HANDSCAN Compact Manual Magnetic Scanner (Portable NDT Scanner)
HANDSCAN is an ultra-compact, 1-axis magnetic manual scanner designed for rapid, reliable, and high-precision non-destructive testing (NDT) on carbon steel pipes, pressure vessels, and flat plates. It excels in restricted access areas and complex geometries where larger scanners cannot reach. Featuring an ergonomic, palm-sized body and strong magnetic wheels, it adheres securely to ferromagnetic surfaces for slip-free, stable tracking. HANDSCAN digitalizes manual inspections, ensuring excellent spatial data traceability and precise signal collection at every step.
