FEATURES
ROTIX Cart
The ROTIX cart's urethane wheels glide smoothly over rough surfaces, providing easy maneuverability. The handle offers convenience and comfort during operation, while the additional auxiliary connector accommodates optional Y-axis accessories. These are just a few features that make the ROTIX cart a valuable tool for your inspection needs.
Built-in Encoder
The ROTIX cart has been designed with the inclusion of an integrated encoder in its body. This encoder plays a crucial role in providing accurate position feedback during inspections. The encoder output from the ROTIX cart is fully compatible with all standard instruments, making it easy to integrate with your existing equipment.
Brake
The ROTIX scanner comes equipped with a reliable brake system that allows you to lock it securely in any desired position.
Cable Management
To provide added convenience, our cart body features a convenient clip, which is a practical solution for organizing and protecting cables. (Cable management sleeving is sold separately)
Adjustable QuickLink Chain
Using QuickLinks and an adjustable QuickLink buckle, pipes and tubes ranging from 7.6 - 96.5 cm (3 - 38 in) in diameter can be effortlessly scanned. Quicklinks facilitate swift and hassle-free connections, and assembling various chain configuration lengths is a breeze.
QuickLinks
With QuickLinks, you can effortlessly connect and disconnect with ease. Our user-friendly design ensures a seamless experience - latch them to click and press a button to disconnect.
PPS (Probe Positioning System)
This easy-to-use accessory allows simple positioning of 2 or 4 probes during weld inspections. With the PPS, you can easily control probe center spacing and adjust probe positioning on the go without the need to remove the scanner from a pipe. Record the probe's Y-Axis positioning with the optional PPS Encoder.
Slip Joint Probe Holders
These outstanding low-profile probe holders are compatible with most major types of phased array probes. Their user-friendly design allows for easy probe centre spacing adjustment, probe installation and an integrated latch to raise and lower the probes when appropriate.
Single Probe Inspection
The shorter 20 cm frame bar is perfect for those tight access applications. With this compact design, you can efficiently perform single probe inspections with a smaller scanner width, allowing you to navigate even the most challenging spaces.
