Description
AeroCheck – High-Performance Portable NDT Instrument
The AeroCheck Flaw Detector is a high-performance, rugged portable instrument designed for advanced eddy current (EC) non-destructive testing (NDT) across aerospace, transport, manufacturing, material sorting, and wheel inspection applications. Delivering precise flaw detection and versatile inspection capability in a lightweight and ergonomic form factor, the AeroCheck series provides industry-leading performance for field and workshop testing.
Built and engineered in the United Kingdom, the AeroCheck flaw detectors embody the ETher NDE commitment to durability, reliable technology, and exceptional customer support — making them ideal for demanding industrial environments.
Key Features & Performance
- Advanced Eddy Current Technology: Available in single-frequency (AeroCheck 2) and dual-frequency (AeroCheck+) models, covering broad frequency ranges to suit diverse inspection needs.
- Rotary Inspection Built In: Rotary drive capabilities come as standard, enabling efficient hole, fastener, and surface inspections without additional modules.
- Large Daylight-Readable Display: A crisp 5.7″ LCD colour screen (full VGA 640×480) ensures clear signal presentation and configuration visibility even in bright outdoor conditions.
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive menu system with configurable quick-access functions simplifies setup and operation for both experienced and new NDT inspectors.
- Rugged and Lightweight: Housed in a durable metal casing yet weighing approximately 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs), the AeroCheck provides excellent portability without sacrificing robustness.
- Long Battery Life: Up to 10 hours of operation with pencil probe use and approximately 7 hours with rotary drive support extended field-use without frequent charging.
- Wide Probe Compatibility: Works seamlessly with reflection, bridge, and absolute eddy current probes using industry-standard LEMO connectors, minimizing adapter needs.
- Flexible Techniques: Advanced features such as Loop signal optimization, Guides for workflow support, Trace for reference waveform comparison, and Auto-mix (AeroCheck+) further enhance testing efficiency and accuracy.
- Ergonomic Controls: Built-in “flip” function supports both left- and right-handed use, while programmable soft keys streamline frequent operations.
