(4 in) of the corrosion link (see Corrosion link adjustment on page 7) 1.1.3. Operating environment The STIX magnetic scanner is designed for use in an industrial environment that is between -20° C and 50° C (-4° F) (122° F) 1.1.4.
(Fig. 2) for all typical operations and - 3/8 in wrench Fig. 3 adjustments of the STIX. The 3/8 in wrench is used to remove and install buttons on the probe holders. (Fig. 3) 1.3.2. Maintenance General cleaning of components is important to keep your system working well.
Chapter 3 OPERATION 3.1. Setup of a STIX on a Scanning Surface - Frame bar offers protection for PPS encoder Fig. 5 Ensure the frame bar extends past the corrosion link on the encoder (Fig. 6-2) side. This will provide protection to the index encoder connector. The non encoded link can be flush with the frame bar (Fig.
Page 10
- Place scanner on scan surface Fig. 8 Place the STIX on the scanning surface (Fig. 8) TIP: Use caution when placing equipment on the scan surface. The magnetized wheels can cause the assembly to lurch towards the metal suddenly.
Chapter 4 SYSTEM COMPONENTS 4.1. Corrosion Link The corrosion link provides braking for (Fig. 9) the system as well as an internal encoder connected to the wheels. A connection plug exists for index encoding. A mounting point for the frame bar is also provided. The corrosion link length can be adjusted to increase scanner diameter range as...
4.2.1. Corrosion link adjustment To achieve the minimum diameter pipe/tube scan range of 10.2 cm (4 in), the corrosion link and non encoded corrosion link must be adjusted as follows. NOTE: The large yoke of the heavy duty probe holder must be replaced with the standard yoke to allow the carrier to fit under the corrosion links (see Yoke Substitution on page 15).
4.2.2. Mounting a Frame Bar - Loosen wing knobs - Tighten wing knobs Fig. 14 Fig. 15 Ensure the two black wing knobs are loose . Slide the frame bar along the (Fig. 14) dovetail nuts of the corrosion link .
4.2.5. Brake The red lever located on the both the corrosion link and non encoded corro- sion link provide braking to the system. Press the lever down to activate the brake. TIP: When the brake is engaged and the scanner is moved, this may loosen the wheels from the axle.
4.3. Carrier With the use of a leadscrew, the carrier can move along the length of the frame bar. - Loosen the leadscrew clamp knob Fig. 20 Loosen the leadscrew clamp knob to allow movement of the carrier (Fig. 20) along the frame bar.
4.3.2. Index Nuts - Index nuts Fig. 24 The index nuts located along (Fig. 24) the frame bar offer index positions during scans. The arrow found on the handle of the carrier references the arrow on the corresponding index nut. Align the arrows using the ruler to set the desired spacing.
Loosen the probe holder adjustment knob and remove the outer probe holder arm (Fig. 29) Loosen the arm clamp screw (Fig. 30). Place the wedge on the pivot button of the inner probe holder (Fig. 30). - Remove outer arm - Pivot buttons Fig.
4.4.3. Probe Holder Left/Right Conversion - Remove yoke - Orient to opposite side Fig. 35 Fig. 36 Using the supplied 3 mm driver, unscrew the yoke (Fig. 35). Position the yoke and arms to the opposite side of the probe holder (Fig.
Position the pivot buttons to the inside of the probe holder arms (Fig. 39) Place the probe holder arms on the yoke and tighten the arm clamp screw and probe holder adjustment knob (Fig. 40) Use the supplied 3 mm driver to screw the yoke to the probe holder.
4.4.5. Probe Holder 90° Adjustment Remove the yoke using the supplied 3 mm driver (Fig. 35). Orient the yoke to the front of the probe holder and screw the yoke into the threaded hole provided (Fig. 46) - 90° probe holder positioning Fig.
4.7. Index Encoder The index encoder is used to provide positional feedback perpendicular to the scan direction of travel. - Loosen and slide post in place - Align and mount post Fig. 49 Fig. 50 To install the index encoder, loosen the clamp screw on the encoder with the supplied 3 mm hex driver (Fig.
4.8. 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. - Pinch clip - Route cables Fig. 53 Fig. 54 4.9. Cable Management - Cable management Fig.
4.9.1. Cable Management Dovetail Mount To attach the cable management, follow these steps: - Loosen and slide on - Tighten knob Fig. 56 Fig. 57 Loosen the knob on the cable management dovetail mount. Slide the mount onto the dovetail link (Fig.
Follow the cable placement zipping the tube closed and closing the cable management cable latch (Fig. 59) - Zip opposite end - Flexibility Fig. 60 Fig. 61 Once the cable is placed the entire length of tube, bring the zipper from the tubes opposite end, meeting at any point in the middle (Fig.
