Manual TOFD Scanner
TecScan offers a dual axis manual scanner specifically designed for Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) applications. This Manual TOFD Scanner was designed to perform encoded TOFD inspections parallel (X) and perpendicular (Y) to the weld orientation, with indexing capabilities on the Y axis. With the ability to move the probe assembly on both axes, and move the individual probes apart with the simple turn of an adjustment knob, this manual scanner makes TOFD adjustments simple. Pipe Scanner configuration for inspection of welds is also available.
Two axis scanner designed for TOFD welds inspections.
