EtherCheck
Combined eddy current & bond testing Flaw Detector for non-destructive testing (NDT)
Designed for NDE on Aerospace specific applications, the EtherCheck offers the very best in Eddy Current and Bond Testing performance in a compact, rugged and lightweight package.
The EtherCheck Flaw Detector is designed and manufactured in the UK and uses industry standard 12-Way Lemo and Co-axial Lemo 00 connectors, offering rotary drive, dual frequncy and conductivity capabilities as standard and also absolute, bridge and reflection probe modes without the need for adapters.
