The GLIDER X-Y Scanner is a 2-axis encoding scanner for the manual inspection of slightly curved or flat composite surfaces. The scanner is well suited for raster scanning with the following technologies:
Conventional ultrasonics (UT)
Phased array ultrasonics (PAUT)
Eddy current (EC)
Eddy current array (ECA)
Commonly inspected materials include composites and aluminum, using suction-cup pods; and carbon steel, using optional magnetic pods.
