Cygnus S1 Probe Handler is designed for performing thickness surveys on ships’ hulls with an observation or light work class ROV.  On contact with the hull plate two sets of magnets first grip the steel, then as the ROV pushes forward the probe is allowed to tilt to align it to the hull surface placing the probe in the optimal position for measurement with the ROV pilot just having to maintain gentle forward thrust while the measurement is taken.

Cygnus W1 Probe Handler is designed for use on Work Class ROVs and can be held by a manipulator arm. Ultrasonic probe alignment is provided by a double jointed coupling that provides 15 degrees of movement in both planes guided by four pins. A shock absorbing spring reduces any impact loading on the unit.

Cygnus G1 Probe Handler is designed for use on observation, inspection and light-work class ROVs. The UT probe is located in an articulated mount that allows up to 15 degrees of movement in both planes allowing automatic alignment of the probe face to the measurement surface making the ROV pilot's job easier.
