Baugh and Weedon BondCheck
The new BondCheck is a multi-mode bond testing flaw detector providing high speed
bond inspection in pitch-catch or resonance modes, or mechanical impedance
analysis (MIA), with excellent defect sensitivity. Inspection applications include those
where carbon and metal honeycombs need to be inspected for delaminations,
disbonds and core damage as well as small defect detection and dry coupling. The
BondCheck is ideal for a wide spectrum of advanced material NDT of required in the
aerospace, automotive, wind energy and advanced manufacturing sectors.
- Multi-mode Bond Testing instrument
- Unique calibration function for fast and easy set-up
- Lightweight and portable
- Dry coupled pitch-catch and MIA probes
- Automatic Test Frequency Optimisation
- Ideal for inspection on metallic bonded structures, composite and metallic honeycomb
- Two year warranty.
Easy to use menus and icon system
The BondCheck menu system is simple and fast to navigate. It has the ability to add individually selectable soft key menu items to the sidebar for rapid function access and a “quick-setting menu” for easy set-up, review and adjustment.
With four operator selectable soft keys and a fifth slot for the last menu function used, technicians can quickly modify the system with their preferences. Each saved instrument setting can be associated with a unique, single press set of quick access soft keys. There are also two front panel hard keys that can be readily programmed for rapid single press access to frequently used functions.
Large, daylight readable, configurable colour screen
The BondCheck has a large 14.5cm (5.7 Inches) LCD Colour Screen of 640 x 480 pixels providing the operator with excellent signal resolution and presentation together with the choice of configuring their own colour schemes and display types. It is easy to optimise the screen presentation regardless of the lighting conditions. A secondary pane can be configured to create a split screen display or an inset window, with a choice of X-Y spot, frequency sweep, RF waveform and Spectrum displays.
BondCheck Resonance Probes
Now available in a number of
frequencies (75, 90, 165, 200,
250 and 330kHz) which can
be supplied as a 6 probe kit
or individually. Ergonomically
designed, they can be connected
to the instrument using the same
cable as the Pitch-Catch probes.
The stainless steel probe with
tough polymer hand grip and
Alumina wear face provide
robust performance. Like the
pitch-catch probe the Alarm LED and digital ID allow ease
of use and for serial number and settings to be stored.
The BondCheck allows an air calibration to be carried
out to determine most sensitive inspection frequency.
BondCheck Pitch-Catch Probes
The BondCheck Pitch-Catch probe offers the best
in performance and durability. Ergonomically designed
and manufactured from CNC machined Aluminium with
rubber hand grips, the BondCheck Pitch-Catch probe is
both comfortable to use and robust.
The probe feet can be positioned by the user to suit
the inspection task, and the hard wearing probe tips
are interchangeable with rounded and flat tip profiles
available. The probe is broad band and is suitable for a
wide range of applications.
The Stainless Steel transmit and receive sensors are
positioned close to the edge of the housing, and a smaller
probe form factor is also available to allow inspection in
tight areas. An alarm LED on the probe can be triggered
from the BondCheck alarm settings. The probe
incorporates a digital ID which stores its serial number
together with programmable default settings.
