Simplify Ferrous Corrosion Inspection

Transform your corrosion inspection procedures with the STIX - Magnetic Corrosion Scanner. This innovative device allows you to maneuver phased array probes along ferrous piping and vessels with unparalleled accuracy. Equipped with a state-of-the-art positional and index encoder, the STIX guarantees precise and dependable inspections, revolutionizing how you assess corrosion.

Note: The HydroFORM Cart is sold separately. To accommodate the HydroFORM Cart, you will need 8 mm (0.315 in) probe pivot buttons. These buttons are specifically designed to fit the HydroFORM Cart and ensure optimal performance.

Features

Corrosion Inspection

Conduct precise corrosion scans with this magnetic scanner effortlessly, offering manual encoded probe positioning on ferrous inspection surfaces.

Scan Control

 

The carrier, to which the heavy duty probe holder is attached, features a locking handle that aligns the probe's scanning direction. Lift the handle and move the carrier to the next index position, which can be adjusted based on the probe size to align with the following scanning path.

Positional Encoding

The corrosion link incorporates high-resolution positional encoding that is universally compatible with all standard instruments. This feature allows you to track scans along the y-axis at the predetermined positions of the frame bar.

Magnetic Wheels

The magnetic wheels are coated with urethane to minimize the impact of foreign debris hindering the scanner's motion. Extra magnetic wheels can be attached to the scanner if necessary to enhance the magnetic attraction even further.

Heavy Duty Vertical Probe Holder

The heavy duty vertical probe holder is designed to accommodate large probes and is fully compatible with the Olympus HydroFORM system when utilized alongside the HydroFORM Cart.

Brakes

The scanner's brakes are specifically engineered to firmly secure the device in place when required.

Cable Management

The cable clips are designed to be conveniently removable, allowing users to arrange and manage probe cables and irrigation tubes on the scanner as needed. This feature enables users to customize their setup for optimal organization and efficiency.

Three Year Warranty

All JIREH equipment is meticulously manufactured with durability in mind, ensuring a long-lasting performance. Additionally, each piece of equipment is backed by a comprehensive 3-year limited warranty, providing you with added peace of mind and confidence in the quality and reliability of your investment.

Component Identifcation

Heavy Duty Vertical Probe Holder

The heavy-duty vertical probe holder boasts exceptional adjustability, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of probe and wedge sizes and various scan directions. This flexibility makes it incredibly versatile, accommodating a seemingly infinite number of configurations to meet your specific inspection needs. Moreover, it is designed to be compatible with the HydroFORM cart, providing convenient mobility for carrying the Olympus HYDROFORM equipment.

Carrier

The carrier slides effortlessly along the scanner stroke with locking options and cable management, securely holding the heavy-duty vertical probe holder.

Over-the-top Link

The over-the-top link houses the positional encoder and connects to the user instrument, whereas the opposing link remains unencoded. Working in unison, they form the structural core of the scanner, providing ample clearance for the carrier and probe holder to operate beneath them.

Y-Axis Encoder

The y-axis encoder monitors and tracks the probe's position along the frame bar.

Encoder Cable

The encoder cable is designed to be compatible with most industry-standard instruments, transmitting the X and Y positional information to the user's equipment.

Magnetic Wheels

Magnetic wheels are used to attach the scanner to ferrous surfaces. More wheels can be added to the scanner to enhance the magnetic attraction.

Scanner Frame

Preset scan positions are integrated into the frame bar, allowing the carrier and probe holder to move along the stroke length.

Cable Management

Cable management helps organize and protect cables and tubes. Using cable clips and implementing cable management on the carrier further enhances the scanner's organizational capabilities.
