    DMTA069-01EN, Rev. D, March 2017 Appendix B: Wedge-Probe Assembly Maintenance The following procedures are not specific to the ChainSCANNER. They are nevertheless useful information to complete this manual. Adjustment of the Carbide Wear-Pins on Wedges Wedges are designed to hold a transducer or a phased array probe in order to ensure an adequate ultrasonic diffusion through the surface being inspected, and to direct the couplant flow correctly.

    DMTA069-01EN, Rev. D, March 2017 Top view Bottom view Carbide wear pins Use a hexagonal key to adjust the height of the carbide wear pins. The carbide wear pins must be flush with the surface of the wedge. Figure 7-2 Adjusting the wedge’s carbide wear pins To adjust the carbide wear-pins on a wedge Turn off the couplant flow.
  • Page 87 DMTA069-01EN, Rev. D, March 2017 To replace a conventional ultrasonic transducer Turn off the couplant flow. Disconnect the couplant tubes from the couplant source, or from the wedge. Remove the scanner from the inspection surface. Disconnect the transducer cable. Lift the swing arm until the latch engages into its higher position (see “To latch the swing arm”...

    DMTA069-01EN, Rev. D, March 2017 Replacing a Phased Array Probe To replace a phased array ultrasonic probe, the probe assembly must be removed and partially disassembled. To replace a phased array probe Turn off the couplant flow. Disconnect the couplant tubes from the couplant source. Disconnect the probe cable from the instrument.

  • Page 90 DMTA069-01EN, Rev. D, March 2017 CAUTION Do not overtighten the screws: overtightening might crack the wedge. 10. Reinstall the wedge-probe assembly on the yoke. 11. Lift the swing arm slightly. 12. Pull out the latch knob. 13. Release the swing arm slowly to its lower position (see “To unlatch the swing arm”...
