Have questions about buying this product?
The SKOOT – Base Crawler is a powerful automated scanner. The ability to carry multiple attachments and various accessories while traversing all types of magnetic surfaces make the SKOOT an extremely versatile scanning device. This remotely operated scanning platform can be outfitted with probe holder frames for weld inspection or a raster arm for automated two-axis corrosion scans.
Low Profile Design
The SKOOT requires a radial clearance of 11.4 cm (4.5 in), which allows for inspection in limited access applications.
Magnetic Wheels
Using rare-earth magnets, the SKOOT can operate on vertical, horizontal and inverted surfaces.
Scan Versatility
The SKOOT can facilitate circumferential scans on pipes as small as 6.4 cm (2.5 in) OD and 68.6 cm (27 in) ID. In addition, flat surface scans and longitudinal scanning on pipes as small as 76.2 cm (30 in) OD are available.
Backpack
The optional backpack conveniently carries ultrasonic accessories with the unit.
Modular Design
Various probe holder frames and lengths of raster arms are available for use with the SKOOT.
Remote Operation
Remote control of speed and functions available through colour handheld controller.
Built-in Encoder
An encoder is integrated into the body of the SKOOT. The encoder output is fully compatible with all standard instruments.
Warranty
3-year limited warranty on all products.
Component Identification
1 Base Crawler
Four highly magnetic wheels propel the SKOOT crawler along ferrous surfaces. Attach a multitude of weld and corrosion scanning accessories to the crawler which features cable management and integrated encoder.
2 Backpack
A flexible strap securely holds any pre-amp, splitters or scan accessories to the SKOOT crawler.
3 Manipulation Handle
Slight steering adjustments and crawler manipulation is achieved using the manipulation handle.
4 Power Controller
Configurable for North American or European electrical standards, the power controller is a sophisticated operating platform and connection point for instrumentation and handheld controllers.
5 Handheld Controller
Precision forward and reverse drive control, programmable y-axis control and system diagnostics are all accessed using handheld controller’s touchscreen and joysticks.
6 Umbilical
The backbone of communication between the power controller and the base crawler.
