CLIX

Modular Chain Scanner

The CLIX Chain Scanner is a modular inspection platform engineered for weld inspection, corrosion mapping, and radiography (RT) 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″ with 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.

*Wireless configuration available for RT only.

BENEFITS

  • Flexible Diameter Coverage: Chain link design expands to any pipe diameter with consistent, secure linking for precise scans.
  • Unmatched Payload Capacity: Handles heavier loads without sacrificing stability or accuracy.
  • Total Modularity: Quickly reconfigure size and setup to fit standard 24”, 36”, and 48” kits, or custom builds above 48”.
  • 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: Consistent performance across a wide range of materials.
  • Custom Configurations Available: Engineered-to-order for pipe diameters larger than 48”.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

  • 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: Each weld-inspection cart holds 2–4 probes; add carts as needed for greater coverage (capacity varies by pipe diameter).
  • Wireless Motion Control: Available for RT. Eliminates cables and tripping hazards while increasing mobility and safety.
  • Load-Optimized Framework: Engineered to carry heavy payloads without affecting drive performance.
  • Multiple Operation Modes: Supports both manual and automated control across weld inspection and corrosion mapping.

APPLICATIONS

  • 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.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

  • 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.
