ScanTech Vertex Scanner

ScanTech Vertex Scanner

Modular, 2-Axis Powerful Pipe Scanner

Versatile, Portable & Reliable

The Vertex Scanner is a modular, 2-axis scanning platform designed for versatility and precision in industrial inspections. Its compatibility with various systems makes it an adaptable choice for both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The Vertex Scanner features a compact and robust design, with dimensions of 10.5" x 7.5" x 5.0", and a weight of 15.0 lbs. Its drive units deliver a speed of 6" per second under full load, while the lead screw raster arm achieves speeds of up to 36" per second. The scanner is capable of inspecting circumferential pipes with minimum diameters of 6" using the front raster arm and 3" using the side raster arm.

Front Raster Arm

Features

  • Modularity: Tool-less attachments for Front Raster Arm, Side Raster Arm, and Multi-Probe Weld Scans.
  • Versatility: Scans circumferentially on carbon steel using magnetic wheels or on non-ferrous materials such as carbon fiber and stainless steel using our chain attachment system.
  • Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with our powerful Analyst Controller and software or connects to third-party Phased Array systems.
  • Field Proven Design: Straight-line probe lift ensures greater ruggedness and positional accuracy compared to linear guides.
  • Adjustability: Rigid dovetail probe yoke offers wide adjustability for most probes, including Phased Array Probes, while maintaining necessary rigidity.
  • Stability: Patented Anti-Tip probe gimbal provides best-in-class stability and UT signal return. Combined with our near-constant force spring design, it ensures superior performance and ease over welds.
  • STC Distributed, Modular Control System: Minimizes cable conductors for a lighter umbilical and offers easy expandability for additional axes and features.
  • Tool-less Adjustments: Simplifies attachment points and wheel angle adjustments for small radii.
  • Spring Design: Offers the most constant contact force over full travel
  • Quick Adjustments: Ensure proper probe contact on pipe surfaces for both circumferential and longitudinal scans.
  • Anti-Tip Probe Mechanism: Prevents probes from flipping over
  • Efficiently maps corrosion in various industrial structures.
