The Axis Scanner from ScanTech is a state-of-the-art scanning platform engineered to deliver high power density and exceptional versatility in industrial settings. Built upon ScanTech’s advanced Wheel Pack™ (WP) platform, this scanner is designed to perform ultrasonic B-Scans with precision and efficiency on small radius vessels, dryer rolls, and piping. The Axis Scanner combines robust, field-tested components with cutting-edge technology, ensuring unmatched reliability, performance, and ease of use.
This scanner meets the demanding requirements of industrial inspections, offering superior adhesion on vertical and inverted surfaces, precise positioning, and high-quality data return, all while maintaining a lightweight and portable design.
High Power Density: Despite its lightweight design at 10 lb., the Axis Scanner provides a pulling force over five times its weight, making it a leader in power and performance.
Versatile Design: Engineered for ultrasonic B-Scans, the scanner self-adjusts to both outer and inner radii for maximum magnetic wheel contact and superior surface adhesion.
Accurate Positioning: Features an integrated magnetic encoder that ensures precise positioning, eliminating the risk of wheel slippage and delivering reliable data.
Easy Removal: Ergonomic handles with fulcrum blocks simplify the removal process, even against strong magnetic forces, enhancing usability in the field.
Reliable Drive System: Equipped with powerful WP drive modules and ScanTech’s proprietary “STC” control system, the Axis Scanner maintains consistent performance across various applications.
Superior Data Return: Utilizes the ACR couplant flow and CCP probe mechanisms to ensure higher-quality ultrasonic testing results, reducing turbulence and water consumption while maintaining constant contact force.
WP Drive Modules: The Axis Scanner is powered by WP drive modules, which deliver high torque and precision control, ensuring superior performance in demanding conditions.
STC Control System: The proprietary STC control system minimizes conductors, resulting in a lighter umbilical and easy expandability for additional axes or features.
Magnetic Encoder: Integrated magnetic encoder enhances positioning accuracy, providing reliable data free from the effects of wheel slippage during steering.
ACR & CCP Mechanisms: Advanced ACR couplant flow and CCP probe mechanisms offer optimized ultrasonic testing with bubble-free water column delays and consistent probe contact.
Ultrasonic B-Scans: Ideal for performing high-precision ultrasonic B-Scans on small radius vessels, dryer rolls, and piping, ensuring maximum surface contact and data accuracy.
Corrosion Mapping: Provides detailed and accurate corrosion mapping in various industrial environments, ensuring structural integrity and safety.
General Ultrasonic Testing: Versatile enough to be used in a wide range of ultrasonic testing applications, including critical inspections and routine maintenance.
Ergonomic Design: Handles with fulcrum blocks simplify the removal process, even in environments with high magnetic force, enhancing ease of use.
Lightweight Construction: At only 10 lb., the Axis Scanner offers portability without sacrificing power, making it easy to transport and deploy in the field.
High Compliance Suspension: Ensures smooth operation across uneven surfaces, improving the scanner’s adaptability to various industrial conditions.
Toolless Adjustments: Quick and easy wheel angle adjustments ensure the scanner can be rapidly set up for small radii, enhancing flexibility and reducing downtime.
Integrated Magnetic Encoder: Delivers accurate positioning and reliable data, crucial for maintaining high standards in industrial inspections.
