ScanTech X3 Spider Corrosion Mapping Scanner

ScanTech X3 Spider Corrosion Mapping Scanner

Ultrasonic Scanner Designed for Rigorous Industrial Applications

Overview

The X3 Spider is a 4th generation remote scanner capable of ultrasonic corrosion inspection on tanks, pipes and vessels. Constructed from Billet 6061 Aluminum and 303 Stainless Steel, the X3 offers a lightweight yet durable solution for precise inspections. The X3 is a highly maneuverable system capable of traversing difficult obstructions made possible by its high suspension compliance. The unit is completely sealed from the environment and has a hard coat anodized exterior to reduce environmental wear on the system. The scanner utilizes motors with the highest power density available to provide a high-performing crawler. Single and dual element transducers are available with the system to adjust for variable conditions.
