Manipulators<br />

The manipulator is primarily intended to provide a means of scanning the test<br />

specimen with an immersed transducer.<br />

• The manipulator is mounted on a traversing mechanism, which allows<br />

movement of the manipulator from side to side.<br />

• The traversing mechanism is an integral component of the bridge<br />

assembly.<br />

A search tube is usually held rigid at right angles to the surface of the test<br />

specimen. Locking knobs are provided on the manipulator to allow positioning<br />

of the search tube in two planes <strong>for</strong> angle-beam testing.
