Eddy Current (ECT) Flaw Detection Equipment and Instruments

for Non Destructive Testing (NDT)

ETher NDE offers an extensive range of Eddy Current (ECT) NDT instruments to cater for a wide variety of industries, applications and operator levels. We pride ourselves of developing innovative and end-user focussed equipment and we are continuously striving to develop our product range.

The ETher NDE handheld family of flaw detectorsincludes the AeroCheck , WeldCheck family and the ETherCheck (EC and Bond Tester), the SteelCheck (Carbon Steel ID Tube Tester) and the PhaseCheck (Eddy Current C-Scan Inspection Unit).  Plus the EmbedEC range. Click here for an overview of the range.

Guides – allows the user to display a slide show that can be created easily with commonly used desktop software. The benefit of this feature is that instructions, tutorials and procedures for an inspection can be added to the instrument very quickly and the NDT inspector can easily switch between the inspection itself and the “Guides” while performing a live test.

Loop - is a convenient way of capturing a short live repetitive signal and then optimizing the instrument settings through real time adjustments of the Phase, Gain, Balance, Filters and Display Configuration in order to simplify the task of optimising the parameters. The “Loop” function is excellent for calibration set up especially for setting the filters for Rotary and Dual Frequency mix.

Trace - The trace function allows a reference waveform to be stored on the screen and appears along with the graticule behind the live spot. This allows the operator to readily compare the live data with the reference calibration.

Protective Boot & Integrated Strap – has enhanced durability through a fully-fitted, custom-designed outer “protective boot” and integral hand-strap for even greater ruggedness and easier grip.

Auto Lift-Off Gain Compensation – Feature to add automatic paint thickness compensation using absolute and bridge mode simultaneously on the weld probe.

Removable Storage – microSD 2GB (500 saved settings, 500 screen shots) microSD 32GB (10,000 saved settings, 10, 000 screen shots).

C-Scan and Motorised Scanner control – The PhaseCheck offers 2 axis incremental  encoder input and USB scanner control. This means that C-Scan Images can be recorded and the XY data stored for the image for post-test analysis.

Splash Case - Please note that the splash case for the new WeldCheck2, WeldCheck+, AeroCheck2, AeroCheck+ needs to be AAER004.

Eddy Current Flaw Detector - AeroCheck 2 & AeroCheck+, including Rotary As Standard.

The AeroCheck has been targeted for the exacting needs of the aerospace industry. Common areas on an aircraft that can be inspected with the AeroCheck Series include wheel brakes, wheels and landing gear, fasteners and fastener holes, engine mounts, fuselage, wing surface and hinges, bulkheads, tail plane, door access points, window frames, engine blades and engine discs.

Fully capable of all the common eddy current inspection applications you may encounter on an aircraft including paint thickness, sub-surface and surface crack detection, the AeroCheck is the ideal eddy current instrument for the job.

The AeroCheck Eddy Current 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 capabilities as standard and also absolute, bridge and reflection probe modes without the need for adapters.
