The Scorpion DCP remote access crawler – UT NDT

Home » NDT Equipment » Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Systems » Scorpion DCP & Scorpion BP



	A magnetically attached, non encoded, remote access crawler with a dry coupled ultrasonic wheel probe designed to allow cost effective Ultrasonic thickness measurements on above ground ferro-magnetic structures.

The Scorpion DCP remote access crawler uses a unique “Dry Coupled” wheel probe eliminating the need for traditional couplant. This allows the crawler to travel vertically, horizontally or even inverted whilst still fully functional. Compatible with ANY ultrasonic system, a 50 metre umbilical cable allows access to the furthest point of most structures without the need for scaffolding.

Key Features

Unique Dry Coupled Wheel Transducer

Remote Operation with No Height Restriction

12VDC Self Contained System

Supplied with 50M Umbilical

A pair of 12mm thick Ro-Cee rubber tyres fit over the Probe axle. A cork washer prevents cross talk between each side of the transducer.
Also a neodymium magnet mounted in front of the wheel probe maintains adequate probe pressure

UT set connects to the Control Module via standard BNC connectors.
