Why Choose AutoWeldScan?
Complete Package Includes

1. Dual PA + TOFD for Complete Weld Coverage


✔ 2 x 64-element phased arrays + 4 TOFD probes for full-volume inspection
✔ Multi-group scanning – Each PA splits into 4 subgroups (8 total) for enhanced defect detection
✔ Real-time S-scan (100 Hz) enables high-speed scanning (6-9 m/min)

2. Lightweight & Rugged Field Design


✔ Ultra-light scanner (3.5 kg) – Easy to install without guide belts
✔ IP64 protection – Resists dust, moisture, and harsh environments
✔ Magnetic wheels & laser guide – Ensures stable positioning on pipes

3. Effortless Operation


✔ No physical contact needed – Adjust via remote control or Aquadrive unit
✔ Automated option – Barcode band & camera for hands-free scanning
✔ Works on uneven surfaces – Floating suspension adapts to weld irregularities

4. Smart Aquadrive Control Unit


✔ Integrated couplant system – Patented pump uses only 450 mL per 1420 mm pipe
✔ 8-hour hot-swap battery – Powers scanner & acquisition unit
✔ Real-time monitoring – Displays speed, battery, couplant flow

5. Broad Application Range

✔ Fits all weld types:
  • CRC-Evans, J-bevel, V-bevel, X-groove
  • Pipe diameters: 200 mm to 1420 mm
  • Wall thickness: 6 mm to 40+ mm
✔ Detects all critical flaws:
  • Cracks, lack of fusion, porosity, hi-lo, undercut
