Highlighted Features
Flexibility
Due to the two axis bi-direction ability, the wheel orientation and direction of scanning maybe changed.
Ease-of-Service
the machine is built from readily available automaton components from companies such as Schneider (worldwide distributon network).
Safety
A separate control stand with dual push button activation start means the operator is not near the rotating wheel during the test.
