AeroCheck 3
AeroCheck 3 Dual Frequency Flaw Detector delivers the best in Eddy Current performance, with rotary inspection C-Scan capabilities as standard, together with variety of advanced features.
The dual frequency AeroCheck 3 has a frequency range of 10Hz to 20MHz, ensuring a diverse range of real world applications can be met.
The AeroCheck 3 weighs just 1.15kg (2.54lbs) and has a blended polymer case, withstanding of high levels of impact, oil and UV resistance.
The AeroCheck 3 Series now offers the option of two models, one with the standard keypad for instrument navigation and the other with a thumbwheel configuration for fast single-handed software navigation, phase and gain adjustment during inspection.
The AeroCheck Series can be used with all reflection, bridge and absolute probes from all manufacturers and uses industry standard 12-Way Lemo and Co-axial Lemo 00 connectors, reducing the need to use adapters.
