The WheelProbe 2 is proving to be unrivalled in the field of composite inspection and corrosion monitoring in terms of speed and ease of use, in addition to achieving excellent results.

Typical applications included: Corrosion Mapping, Marine Inspection, Aerospace Fuselage, Aerospace Large Area scanning and Automotive Testing.

Composite Inspection

WP2 presents the most efficient solution for scanning large areas of composite. As the best alternative to immersion inspection of the WP2 offers impressive 1mm near surface resolution in the latest composite materials using 5MHz array. Available also with 10MHz, 3.5MHz and a 2.5MHz version, the WP2 tyre tightly matches the acoustic impedance of water and like its predecessor, produces UT signals of exceptional quality.

Corrosion Monitoring

Making complete and reliable surveys to generate corrosion maps is more than a trend, it is required. With the efficiency, performance and precision provided by the WP2, it is now possible to inspect large areas and quickly analyse data to determine if any critical or urgent action is required. Moreover, this technique allows the user to compare large amounts of data over time to perform preventative maintenance, reducing potential downtown. With WP2 the level of confidence is significally increased since decisions can be based on data sets that are 1000 times more detailed, yet still gathered in the same time required to do ‘spot check’ using traditional methods. Whether for axial or longitudinal inspection using unique grooved rollers, or attached to a scanner, WP2’s flexibility makes the tool of choice for a fast and accurate corrosion monitoring application.

Rugged

WP2 has been re-designed from the ground up in lightweight aluminium-reinforced polymer. Lighter to reduce operator fatigue, and tougher, to give longer service life. Which means you can trust it to perform, day after day, even on the most awkward inspection tasks.
