PAUT.Tech String Encoder | PAUT & TOFD String Pot Encoder for Olympus, Eddyfi, Waygate & Sonatest

The PAUT.Tech String Encoder is a precision string potentiometer encoder designed for Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) and Time of Flight Diffraction (TOFD) applications. Ideal for manual encoded inspections where wheel encoders are impractical, it delivers accurate positional feedback for weld inspections, corrosion mapping, and asset integrity assessments.

Compatible with a wide range of leading ultrasonic inspection instruments, the encoder is supplied with a 16-pin LEMO connector for Olympus OmniScan and Eddyfi systems, with versions also available for Waygate Technologies and Sonatest equipment.
