Features

Portability and Reliability: Field-proven probe attachments ensure durability and ease of use.
Enhanced Stability: Patented Anti-Tip probe gimbal and near-constant force spring design for superior UT signal return and quality readings.
Environmental Resistance: Proprietary straight line motion probe mechanism with sealed rotary bearings withstands stronger reaction forces and harsh conditions.
Greater Flexibility: Common button type probe mounts fit most PA probes, offering a wide range of probe options.
Improved Rigidity: Rigid probe width adjustment with dovetail lock for enhanced performance in real-world conditions.
STC Distributed, Modular Control System: Minimizes conductors for a lighter umbilical and easy expandability for additional axes or features.

New Mid-Section Body Design: High compliance suspension for better adaptability.
Tool-less Attachment Points: Simplifies wheel angle adjustments for small radii and ensures quick setup and flexibility.
ACR Design: Probe coupling design reduces turbulence and water consumption, with the latest spring design offering near-constant contact force.
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.
