AUT Solutions AccuTrak, Automated Steerable 3-Axis Scanner

AUT Solutions was the first in the industry to design and manufacture modular style scanners to make repairs and modifications in the field easy and low cost to the customer. The AccuTrak is our latest scanner from this design concept that adds more flexibility than standard fixed wheels scanners. The AccuTrak is the first-ever "truly modular" scanner that offers both 3 or 2 axis versions and can scan just about any contoured ferrous surface. This scanner is steerable using a small handheld joystick or even your computer mouse.

The AccuTrak truck assemblies rotate in multi-axis to allow near-perfect wheel contact to a flat or curved surface using its two powerful X-axis drive motors and magnetic wheels to help propel the scanner and umbilical vertically with little load, even when crossing over weld seam. The truck assembly can be locked into place for conventional 2-axis style scanning or unlocked to allow the scanner to become steerable on curved surfaces that are well suited for remote access corrosion mapping or weld inspection utilizing pulse echo, phased array, or TOFD technologies. AccuTrak is standard as a 3 axis scanner, but the 3-axis arm can be removed to perform simple line or weld scans. The AccuTrak can be provided with many options, such as multi-probe weld inspection, a battery-powered green laser line for weld tracking that can be visible in almost any light condition, and a camera for weld tracking purposes. The AccuTrak is also capable of performing automated weld tracking utilizing a patent-pending technology by AUT Solutions to track the scanner to the centerline of a weld automatically; thus, the use of heavy and awkward tracks is a thing of the past.
