System Components

This section describes the components that make up the LPX-1000 System. Reading this section will help you to

become familiar with the parts of the system.

Scanner

The LPX-1000 scanner system features a dual axis scanning configuration. The scanner can be controlled in both

forward and reverse with the Y Axis arm (5.6 inches wide standard) running perpendicular to the scanner motion.

This provides the ability to perform raster scans on equipment.

X Axis

The X Axis is the vehicle that drives the scanner around the surface. Magnetic or rubber wheels can be

used depending upon your application. The magnets provide considerable holding force. Even though the

magnets provide a strong bond to a metal surface, precautions must be taken to reduce the possibility of loss

of adhesion and subsequent un-attachment of the scanner. Refer to Section 3 Scanner Field Use and

Operation for more information. When using rubber wheels the chain mechanism is used to attach the X-

Axis to the surface of the piping. Later in this section the chain mechanism will be discussed in more

detail.

Y Axis

The Y Axis Arm allows travel of up to 5.6 inches. The articulation of the arm makes the scanner highly

flexible and allows it to conform to a wide variety of surface geometries. There are three pivot adjustments

that are easily rotated to make changing the configuration quick and simple.

Control Cable Connectors

The control cable from the motor control unit connects to the X and Y Axis’ on the side of the scanner body

and on the motor housing of the Y Axis. Refer to Section 5 Maintenance and Storage for maintenance

instructions. ALWAYS keep this receptacle dry and free of debris.

The MCU-P500 motor control unit is battery operated. A 110VAC power supply / charger is provided which can be

used to power the unit. Refer to the MCU-500P Manual for more details.

Clamping Chain

The Clamping Chain can be used to hold the scanner

in place for piping or similar applications that require

it. The chain assembly is made up of a series of links

and a latch hook. Adjust the number of links

according to the diameter of the pipe being scanned.

Combinations of links will accommodate virtually any

diameter of pipe.

Use the table in Appendix C to determine the

combination of links required for the diameter piping

you are working with.

Scanner Field Use and Operation

This section describes some essential considerations and guidelines for using the LPX-1000 Scanner System in the

field. It is recommended that you read this section thoroughly prior to using the scanner in the field.

Safety Considerations

A safety line should be used when the scanner is used at any elevated position. This will minimize any damage to

the scanner and more importantly reduce the possibility of injury to anyone on the ground.

Never allow work or activity underneath the scanner while in use.

Handling the Scanner

Care must be exercised when handling the LPX-1000. The Y Axis or

Y Axis motor housing (shown right) should never be used when

manipulating the position of the scanner or removing the scanner from

the surface.

Y Axis Adjustment

The Y Axis can be adjusted to conform to a wide variety of scanning

arrangements. The figure to the right shows the screws used to adjust

each pivot point of the arm. Figure 6 shows some of the adjustments that

can be made to the Y Axis.

Tightening the Adjustment Screws

When adjusting the Y Axis positions, the screws require only minimal torque. Tighten the screws only to the point

where there is no movement in the arm. Never over-tighten them.

Attaching the Scanner

DO NOT use this Y Axis or Y

Axis Motor Housing as a handle

for removing the scanner.

When using the chains to attach the scanner you must first

determine the number of links required based upon diameter

of the pipe. Using the table in Appendix C, determine the

number of long and/or short links required as a starting point.

The number of links specified in the table do not include the

short links that are attached to each side of the LPX-1000

(shown right).

Once the number of long and/or short links has been

determined, connect them all by hooking the ends of the

links together (shown right).

Once all links have been attached together, hook the last

link with the latching link hook as shown to the right.

With the Latching Lever in the position shown, adjust the

travel (blue arrow) of the hook until it catches the hook on

the last link.

Section 2

850-004134 Page 6 Revision A.0

Latch the link by rotating the Latching Lever back as shown

right. The scanner requires a minimal amount of force to

sufficiently hold the scanner in place.

CAUTION: It should only take a few pounds of force exerted

on the Latching Lever. Be careful not to use too much force

when clamping the scanner chain. Excessive force can damage

the components of the system.

Adjusting the Y-Axis

The Y-Axis can be adjusted to support

various configurations. The height of the

Y-Axis can be changed by rotating the arm

as shown right. Using a 3/16" allen

wrench, loosen the two fasteners on the

mounting arm (shown right) to adjust the

arm.

The fasteners used are listed below in case

replacements are needed. They are listed

by number according to the callout in the

figure to the right.

1) 1/4-28 x 1 ½" Socket Hd Screws

2) 6-32 x ½” Socket Hd Screws

3) 6-32 x 3/8" Socket Hd Screws

Maintenance and Storage

This section covers some basic maintenance and storage tips.

NOTE: No internal components should need to be accessed; therefore disassembly of the scanner

should not be required and is not recommended.

Y Axis Maintenance

Changing the Y Axis Drive Belt

Occasionally the Y Axis drive belt needs replacement. Follow the steps show below to ensure proper installation.

Step 1

The first step in is to remove the existing belt. To do this, remove the two screws on the back side of the arm that

hold the sprocket mounting plate (Figure 12).

Step 2

The sprocket must be pulled back to allow the slide block to

move past the sprocket (Figure 14). Without moving the

sprocket, the belt mounting clip cannot move past it.
