Olympus Glider X-Y Scanner

The GLIDER X-Y Scanner is a 2-axis encoding scanner for the manual inspection of slightly curved or flat composite surfaces. The scanner is well suited for raster scanning with the following technologies:

Conventional ultrasonics (UT)
Phased array ultrasonics (PAUT)
Eddy current (EC)
Eddy current array (ECA)

Commonly inspected materials include composites and aluminum, using suction-cup pods; and carbon steel, using optional magnetic pods.

• Techniques: Conventional, Phased Array, Composite
• Pipe size from: Flat
• Probes: Single
• Two axes with waterproof encoders for position-encoded X-Y scan and axis positioning with minimal backlash

• Inspection of composites
• Inspection of airplane fuselages for delamination and cracking
• Inspection of ferromagnetic plates for corrosion
• Inspection of friction stir welds (FSW) on aluminum
