system. The Slider PPS Encoder
engages with the encoded
lead screw to provide lateral
positional feedback of the
probe(s) (Fig. 7).
4.1.5. Slider Probe Positioning System
CJA002-
The Slider Probe Positioning
System uses a slide and
leadscrew system to position 1
or 2 probes for weld inspection.
Set the probe center spacing
and center the two probes over
the weld without removing the
scanner (Fig. 8).
