Description

The STIX – Flange Scanner is used for a variety of flange coupling inspection applications such as flange face corrosion. Carry one or two phased array probes straight around the flange with the included guiding system while outputting encoded positional feedback to any UT instrument. Magnetic wheels adhere to ferrous surfaces and the articulating frame design allows placement on diameters as small as 7.6 cm (3 in).

Features

Brake

Lock the position of the scanner in place by activating the brakes.

Flange Scanner Guides

Maintain a straight scan path around the flange utilizing the adjustable guides included with the scanner.

Handle

A safe contact point for the user to control the scanner.

Spring-Loaded Encoder

The spring-loaded encoder maintains constant encoder wheel contact with the scan surface for precise tracking.

Diameter Indicator

Configure the scanner to various diameters using the indicator.

Magnetic Wheels

Dual magnetic wheels keep the scanner mounted to the scan surface even upside down.
