SteerROVER™ Scanner for Weld Inspection and Corrosion Mapping
Rugged and portable, the SteerROVER™ motorized scanner is an easy-to-operate steerable magnetic scanning solution. Steer the scanner at a distance using the robust handheld remote controller with its easy-to-read touch screen. Leverage the SteerROVER scanner to simplify inspections of large ferromagnetic surfaces, such as pressure vessels and tanks, and achieve reliable phased array (PA) ultrasonic testing of areas that are difficult to reach.
The versatile scanning system can be configured with a motorized raster arm to perform corrosion monitoring or a probe holder rack to inspect both longitudinal and circumferential welds. Increase your ability to keep the scanner properly aligned by adding the optional RECON camera kit. Installing cameras on the scanner can help you navigate at a distance and verify that the PA probes are optimally positioned to acquire high-quality data.
Configurations
The SteerROVER scanner can be ordered in different configurations depending on the application (weld or corrosion) and by combining different raster arm and cable length options.
The two-camera RECON kit can be added to the SteerROVER scanner to assist in navigating at a distance, keeping the weld well centered, and helping ensure that the probes remain in contact with the surface.
The SteerROVER scanner and probe holder rack can bend to perform inspection of longitudinal welds.
The SteerROVER scanner, when fitted with a motorized raster arm, is a powerful solution for corrosion inspection in remote locations.
Features
Features
Steerable scanner comprised of two pods with independent motors and four strong magnetic wheels.
Touch screen remote with two joysticks; configurable so that scanner movement requires constant user input (jog) or so that one input starts the scanner and a second stops it.
Two automatic raster scan patterns are available.
Can be ordered with different choices of motorized raster arms for corrosion inspection or a probe holder rack for weld inspection with four probes (increase to six probes with optional probe holders).
Emergency-stop buttons located on the scanner and on the power controller.
Divisible cable conduit umbilical offers cable protection and flexible configurations.
