The LS-500 series industrial scanners are C-scan inspection machines in modular design 
allowing for choice of system scanner length according to requirements with no 
need for custom design. Unique robot design allows for precision scanning motion.

Each system includes an integrated usc-100a ultrasonic instrument with 
search tube mounted RPP3 square wave pulsar-preamplifier, precision 
servo motion control for each axis and ScanMaster software for part set-up, 
scan, inspection analysis and data archiving. 
The systems modular design allows for selection of sizes. The length of the 
X axis can be specified. Sample scanning platforms are: 
 LS-500-1000 – Motion envelope of (X, Y, Z) 1000mm x 600mm x 600mm 
(40”x24”x24”) 
 LS-500LP-1000 – Motion envelope of (X, Y, Z) 900mm x 600mm x 600mm 
(36”x24”x24”) 
 LS-500-1500 – Motion envelope of (X, Y, Z) 1500mm x 600mm x 600mm 
(60”x24”x24”) 
 LS-500-2000 – Motion envelope of (X, Y, Z) 2000mm x 600mm x 600mm 
(80”x24”x24”)
