Brand: Alliance Solutions Group
Availability: InStock

Product variants

The NAVIC - 3-Axis Nozzle Scanner utilizes a single pod of the NAVIC system to carry a specialized probe holder on nozzles and fitting welds. Incredible precision and accuracy are obtained with three different encoders measuring scanner position, probe position and probe skew.

The NDT industry's first motorized nozzle scanner

FEATURES

MOTORIZED DRIVING AND STEERING

Variable drive speed and steering control.

ENCODED SKEW VERTICAL PROBE HOLDER

An inventive probe holder offers 12.2 cm (4.8 in) of vertical travel and an encoded skew measurement. As the probe travels around a weld, constant probe contact with the scan surface is maintained thanks to this unique vertical probe holder. It also features an encoded skew which measures the degrees to which the probe has been rotated horizontally.

REMOTE CONTROL

Program scan and raster paths from up to 30 m (100 ft) away using the intuitive handheld remote control. The ergonomic handheld controller includes programming of raster patterns, drive paths and system diagnostics.

SLIDER PROBE POSITIONING SYSTEM

Make quick adjustments to the probe distance from the weld without requiring scanner removal. The included encoder ensures precise measurement along the frame bar.

Y-AXIS ENCODING

Measure the probe distance from the weld.

MANY ACCESSORIES

Enhance the NAVIC's capability with optional accessories: battery-powered optical guide, onboard camera, backpack, cable management, preamp and motorized couplant pump.

BATTERY POWER

Order the NAVIC with the battery kit and avoid using heavy, cumbersome generators. These rechargeable batteries can power the NAVIC system and accessories for hours at a time.

WARRANTY

A three-year warranty backs it all JIREH products. Contact us for more information.

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION

BASE CRAWLER

The powerful base crawler carries probe holder frames, raster arms and a multitude of accessories for the purposes of weld and corrosion inspection.

INTEGRATED ENCODER

A spring-loaded encoder maintains surface contact on all various scan surface diameters.

MAGNETIC WHEELS

Powerful magnetic wheels ensure the crawler remains fixed to any ferrous surface.

POWER CONTROLLER

Compatible with North American, European and UK power sources, the power controller connects the user instrument and handheld controller to the base crawler.

UMBILICAL

The backbone of communication between the power controller and the base crawler.

HANDHELD CONTROLLER

Containing the NAVIC operating system, the handheld controller joysticks control the speed and steering of the base crawler. At the same time, the intuitive touchscreen allows for more intricate raster path and drive programming.
