The Krautkrämer PAXYS is a new portable phased array scanner specifically designed for corrosion mapping in challenging field environments. Utilizing our patented compact technology, it delivers high-performance PAUT inspection in a lightweight device weighing less than 2 kilograms.
Miniaturized comPAct technology: Waygate's patented chip reduces PA electronics volume and weight by 100 times and power consumption by 20 times compared to traditional instruments — delivering outstanding inspection performance in a lightweight, field-ready package that can be powered via a standard USB connection.
Ultra-portable, single-inspector operation: At under 2 kg, the entire system, including the scanner, pressure bottle, and a standard Windows tablet, fits into a single backpack. Tasks that previously required at least two people can now be completed efficiently and safely by one inspector, directly reducing operational costs and improving workforce deployment.
Consistent, repeatable C-scan data: X/Y dual-axis encoding tracks movement along both axes to ensure accurate defect location and repeatable thickness datasets, minimizing operator influence and delivering clear corrosion maps for better communication with integrity engineers and asset stakeholders.
Engineered for the most challenging environments: The four-wheel magnetic design ensures stable positioning on vertical or inverted structures, while replaceable wear shoes with integrated couplant channels adapt to both flat and curved surfaces. Designed to IP65 standards and operating reliably from -20 °C to +50 °C, Krautkrämer PAXYS is ready for most challenging environment.
No proprietary hardware required: Seamlessly compatible with any Windows 11 tablet, laptop, or desktop, with Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity for efficient data collection, storage, and analysis. No additional hardware investment needed.
A scalable platform: Interchangeable probe modules allow you to address different inspection challenges by simply swapping a module rather than investing in separate instruments. With aerospace probe modules already in development, Krautkrämer PAXYS is designed to expand alongside your needs.
