Scanners

Weld inspection scanners

Olympus has a wide range of scanners to address fabrication or maintenance weld inspections needs. We have solutions for small pipes up to flat plates with the capacity to hold multiple probes for complete weld volume coverage. Whether you choose a motorized or manual option, our scanners offer versatility, dependability, and repeatability.

AxSEAM

The semiautomated AxSEAM™ scanner eases long seam weld inspection in pipes. Monitor scan speed and couplant loss and start the data acquisition in the OmniScan™ unit on the ScanDeck™ Module. Easily adjustable probe holders support 4 probes, enabling PA, TOFD, and TFM inspection.

SteerROVER

The SteerROVER is a fully automated, steerable motorized scanner capable of performing weld inspection in remote locations. It can mount phased array as well as TOFD-P/E probes for inspection of circumferential or longitudinal welds.

WeldROVER™ Skener

The WeldROVER scanner is designed to make fast, efficient phased array inspections on ferromagnetic piping or vessel girth welds and long seams with minimal training and setup time.

HST-Lite Skener

The new HST-Lite scanner is the perfect choice for cost-effective, one-channel TOFD inspections when signal quality is important. The combination of magnetic wheels and spring-loaded probe holders offer the stability required to perform high quality, one-line inspections. The scanner can be operated using only one hand, and will attach to ferromagnetic surfaces even when in an upside-down position.

Mini-Wheel Encoder

The mini-Wheel Encoder is used for the positioning and dimensioning of defects in the scan axis. It can synchronize data acquisition with probe movement. It is also waterproof and compatible with Olympus standard PA wedges.

COBRA Scanner

The COBRA manual scanner combined with OmniScan X3 flaw detector is used to perform circumferential weld inspection on small-diameter pipes. The COBRA can hold two PA probes to inspect pipes with OD ranging from 0.84 to 4.5 in.

HSMT-Compact Scanner

The HSMT-Compact is a manual one-axis encoded scanner. In particular, it is light and small, and also versatile. It can be used (with up to 4 probes) on plates and for circumferential scans on pipes as small as 4.5 in. OD pipes.

HSMT-Flex Scanner

The HSMT-Flex is intended for manual one axis encoded inspection of circumference welds on pipes of 4.5 in. OD and greater. The scanner can be fitted with up to 8 probes using optional probe holders, thanks to its capacity to bend in the center.

HST-X04

The Olympus HST-X04 time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) manual scanner offers an efficient, low-cost, and versatile weld inspection solution.

VersaMOUSE Scanner

The VersaMOUSE™ is a scanner designed for linear encoded scans with a phased array probe. The integrated indexing button makes it ideal for 2-D mapping applications such as CFRP flat panel and corrosion inspections. The VersaMOUSE can perform an encoded one-line scan, followed by indexing of the position in the perpendicular direction. Another one-line scan can then be performed and juxtaposed to the previous scan. This process is repeated to produce a complete 2D map of the area of interest.

Corosion inspection scanners

Corrosion mapping is a highly demanding application that requires the capability to precisely encode the probe’s position in up to two axes. The scanners can be mounted on pipes and flat surfaces and are easy to use for fast detection of defects from manufacturing-induced lamination to in-service wall thickness reduction.

FlexoFORM

The innovative FlexoFORM scanner makes challenging pipe elbow corrosion inspection easier. The scanner’s flexible phased array technology makes it possible to use a single probe to cover the entire range of pipe elbow diameters.

SteerROVER

The SteerROVER is a fully automated, steerable motorized 2-axis scanner capable of performing corrosion mapping in remote locations. When combined with the HydroFORM or the DLA phased array corrosion mapping solutions, it is a powerful tool for C-Scan imaging of remaining wall thickness and mid-wall anomalies.

MapSCANNER

The MapSCANNER is a semiautomated, 2-axis corrosion inspection scanner. When combined with the HydroFORM or Dual Linear Array (DLA) phased array corrosion mapping solutions, it is a powerful, efficient tool for C-Scan imaging of remaining wall thickness and mid-wall anomalies.

MapROVER

The MapROVER is a fully automated, motorized 2-axis corrosion mapping scanner. When combined with the HydroFORM phased array corrosion mapping solution, it is a powerful tool for C-Scan imaging of remaining wall thickness and mid-wall anomalies.

HydroFORM/RexoFORM Scanners

By bringing a semiautomated phased array solution into the corrosion inspection market, Olympus has not only introduced a new technology, but also a new world of possibilities. Say goodbye to unsafe and unreliable motorized rastering of small UT probes; phased array probes cover a larger surface, and can be manually traveled at a safe speed. This solution enables inspectors to be more productive and collect higher resolution data.

ChainSCANNER

The ChainSCANNER provides a manual pipe-inspection solution for pipes between 1.75 to 38 in. OD. The scanner, held by chain links instead of magnetic wheels is well suited for weld or corrosion inspection on different type of materials. UT, TOFD, PA.

GLIDER Scanner

The GLIDER scanner is a 2-axis (X-Y) encoding scanner for the manual inspection of slightly curved or flat composite surfaces. The scanner, held by suction cups is well suited for raster scanning. Technologies: ECA, EC, UT, PA.

VersaMOUSE Scanner

The VersaMOUSE™ is a scanner designed for linear encoded scans with a phased array probe. The integrated indexing button makes it ideal for 2-D mapping applications such as CFRP flat panel and corrosion inspections. The VersaMOUSE can perform an encoded one-line scan, followed by indexing of the position in the perpendicular direction. Another one-line scan can then be performed and juxtaposed to the previous scan. This process is repeated to produce a complete 2D map of the area of interest.

Mini-Wheel Encoder

The mini-Wheel Encoder is used for the positioning and dimensioning of defects in the scan axis. It can synchronize data acquisition with probe movement. It is also waterproof and compatible with Olympus standard PA wedges.

Aerospace / wind blade inspection scanners

Inspecting large areas with fast C-scan acquisition is a critical feature for the aerospace industry. Scanners with suction cups are well suited to holding onto composite surfaces, so you can perform mapping with up to two precise encoded axes.

RollerFORM

The RollerFORM™ and RollerFORM XL wheel probes provide high-quality, immersion-like phased array ultrasonic testing of composite materials, such as those used in aerospace components and wind turbine blades. An affordable replacement for full 2D encoding systems, RollerFORM scanners offer a viable alternative to immersion techniques.
