Scorpion DCP
Remote, dry coupled ultrasonic crawler

 

The Scorpion DCP is a rugged remote access ultrasonic crawler designed to allow cost effective ultrasound thickness measurements on above ground ferro-magnetic structures without the need for costly scaffolding or rope access.

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.

The system is compatible with ANY ultrasonic system that can operate in Echo to Echo or Through Transmission mode. Supplied with a lightweight, flexible 50 metre umbilical cable the Scorpion DCP is capable of accessing the furthest point of most structures without the need for scaffolding. The system is battery operated and is powered by the Sitemaster 30 battery pack which is capable of 8 hours operation on a single charge.
