4.3. Overhead Adjustable Link
The overhead adjustable link
provides clearance for probes
and wedges.
When low profile scanning is
required, the ratchet lever is
adjustable.
Loosen the rachet handle
(Fig. 33) and extend or retract
the link as required. Tighten the
rachet handle (Fig. 34).
(see Ratchet Lever on page 13)

Fig. 34 - Adjust link and tighten rachet lever

PAGE 10 of 53
4.4. Wheel Block with Handle
The wheel block provides stability and braking to the ROTIX system.
The ratchet lever located on the wheel block with handle operates the brake.
Install the wheel block with handle by loosening the black wing knob and sliding the
wheel block with handle’s dovetail nut onto the frame bar (Fig. 35). Tighten the black
wing knob (Fig. 36).
4.4.1. Wheel Removal/Installation
Tightly grip the wheel to be removed
by hand. Using the supplied
3 mm hex driver (Fig. 27), loosen the
wheel from the axle.
TIP: When the brake is engaged
and the scanner is moved, this
may loosen the wheels from
the axle. Grip the wheel tightly
and retighten the axle with the
3 mm hex driver.
NOTE: The spring-loaded encoder can NOT be mounted to the wheel block with
handle when the diameter of the scan surface is less than 30.4 cm (12 in).

Fig. 37 - Wheel removal/installation

PAGE 11 of 53 CE0120 Rev 05
4.5. Double Chain Mount
The double chain mount provides a connection point for links.
Loosen the double chain mount’s dovetail jaw using the black wing knob (Fig. 38).
Secure the double chain mount to the frame bar by tightening the black wing knob.
(Fig. 39).
The lower hole of the double chain mount is used to connect the chain during 2 probe
scanning. When scanning with 4 probes (requiring 2 overhead adjustable links), always
connect the overhead adjustable links to the top holes of the double chain mount.
4.6. Cable Clips
Clips have been provided to assist with cable management. Simply pinch the clip an
and press it into the dovetail groove of the frame bar.

PAGE 12 of 53
4.7. Spring-Loaded Encoder
The spring-loaded encoder wheel provides vertical travel while maintaining
contact pressure to the scan surface. To install the encoder follow these steps:
1. Loosen the encoder’s dovetail jaw and mount to the frame bar (Fig. 42).
2. Tighten the encoder knob (Fig. 43).
3. Spring tension maintains encoder contact with the scan surface (Fig. 44).
NOTE: The spring-loaded encoder can NOT be mounted to the wheel block with
handle when the diameter of the scan surface is less than 30.4 cm (12 in).
4.8. Frame Bar
Frame bars (Fig. 45) are used to mount
probe holders, probe positioning systems
and other accessories (see Frame Bars on
page 48).
Frame bars are available in a variety of
lengths.
4.9. Pivot Buttons
Available in a variety of shapes and sizes
fitting various wedge dimensions.
Use the supplied 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 28) to
remove and install pivot buttons (Fig. 46).

PAGE 13 of 53 CE0120 Rev 05
4.10. Chain Connection
To connect chain components, see these following steps:
1. Pull the pins out from the wheels, twist a quarter turn latching the pins in a
retracted state (Fig. 47).
2. Align the pins with the mounting holes of the component to be connected
(Fig. 48).
3. Twist the pins until they unlatch and extend into the hole of the connected
component (Fig. 49).
4.11. Ratchet Lever
The rachet levers are used for various locking and braking functions on the ROTIX
system. Occasionally, movement of the lever locking position is required. The lever
placement can be adjusted by following these steps:
1. Pull the ratchet lever away from the base of which it is connected (Fig. 50).
2. Continue to pull while rotating the lever in the appropriate direction (Fig. 51).
3. Release the lever and utilize the new tightening position.

4.12.1. Probe Holder Setup
To mount a UT wedge in the probe holder, follow these steps:
1. Rotate the probe holder adjustment knob and attach probe holder to a
frame bar (Fig. 54).
2. Use the probe holder adjustment knob to position the probe holder along
the frame bar (Fig. 55).

PAGE 15 of 53 CE0120 Rev 05
3. Use swing arm knob to position the swing arm (Fig. 56).
TIP: The swing arm is typically used to adjust TOFD center to center distance
relative to the phased array probes on a four probe conguration (Fig. 119).
4. Using the supplied 3/8 in wrench (Fig. 28), place the pivot buttons as
required (Fig. 57).
TIP: If narrow scanning footprint is required, use pivot button holes closest to
the yoke. Wedge pivoting may be impeded when closer to the yoke.
5. Loosen the probe holder arm adjustment knob (Fig. 58) and remove outer
probe holder arm from yoke.
6. Adjust inner probe holder arm as required to best centre the probe on the
yoke’s pivot axis (Fig. 58).
TIP: The probe holder yoke can accommodate many different probe and wedge
sizes of varying widths. It is best to centre the wedge with the yoke’s pivot
axis to reduce wedge tipping when scanning. Position the inner probe
holder arm accordingly with the centre of the yoke (Fig. 58).
7. Position the wedge on the inner
probe holder arm (Fig. 59).
8. Slide outer probe holder arm
along the yoke pinching the
wedge in place.
9. Tighten probe holder arm
adjustment knob (Fig. 60).
