WAVE-180

Precision where it matters most.

Specially designed for handheld inspections of carbon steel and stainless-steel butt welds, the WAVE-180 delivers fast, accurate manual inspection with large coverage — the go-to choice for proof-of-concept trials and pinpointing specific defect locations with confidence.

The probe is equipped with dynamic lift-off technology, which makes it ideal for inspecting painted welds without having to remove the paint. The probe’s memory stores calibration data, making it easy to use and access when needed.
