Overview

Advantages

Available in standard refracted angles of 0°, 45°, 55°, and 60° in steel for angle-beam inspections from 30° to 70°, SW or LW
Stainless steel screw receptacles provide a firm anchoring of probes to wedges.
Lateral electronic scanning replaces the hand-skewing movement (with lateral wedges).
The IHC wedge option can be ordered to improve the quality of the inspection: irrigation, mounting holes for the wedge holder to work with any Olympus scanner, and carbide pins to increase wear resistance.
Wedges are designed to perform manual or automated scans.
Custom wedges with specific refracted angles can be ordered; wedge shape and contour can also be customized.
