Phased array flaw detector RollerFORM™ series

ultrasonicfor the aerospace industryfor materials

The RollerFORM™ phased array wheel probe is used to inspect composites and other smooth-surfaced materials. An affordable and easy-to-implement replacement for full 2D encoding systems, the RollerFORM scanner is a viable alternative to immersion techniques. The RollerFORM tire’s unique material provides high-quality, immersion-like ultrasonic testing. Minimal couplant and pressure are required to achieve excellent coupling and a strong signal, even in difficult scanning positions. Features • Offered in two sizes with a 51.2 mm or 128 mm beam width. • Exceptional coupling with minimal couplant. • Acoustic impedance similar to water. • 25 mm water delay line enables inspection of composites up to 50 mm thick. • Can be used in accordance with existing aircraft manufacturer procedures. Standard Inclusions • Phased array probe with OmniScan connector. • Waterproof encoder. • Laser guide. • Indexer and Start Acquisition buttons. • Filling/spraying pump and tubing. Just Roll It for Instant Results The RollerFORM scanner, combined with an OmniScan flaw detector, uses zero-degree ultrasonic beams for manufacturing and maintenance inspections. Common applications include delamination sizing and porosity quantification in composite core material, as well as wall-loss monitoring in metals. The RollerFORM XL scanner’s wider tire and probe offer greater coverage for increased productivity and improved probability of detection (POD). For more attenuative materials, the 1 MHz version of the RollerFORM XL scanner has a larger aperture, which improves the ultrasound beam penetration for challenging applications such as wind blade spar cap and shear web bonding
