Motorised steerable scanner
24/08/2018
Olympus has announced the addition of a motorised steerable scanner to its line of solutions for ultrasonic and phased array testing. The field-tested, remote-controlled SteerROVER™ scanner is the most advanced and versatile motorised scanner offered by Olympus. Like its forerunner, the MapROVER™ scanner, the SteerROVER scanner performs circumferential weld inspection and corrosion mapping using a raster arm, yet is capable of much more.The innovative design of the SteerROVER creates the following added advantages:
- Inspection at heights without expensive scaffolding: steer to hard-to-reach areas thanks to the scanner’s two pods with independent motors and four strong magnetic wheels;
- Easy to control: adjust the scanner’s position in relation to the weld or the zone to be mapped using an intuitive touchscreen remote and two joysticks;
- Versatile: packages offered with either a motorised raster arm for corrosion inspection or a four-probe holder rack for weld inspection (other options also available);
- Longitudinal inspection of welds on pipes with outside diameter as small as 12 inches: the drive pods and pivoting probe holder can fold to adapt to a range of pipe diameters.
