Overview 13
1. Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the main HSMT-Compact scanner components.
The contents of a standard case are shown in Figure 1-1 on page 13.
Figure 1‑1 Case contents
The main HSMT-Compact scanner components are the frame (with four wheels and
two handles), the probe holders, the water-couplant distribution system, and the
encoder (see Figure 1-2 on page 14).

Figure 1‑2 The HSMT‑Compact scanner
Frame
The frame provides a base for up to four conventional ultrasonic probes or
phased array ultrasonic probes. It is supported at both ends by subassemblies that
hold the wheels and handles used to move the unit across the surface being
inspected. If necessary, the handles can be removed to reduce the height of the
scanner.
Magnetic wheels
The magnetic wheels help hold the unit against a ferromagnetic inspection
surface. The wheels are covered with a plastic layer for smooth motion during
inspection (see Figure 1-2 on page 14).
