PhaseCheck

Key advantages

• C-scan imaging in a hand-held eddy current flaw detector for the first time.
• Based on the AeroCheck+ with the same look-and-feel user interface.
• Dual probe or dual frequency capability.
• Flexible dual bridge and reflection probe inspection.
• Connect up to two encoders for X/Y scanning.
• Automatic control and C-scan acquisition with a 2-axis stepper motor scanner.
• Post-analyse data for peer review and audit purposes.
• Easily incorporate C-scan results into reports.
• Large 145mm (5.7”) daylight readable display in a rugged 1.2kg housing.
• 2 year warranty, extendable to 5 years with ETherCover.

Overview

Eddy current C-scans used to need large, costly lab systems. A C-scan is a colour map of the scanned area. The PhaseCheck carries all the features and performance of the AeroCheck+ combined with the ability to scan areas and document results as a C-scan, using X/Y and R/Theta manual scanners with easy scan calibration. C-scans are typically 120 x 100mm at 0.1mm resolution, or up to 1m x 1m at 1mm resolution in a single file, and can be exported as a bitmap, Excel spreadsheet or raw data.

On-board eddy current modes

• C-scan
• Single probe, single frequency
• Single probe, dual frequency
• Dual probe, dual channel
• Conductivity with thickness

Post test analysis

C-scan data can be re-examined on the instrument by changing channel views, phase and gain, or exported to the ETherScan Viewer PC application. Because the underlying data is recorded, files can be enhanced, peer reviewed and analysed remotely – including on composite materials where eddy current is increasingly being applied.
