ROTIX - 4 Probe Weld Scanner w/ PPS
ROTIX - 4 Probe Weld Scanner w/ PPS
The ROTIX – 4 Probe Weld Scanner with PPS (probe positioning system) is a manual chain scanner designed to provide encoded probe position of two phased array and two TOFD probes circumferentially around tubes and pipes. The integrated probe positioning system allows the operator to adjust the probe offsets without removing the scanner.
Part ID: CEG011
Four probe cantilever scanning with a PPS (probe positioning system) and Y-axis encoding (with optional encoder).
FEATURES
ADJUSTABLE CHAIN
With various link lengths and an adjustable buckle, pipe diameters of 3.8 cm - 96.5 cm (1.5 in 38 in) can be scanned. Quick-release links allow for simple and easy scanning of various diameter scan surfaces.
PROBE POSITIONING SYSTEM
The Probe Positioning System (PPS) provides quick adjustment of the probe center spacing and allows an operator to center the four probes over the weld without requiring scanner removal.
UMBILICAL
The umbilical is modular and can be removed from the scanner. It can be used for one-axis and two-axis scans when used with optional accessories.
BRAKE
A brake is provided to lock the scanner in a required position.
WHEELS
All wheels are coated with urethane to reduce the effects of foreign debris obstructing the rolling of the scanner. Urethane also eliminates the sideways sliding of the scanner when used in vertical applications.
REMOVABLE HANDLE
The ROTIX includes a removable cover that allows easy access to protected connections while also providing cable management.
BUILT-IN ENCODER
An encoder is integrated into the body of the ROTIX cart. The encoder output is fully compatible with all standard instruments.
PROBE HOLDERS
An integrated latch allows easy probe center spacing adjustment and scanner installation. Due to its modular design, most major phased array probes and wedges can be accommodated.
WARRANTY
A limited 3-year warranty covers JIREH equipment.

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION
STABILIZER WHEEL
A magnetized stabilizer wheel maintains frame bar balance during scan operations.
SLIP JOINT PROBE HOLDERS
Maintain constant contact between the inspection surface and the probe with a low profile, spring-loaded probe holders. Extremely adjustable, these probe holders accommodate most industry-standard phased array and TOFD probes and wedges.
PPS ENCODER
The optional PPS Encoder provides encoded y-axis travel information.
CART
The ROTIX cart is paired with urethane wheels for smooth, unobstructed motion upon scan surfaces.
SHORT LINK
Various amounts of single-wheel short links are included in each kit configuration.
SHORT LINK WITH DOVETAIL
Utilize the short link with dovetail to mount accessories such as cable management to the chain system.
CATCH LINK
Works in conjunction with the buckle to mount the scanner to the pipe/tube.
BUCKLE
The buckle connects to the catch link to complete the chain system. Adjust the buckle to control the chain's tension around the pipe/tube exterior.
LONG LINK
Equivalent to (approx.) 3 short links, the long link is used for larger diameter scans.
