
The MICROBE – 2 Probe TOFD Scanner is a small handheld device with built-in encoder and magnetic wheels. It is designed to translate two TOFD probes around ferrous piping and vessels.
The overwhelming flexibility of the MICROBE design allows for many scanning opportunities, even adapting to non-ferrous surfaces with a ROTIX conversion kit.
The removable MICROBE umbilical is the transmission point of the positional encoded signals to a user’s instrument. Plug-in optional accessories for two-axis scans as well.
A brake is provided to lock the location of the scanner in a required position.
The magnetic wheels are coated with urethane to reduce the effects of foreign debris obstructing scanner motion. To further increase the flexibility of the system, the wheels are stackable to increase the magnetic attraction when required.
The MICROBE has a removable handle allowing easy access to protected connections as well as providing cable management.
A positional encoder is integrated into the body of the MICROBE. The encoder output is fully compatible with all standard instruments.
The extremely adjustable slip joint probe holders accommodate most major types of TOFD wedges.
A limited 3-year warranty protects all Jireh products.
The MICROBE Cart contains the built-in positional encoder while the removable handle allows for cable management and access to the umbilical.
Various lengths of frame bars, to which the probe holders and accessories mount, are available.
The versatile slip joint probe holder carries the phased array probe and wedge with seemingly endless adjustment possibilities.
The magnetic wheels maintain scanner contact with the inspection surface. Add additional magnetic wheels to double the magnetic attraction.
A brake prevents the MICROBE from unwanted rolling on a scan surface.
A vital component to the MICROBE, the umbilical housing is a plug-in for optional y-axis accessories. As well, the umbilical exports encoder signals to the user’s instrument and acts as a means of cable management.
