Aerospace/Wind Blade Inspection Scanners

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.

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.

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.

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.
