Jireh ROTIX – Reduced Width Scanner
Facilitate inspection when a minimal scanner footprint is required.
Have questions about buying this product?
Designed to reduce the amount of insulation/coating required to be removed from a pipe for inspection. The ROTIX – Reduced Width Scanner may operate in as little as 10 cm (3.94 in) of width during single probe scanning, while dual probe scanning may be achieved with a width of only 25 (9.84 in) necessary. With integrated positional encoding and a chain system that permits scanning on both ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces, the reduced width scanner is the optimal choice when a minimal footprint is required (i.e. coating/insulation removal near a girth weld, elbows, flanges, etc.).
Minimal Footprint
Single probe scanning requires a width of only 10 cm (3.94 in), while dual probe scanning can be achieved with a width of only 25 cm (9.84 in).
Adjustable Chain
Inspect pipe diameters of 10.2 cm – 96.5 cm (4 in – 38 in) with the chain system. The quick release links are designed to be added or removed with ease.
Double Wheel Chain
A double wheel chain straddles the weld during scan operations. This allows the scanner to be centered on the weld, which reduces wandering and the width of the scanner.
Four Probe Scanning
With the addition of a ROTIX – two probe reduced width add-on kit, the scanner will accommodate four probes.
Wheels
The wheels of the ROTIX are coated with urethane to reduce the effects of foreign debris obstructing the motion of the scanner. Magnetic wheels may also be substituted.
Integrated encoder
A positional X-Axis encoder is integrated into the reduced width link. The encoder output is fully compatible with all standard instruments.
Probe Holders
Extremely versatile vertical probe holders affix the probes to the scan surface. Near infinitely adjustable, the included vertical probe holders are compatible with most significant types of phased array wedges.
Warranty
Reliability and craftsmanship are hallmarks of the JIREH brand, but should you have trouble, we back our products with a 3-year warranty.
