Automated Scanners

Automated Crawler Scanners are a new generation solution to large scale applications where the shear size, height or circumference create challenges. Using automated crawler scanners removes safety risks for personnel, saves time and money as the need for scaffolding is removed.

These scanners can simultaneously carry probes and wedges for Phased Array and Time-of-flight-diffraction (TOFD) weld inspection.

DSC-08 - Multi-function Automated Scanner

As the name implies this is a multi-function scanner used for large pipe inspections or plate welds where manual scanning would be too laborious and time consuming with the risk of missing data or defects.

Complicated inspections can be carried out quickly especially when the window of opportunity for the inspection is restricted.

The DSC-08 Multi-functional automatic crawler is suitable for pipes which OD are greater than 152mm, or plate welding. 64 or 128 element water column probes are optional to perform corrosion / basic material inspection.

32-16 element probes are optional to perform girth welding two-sided inspection. Remote control available to move forward and backward, as well as to control the guide screw to move to left and right(500mm).
