SteerROVER Scanner for Weld Inspection and Corrosion Mapping The SteerROVER portable motorized scanner is based on the field-proven MapROVERscanner, but adds steering capabilities so that users can position it from a distance. This functionality is useful when inspecting large ferromagnetic surfaces, such as pressure vessels and tanks, where the area to be inspected is out of the operator’s reach. The scanner can be configured for corrosion mapping with a motorized raster arm or for weld inspection (both longitudinal and circumferential) with a probe holder rack. The scanner is controlled using an intuitive touch screen remote control, so there is no need to bring a laptop to the inspection site. The only connection is between the power controller and the OmniScan or FOCUS PX flaw detector’s encoder input. Configurations The SteerROVER scanner can be ordered in different configurations depending on the application (weld or corrosion) and by combining different raster arm and cable length options. The SteerROVER scanner and probe holder rack can bend to perform inspection of longitudinal welds. The SteerROVER scanner, when fitted with a motorized raster arm, is a powerful solution for corrosion inspection in remote locations.
