Ether NDE, a UK-based manufacturer of eddy current products, offers the VEESCAN ET wheel inspection system. It is available in two different models, VEESCAN H for maximum flexibility and VEESCAN R for optimized productivity. It is ideal in all aircraft wheel-testing environments and can be configured with a wide choice of probes and allows any wheel testing facility the flexibility to select the system most compatible with its workload. Teamed with a full choice of operation modes, the VEESCAN maximizes the probability of detection. Available in two configurations, VEESCAN H is designed to lift the wheel and fix it with an automatic adaptor that uses the wheel inertia to center it. VEESCAN H offers an integrated roller tray for easy maneuverability and integration into a conveyor system and can test wheels up to 900 mm diameter. The H is designed with an adjustable-height control panel for operator comfort and can be positioned at a convenient distance from the main machine. Open on three sides, the VEESCAN H offers easy wheel loading as standard. Alternatively VEESCAN R clamps the wheel to a turntable with a pneumatic cylinder. With pneumatic control and electronics fitted into the frame it allows access to the rotating table from both sides. On the rotating table, three rollers assist the wheel movement from three open sides. Able to test wheels of two size ranges, under 600 mm and 900 mm simultaneously; the Model R is as flexible as it is robust and reliable. For more information visit www.ethernde.com.
