Detachable R-Scan Array Scanner
The RMS integrates a detachable hand-held manual scanner for
the inspection of smaller areas and assets ranging from 4 inch
(100 mm) to flat plate.
The R-Scan Array can be purchased as an independent scanner,
simply connect the scanner to a M2M Gekko or Mantis and
you have a semi-automated phased-array corrosion mapping
system with on-board data collection capabilities.
Ideal for complex geometry components and restricted access
areas the R-Scan Array offers improved inspection dexterity and
total battery operated portability.
