* For "V" models, compressed air characteristics must correspond to the following specifications: Required pressure: 490 kPa to 690 kPa (71 psi to 100 psi) Flow rate: 566 nl/min (20 SCFM) minimum

Two encoded axes for X-Y scans
Axis positioning with minimal backlash
Vacuum cups mounted on the flexible axis ease installation on both concave and convex nonferromagnetic surfaces.
Scanner can be used vertically or upsidedown using Venturi vacuum cups (WING Scanner "V" models only).
NOTE: The scanner must always be secured with a lanyard when used on vertical or upsidedown surfaces.
Suitable for phased array and conventional UT inspection techniques using one probe
Can operate with an OmniScan® or TomoScan FOCUS LT™ acquisition unit.
Also available in a manually activated vacuum-cup version that eliminates the need for air supply (WING Scanner H1 model)

Flexible X-axis

Very flexible contour-following track
Encoder module follows the flexible track (resolution: 39.7 steps/mm).
Locking lever on the encoder module
Integrated loop on one end to secure the scanner against accidental falls.

Rigid Y-axis

16 mm diameter hard-anodized aluminum shaft with stainless steel toothed rack
Shaft is mounted on a pivot, allowing constant contact between the probe and the part.
Shaft does not move under its own weight when the indexing dial is engaged.
Fully adjustable and tool-free, probe-alignment device
Indexing increments: 0.5 mm and 1 mm
Axis-locking thumb screw

The WING™ Scanner is a two-axis scanner for manual ultrasonic inspections. One scanning axis is flexible and conforms to the contour of the part being inspected. Vacuum cups make the WING Scanner well-suited for nonferromagnetic surface inspections.

Typical applications include the inspection of friction stir welding (FSW) and the inspection to detect delamination, cracks, and corrosion on plates and airplane fuselage.
