NAVIC - Weld Scanner
NAVIC - Weld Scanner
Track welds circumferentially or longitudinally with up to 6 probes. Follow welds with the steerable, remote-operated NAVIC - Weld Scanner, equipped with magnetic wheels, allowing vertical and inverted weld inspection to be performed easily. Various probe holder frames expand the weld scanning possibilities. From low-profile for restricted access to spiral welds and long seam inspection, the NAVIC is the industry leader in non-destructive testing for weld inspection.
The optimal choice for weld inspection on ferrous surfaces
FEATURES
MOTORIZED DRIVING AND STEERING
Variable drive speed and steering give the user precise control during weld inspection.
RUGGED
Designed to handle intense tasks and challenging environments (dust-tight, watertight)
MAGNETIC WHEELS
Magnetic wheels provide the foundation for scan operations on ferrous surfaces.
LOW PROFILE DESIGN
The NAVIC can circumnavigate pipes as small as 7 cm (2.75 in) OD while only requiring 7 cm (2.75 in) of radial clearance when low-profile scanning is needed.
REMOTE CONTROL
Program drive paths from up to 30 m (100 ft) away using the intuitive handheld remote control. The ergonomic handheld controller includes drive paths and system diagnostics.
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.
MANY ACCESSORIES
Enhance the NAVIC's capability with optional accessories: battery-powered optical guide, onboard camera, backpack, cable management, preamp and motorized couplant pump.
WARRANTY
Engineered and designed to perform flawlessly. Our products feature a limited warranty for three years.

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
BASE CRAWLER
The robust base crawler carries probe holder frames, raster arms and many accessories for 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
The power controller connects the user instrument and handheld controller to the base crawler and is compatible with North American and European power sources.
UMBILICAL
The umbilical connects the crawler and the base crawler, providing communication and power between the components.
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.
