AXYS
Overview
AXYS is a universal accessory for single axis inspections, easily set up without any tools.
The AXYS magnetic encoder’s IP68 isolated electronics have been designed and tested to protect against dust ingress and can be used under water for prolonged periods of time. The exposed mechanical components have all been selected for their resilience to dust, chemicals and water. This combination really does mean the AXYS encoder can go anywhere that probes and wedges do. The AXYS clamp enables you to attach our encoder to all our probes and wedges and those from other manufacturers.
Features
AXYS Encoder
- The position of the encoder can be rotated through 90 degrees enabling scanning in multiple directions.
- The angle of the encoder can be adjusted. There are 12 possible positions through 360 degress (30 degree steps). With 60 degrees of movement in the spring, the encoder can be adjusted to any angle.
- The fixed step approach means the angular adjustment of the encoder is truly toolless.
- Designed and tested with an ingress protection rating of IP68.
AXYS Clamp
- Provided with a spare stainless steel solid wheel for use on surfaces where the standard rubber wheel may slip.
- Clamp width can be adjusted from 11 mm to 55 mm.
- Clamping force can be easily adjusted using the clamp adjustment screw.
- The AXYS clamp can be used with any manufacturer's wedge and probe combination.

Resources
Linear Scanning with the Glider
The RSflite workflow is designed for composite inspections.
Manual Phased Array Corrosion Investigation using a Prisma
An easy-to-use solution to assess the remaining wall thickness of tubes, pipes and vessels.
Low Frequency PA Inspection
The inspection of heavy composites thicker than 50 mm (2 inches) causes significant limitations for conventional phased array probes.
Low Frequency PAUT Inspection of GFRP
Certain heterogeneous materials can be highly attenuative to ultrasound. As a result, lower frequency probes are required, especially for thick sections which otherwise can be difficult to inspect.
Inspection of Composite Structures
With advances in composite design and manufacturing to satisfy new applications, complex geometries are often required.
