1. Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the components on the GLIDER scanner.
The scanner’s X-axis is secured to the inspection surface by either suction cups or
magnetic pods (sold separately). The probe (or transducer) holder moves along the Y-
axis. Between inspection passes along one of the axes, the probe or transducer can be
either incremented in fixed steps or moved freely along the other axis to perform a
raster scan.
The GLIDER scanner is made up of three main component groups:
•
Mounting pods (either suction-cup pods or magnetic pods)
•
X-axis encoder module
•
Y-axis encoder module
The elements of these main groups are illustrated in Figure 1-1 on page 14; a detailed
description follows.
