STIX - Magnetic Corrosion Scanner

STIX - Magnetic Corrosion Scanner

Translate phased array probes around ferrous piping and vessels with the STIX - Magnetic Corrosion Scanner. Designed to perform precision corrosion inspection, the STIX is a manual scanner with a built-in positional encoder and index encoder.

FEATURES

CORROSION SCANNING

Perform precision corrosion scans with ease. This magnetic scanner manually provides encoded probe positioning on ferrous inspection surfaces.

SCAN CONTROL

The carrier, to which the heavy duty probe holder connects, includes a locking handle which aligns the probe's scan path. Lift the handle and slide the carrier to the next index position (configurable depending on the probe size) to align to the following scan path.

ENCODING

High-resolution positional encoding built-in to the corrosion link is compatible with all standard instruments. Track scans along the y-axis at the preset positions of the frame bar.

WHEELS

The magnetic wheels are coated with urethane to reduce the effects of foreign debris obstructing the scanner motion. When required, additional magnetic wheels may be added to the scanner to increase the magnetic attraction further.

HEAVY DUTY VERTICAL PROBE HOLDER

Designed to carry large probes, the heavy-duty vertical probe holder is compatible with the Olympus HydroFORM when used in conjunction with the HydroFORM Cart.

BRAKES

Hold the position of the scanner in place when required.

CABLE MANAGEMENT

Cable clips allow for routing probe cables and irrigation tubes in an organized, efficient manner on the scanner. This is in addition to cable management which protects tubes and cables.

THREE YEAR WARRANTY

Manufactured to last. All Jireh equipment comes with a 3-year warranty.

COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION


HEAVY DUTY VERTICAL PROBE HOLDER

Incredibly adjustable to accommodate a seemingly infinite number of probe and wedge sizes and scan directions.

CARRIER

With locking options and cable management, the carrier slides effortlessly along the stroke of the scanner carrying the heavy duty vertical probe holder.

OVER-THE-TOP LINK

One link contains the positional encoder, while the opposite link is unencoded. Together they operate as the backbone of the scanner. Tall enough that the carrier and probe holder can pass through underneath.

Y-AXIS ENCODER

The y-axis encoder tracks the probe position along the stroke.

ENCODER CABLE

Compatible with most industry standard instruments, the encoder cable carries the X and Y positional information to the user's equipment.

MAGNETIC WHEELS

Magnetic wheels affix the scanner to ferrous surfaces. Additional wheels may be added to the scanner to increase magnetic attraction.

SCANNER FRAME

Preset scan positions are built-in into the frame bar, which carries the carrier and probe holder along the length of the stroke. 

CABLE MANAGEMENT

Cable management organizes cables and tubes as well as offers protection. Cable clips and cable management on the carrier further increase the organizational capabilities of the scanner.
