AGS 2 Automated General Purpose Scanner

The AGS-2 is a steerable, magnetic wheel scanner designed for remote controlled inspection of ferritic pipes and large structures. It features high speed X and Y operation, geometric flexibility through modular components, and optional curved Y-modules for pipe inspection. Applications include key point corrosion mapping, nuclear component inspection, and production control for difficult to access areas.

AGS-2 - Automatic General Purpose Scanner

– Versitile, robust and stable inspection

The AGS-2 is a steerable, general purpose magnetic wheel XY scanner. It is primarily designed
for remote controlled weld inspection and corrosion mapping of ferritic pipes, large structures
and areas with difficult access.

Features Applications
• Use of standard modular scanner components The AGS-2 is very versatile, robust and stable and ideal
• High X and Y speed operation where high speed, long Y-stroke and several probes are re-
