BondCheck

Key advantages

• Multi-mode bond testing – pitch-catch, resonance and MIA.
• Quick set-up, including air calibration in resonance mode.
• Lightweight and portable.
• Dry coupled pitch-catch and MIA probes.
• Automatic test frequency optimisation.
• Ideal for metallic bonded structures, composites and honeycomb.

Overview

The BondCheck tests bonds in three modes. All three share one user interface in a single lightweight instrument, so set-up is simple. It can be used in the lab, in the hangar or outdoors. The large 14.5cm (5.7”) 640 x 480 daylight readable colour screen can be split or inset with X-Y spot, frequency sweep, RF waveform and spectrum displays.

Probes

• Pitch-catch probe – CNC machined aluminium with rubber grips, adjustable feet, interchangeable rounded or flat tips, broadband 30kHz operation, alarm LED and digital ID with stored settings. A smaller form factor is available for tight areas.
• MIA probe – dry coupled Mechanical Impedance Analysis for honeycomb and composite structures.
• Resonance probes – supplied in kits for laminate and bonded structure inspection.
