Built to Grip, Engineered to Last: How Spider Grip 2.0 Wheels Elevate Industrial Inspection

In industrial inspection, equipment durability and precision matter. Whether scanning tanks, pipes, or structural components, field conditions can be unpredictable—surfaces are slick, abrasive, or exposed to extreme wear. That’s why ScanTech’s new Spider Grip 2.0 Wheels incorporate cutting-edge tungsten carbide (WC) coating, delivering 40% stronger grip and exceptional wear resistance for enhanced scanning performance.

What Makes Tungsten Carbide Coating a Game Changer?

Tungsten carbide has long been used in industries requiring extreme durability, such as aerospace, oil and gas, and power generation. This coating is applied using a high-velocity process, where tungsten carbide powder is combined with a binder and propelled onto the surface at high speeds. The result? A dense, highly bonded layer that increases hardness, corrosion resistance, and longevity.

How Does This Benefit NDT Inspections?

? Superior Wear Resistance – Reduces degradation over time, maintaining performance even in high-friction environments.

? Enhanced Surface Grip – The high-strength coating ensures firm traction, improving scanner stability on rough or vertical surfaces.

? Extended Wheel Life – Less frequent replacements mean reduced downtime and maintenance costs.

? Resistance to Harsh Environments – With a melting point exceeding 5000°F, tungsten carbide withstands extreme temperatures and corrosive conditions.

Raising the Standard for NDT Equipment

The integration of tungsten carbide technology into Spider Grip 2.0 Wheels ensures that ScanTech’s robotic NDT solutions remain at the forefront of innovation. Our goal is simple—to provide technicians with the most reliable, high-performance scanning systems possible.

By combining precision engineering with advanced materials, we’re delivering unmatched durability, control, and efficiency for the real-world challenges of industrial inspection.
