Advanced High Performance Dual Probe/Dual Frequency Eddy Current Flaw Detectors with C-Scan Capability in a portable format ideal for manufacturing in-process inspection.

They say “A picture is worth a 1000 words”, to date “pictures”, or C-Scans, in Eddy Current have been limited to expensive large laboratory instruments. Now for the first time C-Scan data is available in a hand-held eddy current flaw detector packages, the PhaseCheck and AmCheck. These instruments carries all the features and performance of the AeroCheck+ Eddy Current Flaw Detector combined with the ability to scan areas and document inspection results using a C-Scan display and X/Y and R/Theta manual scanners with an easy scan calibration. Flexible encoder configuration will allow various scanner mechanisms to be interfaced. C-Scans can be exported as a Bitmap, Excel spreadsheet or raw data file for subsequent analysis.

The AMCheck was designed as a Turnkey solution for AM manufacturers needing to add or retro-fit Eddy Current inspection to an Additive Manufacturing CNC or Robotic System and can be conveniently panel mounted for inspection of Additive Manufactured (AM) parts during inspection. Using the ETher NDE instrument, DLL data may be streamed over USB to the AM host computer for display, analysis and reporting.

Eddy Current’s unique non-contact and intrinsically hassle free attributes (no couplant, no effluent and no radiation) means it is the best solution for in- process NDT. Allowing the part to be inspected during manufacture, one or more layers at a time.
