Model 4040 Field Mouse Manual Scanner
[attachment=24644]
Manual Scanning
Imaging system operators now have the capability
to perform an inspection of complex geometry’s
with a minimal amount of hardware. This is due to
the creation of AMDATA’s latest manual scanner
known as the “Field Mouse”. Small and compact
the Field Mouse is ruggedly constructed to handle
industrial and field environments.
The Field Mouse is an optimal design addressing
the needs of portability, cost, and flexibility. As a
result, it has one encoded axis and one operator
defined axis and is well suited for quick imaging of
difficult geometric conditions. The magnetic V cut
front wheel holds the scanner on complex surfaces
in applications such as circumferential, axial and
even attachment (saddle) welds. In non-magnetic
application, a knurled encoder wheel and stroke by
stroke data collection keeps the mouse on track.
The Field Mouse in conjunction with a portable
AMDATA IntraSpectä imaging system, is ideal for
inspections by a single operator.
Benefits
· Provides the most portable, full imaging capability
possible.
· Allows one handed operation.
· Eliminates operator variability in coupling quality
normally associated with hand and manual scanning.
· Quick setup; no tracks required.
· Accommodates both line and raster scanning.
· Can work around indexing obstacles. Not restricted
to contacting the surface during indexing.
· Allows rapid assessment of a component’s condition.
· Can collect data from restricted areas or complex
geometries (such as piping elbows and vessel nozzles)
which are otherwise not accessible by track based
scanners.
