Steer ROVER In NDT

Why Steer ROVER in NDT

The Steer ROVER is a rugged and portable motorised scanner designed for seamless operation in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) applications.

1. Steerable Magnetic Scanning:

  • The scanner can be remotely steered using a robust handheld controller with an easy-to-read touch screen.
  • Achieve precise movements and consistent performance during inspections.

2. Large Ferromagnetic Surfaces:

  • Simplify inspections of large ferromagnetic surfaces, including pressure vessels and tanks.
  • Cover extensive areas efficiently without compromising accuracy.

3. Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PA-UT):

  • The Steer ROVER enables reliable PA-UT in areas that are traditionally difficult to reach.
  • Access tight spaces and complex geometries with ease.
