APPLICATIONS

Weld Inspections: Ensures precise and reliable weld scanning with minimal turbulence and water consumption.

Corrosion Mapping: Provides accurate and efficient mapping of corrosion in various industrial settings.

General Ultrasonic Testing: Suitable for a broad range of ultrasonic testing applications, including B-Scan, C-Scan, and more.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

New Mid-Section Body Design: High compliance suspension for better adaptability.

Toolless Attachment Points: Simplifies wheel angle adjustments for small radii.

Spring Design: Offers the most constant contact force over full travel.

Probe Guide Hardware: Ensures reliability and ruggedness in lightweight, modular, multi-probe configurations.

Quick Adjustments: Ensure proper probe contact on pipe surfaces for both circumferential and longitudinal scans.

Anti-Tip Probe Mechanism: Prevents probes from flipping over.

The Apex Scanner boasts compact dimensions with a length of 10.5 inches, width of 10.8 inches, and height of 4.95 inches, making it highly portable. Weighing just 19 lbs, it features robust drive units with speeds up to 36 inches per second and high torque output.
