The VIPER is an advanced, lightweight and modular crawler developed by TesTex to carry Ultrasonic and LFET Techniques for inspections of vertical and horizontal metallic surfaces. By using permanent magnets, the Viper can traverse up and down vertical surfaces with ease. A joystick allows steering for turn-on-a-dime maneuverability. The system supplies water to the optional Ultrasonic Transducer as a couplant for continuous thickness measurements.
