NDT Automation: Scanners & Guide Bands

Motorized scanners and guide bands carry inspection sensors precisely and repeatably around a weld or along an asset — capturing encoded, position-referenced data a hand-held tool cannot match. RAE Energy supplies the automated scanning used with the systems it distributes, so NDT companies get faster inspection, fewer people in hazardous positions and cleaner, encoded data.

What automation changes for a crew

• Consistency. A scanner indexes the same way every time, reducing operator-to-operator variation.
• Safety. Automated capture can reduce the time technicians spend at the weld and, for radiography, in controlled areas.
• Speed. Automated capture keeps inspection on pace with construction.
• Better data for AI. Encoded, repeatable records are what AI-assisted review needs to work from.
