Not every part needs a tank or an overhead bridge. Flat plate, composite laminate, and sheet stock scan efficiently on a dedicated flat-frame system — smaller footprint, faster setup, and a scan path built specifically for planar geometry.
SDI's flat scanner line splits into horizontal and vertical orientations — four configurations covering everything from general plate stock to composite laminate panels.
Horizontal Flat Scanner System
A horizontal flat-frame scanner for structural plate and panel stock, sized for shop-floor throughput without a full gantry installation.
| Configuration | Horizontal flat frame |
| Typical use | Structural plate, panel stock |
Horizontal Through-Transmission Inspection System
An enclosed through-transmission horizontal frame, favored for consistent production environments where open squirter delivery isn't practical.
| Configuration | Horizontal, enclosed frame |
| Delivery | Through-transmission |
| Typical use | Enclosed production environments |
Horizontal Through-Transmission Inspection System
A wider-format horizontal frame with a multi-channel squirter array, built for large-panel production runs where inspecting the full width in fewer passes matters.
| Configuration | Horizontal, multi-channel squirter array |
| Typical use | Large-panel, high-throughput production |
Vertical Flat Through-Transmission Inspection System
A vertical-orientation flat scanner using through-transmission delivery — suited to composite laminate panels where consistent through-thickness signal matters most.
| Configuration | Vertical flat frame |
| Delivery | Through-transmission |
| Typical use | Composite laminate panels |
