Linear Scanning with the Glider

Linear scanning can be a challenge if the scanner is too bulky to properly adapt to the physical shape of the part being inspected. In this situation, the X3 Glider is often the solution. The Glider is a made of the same patented rubber wedge as the Sonatest Wheelprobe 2. It guarantees exceptional acoustic performance and easily adapts to irregular surfaces, making it the ideal solution for composite radiuses or changes in geometry. Moreover, when combined with the RSflite and the AXYS scanner, the Glider has a small footprint and can record individual C-scan stripes with unsurpassed speed. The overall inspection can be reconstructed and further analysed in the Sonatest UTmap software.
