The CLIX Chain Scanner from ScanTech is a modular inspection platform engineered to perform weld inspection, corrosion mapping, and radiography with a single, adaptable system. Its patent-backed design delivers high payload capacity, infinite scanning length, and compatibility with multiple NDT methods. CLIX is available in manual, automated umbilical, and automated wireless configurations, covering standard pipe sizes from 6” to 48” and custom builds beyond. With field-proven durability, tool-free adjustments, and ScanTech’s proprietary Wheel Pack Assembly, CLIX is built for real-world inspection challenges.
Infinite Scanning Length: No maximum range—extend capability simply by adding more links.
Unmatched Payload Capacity: Handles heavier loads without sacrificing stability or accuracy, outperforming competitor systems.
Total Modularity: Quickly reconfigure size and setup to fit standard 24”, 36”, and 48” kits, or custom builds beyond.
Multi-Method Capability: Supports weld inspection, corrosion mapping, and 100% wireless radiography.
Compact and Safety-Driven: Designed for easy handling in confined spaces while reducing operator fatigue and risk.
Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Compatibility: Delivers consistent performance across a wide range of materials.
Custom Configurations Available: Engineered-to-order for pipe diameters larger than 48”.
Toolless Link Coupling: Connect or separate scanner segments in seconds to match pipe dimensions.
Proprietary Wheel Pack Assembly: Maintains consistent probe pressure and alignment over variable surfaces.
Expanded Probe Configurations: Weld inspection carts hold 2–4 probes each, with unlimited carts for higher coverage.
Cable-Free RT Operation: Wireless scanning option eliminates tripping hazards and increases mobility.
Load-Optimized Framework: Engineered to carry heavy payloads without affecting drive performance.
Dual-Mode Capability: Switch between manual and automated control for weld or corrosion tasks.
Weld Inspection: Multi-probe capability enables high-resolution coverage with fewer passes on pipes of any length.
Corrosion Mapping: Delivers accurate, repeatable data in both manual and automated scanning modes.
Radiography (RT): Provides safer, more flexible imaging in areas where cables limit accessibility.
Modular Link Expansion: Add sections as needed for any project scope.
Standard Kit Options: 24”, 36”, and 48” models available; custom sizes for larger diameters.
Adjustable Probe Mounts: Fine-tune positioning for a variety of UT probes and configurations.
Compact Storage & Transport: Breaks down quickly for easy relocation between job sites.
Durable Construction: Rugged, sealed components protect against environmental wear.
