ETherCheck ET/Bond Testing Flaw Detector

Sale ✓
Rental ✘

The ETherCheck is a combined Eddy Current and Bond Testing Flaw Detector which comes with a rich range of features offered by a best in class eddy current flaw detector combined with the most widely used acoustic bond testing method – Pitch-Catch. All functions are in a single lightweight instrument with a common user interface between the two modes, resulting in simple operator led set-up.

  • General Eddy current, plus Rotary, plus Conductivity, plus Pitch-Catch.
  • “Two instruments in one”
  • The leading features of the best in class Aerocheck+ Eddy Current Flaw Detector combined with excellent Pitch-Catch functionality.
  • Pitch-Catch dry coupled bond testing mode allows rapid detection of defects in laminate, bonded and sandwich structures.
  • Automatic test frequency optimisation.
  • Waveform, time-base and phase / frequency plots.
  • Two-year warranty

Pitch-Catch Function

The EtherCheck Pitch-Catch Probe offers the best in design and durability. Ergonomically designed and manufactured from CNCmachined Aluminium with rubber hand grips, the EtherCheck Pitch-Catch probe is both comfortable to use and suitably robust.

Simplicity, Clarity & Accuracy in Bond Testing Mode

The screens for the Bond Testing mode of the ETherCheck have a familiarity with the screens of the AeroCheck+. By doing this, operators are able to make moving between the eddy current and bond testing modes seamless, simple and intuitive.

Works the way you do!

The WeldCheck series has been created with user convenience and efficiency in mind at all stages of the design and manufacturing process. One Key Benefit of the WeldCheck series is the “flip” function providing the ability to work identically in left-handed and right-handed mode.

Record and Replay

Up to 164 seconds of live data may be recorded in real-time and then played back either on the instrument or on a PC, using the desktop application ETherAnalyser for subsequent analysis and review. The recorded data may be further optimised by adjusting many settings including Phase, Gain, Filters, Display and Spot position. 

Essential Connectivity

The WeldCheck series contain, within a protected compartment, a VGA output connector, MicroSD slot for up to 2GB storage of traces and setup files, and USB for fast transfer

Daylight Visible Large Colour Screen

The WeldCheck has a fully daylight readable 14.5cm LCD Colour Screen of 640 x 480 pixels ensuring the Operator has excellent signal resolution and presentation no matter what the working conditions are. The operator has the choice of configuring their own colour schemes and display types. This will optimise their viewing ability of the screen in any light conditions. It is possible to view the readings in a choice of spot, time-base, waterfall or meter display types.

Conductivity Measurement

When connecting the Conductivity Probe, the WeldCheck+ auto-detects the probe and seamlessly switches into conductivity mode. Removal of the probe switches the instrument back to flaw detection mode. NB: The Conductivity Measurement Option is available through the purchase of the KACON001 KIT.

Rotary Capabilities As Standard

The EtherCheck & AeroCheck series includes rotary capabilities as standard and can be used with the ETher Mercury (mini) ARD002, Hocking 33A100 or the Rohmann MR3/SR1 and SR2 Drives (with special adapter cable).

Dual Frequency/Channel Feature

At different frequencies, different signal indications (e.g. lift off and defect) have a different relative phase and amplitude response. By means of Phase rotation and Gain change of the X Y signal components one of these indications can be manipulated to be almost identical in phase and amplitude as the other and then by subtraction (mixing), the unwanted component is minimised, giving an improved detection of the required signal.
