Motorized circumferential and longitudinal weld scanning with up to 6 probes.
An impressive motorized scanning package for circumferential or axial weld inspection, the SKOOT - Weld Scanner can carry 2 to 6 probes on ferrous materials. Powerful magnetic wheels allow inverted inspection, while the built-in encoder provides positional feedback to a user's instrument. Follow welds easily due to the small form factor of the SKOOT crawler, which is controlled remotely via the rugged handheld controller. The SKOOT is compatible with several types of probe holder frames that cover many different types of inspection applications.

Features
Low Profile Design
The SKOOT requires a radial clearance of 11.4 cm (4.5 in), which allows for inspection in limited-access applications.
Magnetic Wheels
The SKOOT can operate on vertical, horizontal and inverted surfaces using rare-earth magnets.
Scan Versatility
The SKOOT can facilitate circumferential scans on pipes as small as 6.4 cm (2.5 in) OD and 68.6 cm (27 in) ID. In addition, flat surface scans and longitudinal scanning on pipes as small as 76.2 cm (30 in) OD are available.
Backpack
The optional backpack conveniently carries ultrasonic accessories with the unit.
Up to 6 Probes
Various probe holder frames are available for use with the SKOOT. Carry up to 6 probes during circumferential or longitudinal scanning.
Handheld Controller
Program single-axis paths from up to 30 m (100 ft) away using the intuitive handheld remote control. The ergonomic handheld controls speed and so much more.
Battery Power
Order the SKOOT with the battery kit and avoid using heavy, cumbersome generators. These rechargeable batteries can power the SKOOT system and accessories for hours at a time.
Warranty
3-year limited warranty on all JIREH products.
