The RollerFORM is equipped with the following wheels:
• The liquid-filled acoustic wheel
The liquid-filled acoustic wheel contains the phased array probe, which is housed
in its axle. When the acoustic wheel’s liquid chamber is filled with water, it must
be cleaned periodically. When the chamber is filled with noncorrosive glycol, it
does not require periodic cleaning. The probe-axle can also be changed. For more
information, see the following sections:
— “Cleaning the Liquid Chamber” on page 85
— “Changing the Probe-Axle” on page 77
• The adjustable middle wheel
The middle wheel’s height can be adjusted, depending on the surface to inspect.
For more information, see “Adjusting the Middle Wheel” on page 52.
• The rear roller
The rear roller is the primary location of the Mini-Wheel encoder.
The Mini-Wheel encoder can be changed. For more information, see “Changing
the Mini-Wheel Encoder” on page 110.
