Key advantages
- Customized design allows integration of the system into existing production line
- Easy to upgrade for future requirements due to modular design
- High productivity due to automated inspection process
- Easy handling thanks to user-friendly hardware and software
- Quick installation for shortened testing periods
The Solution
Using a modular approach, ROSEN has developed the SCAN-IT testing systems, which can be easily modified to inspect various types of assets. The SCAN-IT inspection solution for solid axles is a three-axis ultrasonic scanner system with a roller station using immersion technology. For loading and unloading, an automated handling system places pre-machined or finished axles into the immersion basin for inspection. The control and data evaluation software automatically positions the probe for scanning in a helical pattern. Potential damages and critical inspection areas can be analyzed and are reported in a test log after inspection.
