Description
AeroCheck3 – Advanced Portable Eddy Current Flaw Detector
EtherNDE AeroCheck 3 is a high-performance, portable eddy current (ET) flaw detector engineered for demanding aerospace, MRO, and industrial non-destructive testing applications. Designed and manufactured by ETher NDE, a global leader in eddy current inspection solutions, AeroCheck 3 delivers precise, repeatable, and reliable detection of surface and near-surface defects in conductive materials.
Combining advanced digital signal processing with a compact and ergonomic design, AeroCheck 3 offers exceptional inspection performance while remaining easy to use, making it suitable for both experienced NDT inspectors and technicians in training.
Advanced Eddy Current Inspection Performance
AeroCheck 3 provides excellent sensitivity for detecting cracks, corrosion, and material discontinuities in aluminum, titanium, and other conductive alloys. The instrument supports a wide range of inspection techniques, including surface inspection, bolt-hole inspection, and component evaluation in both manufacturing and in-service environments.
Its powerful signal processing capabilities allow precise adjustment of gain, phase rotation, filtering, and mixing, enabling inspectors to clearly separate defect signals from material noise and lift-off effects. This ensures high detection reliability and confidence during critical inspections.
High-Visibility Display and Intuitive User Interface
The instrument is equipped with a high-quality colour LCD display that provides clear impedance plane and signal presentations. The display is optimized for use in various lighting conditions, from workshops to hangars and outdoor field inspections.
AeroCheck 3 features an intuitive, menu-driven user interface with soft keys and programmable inspection setups. This allows quick configuration changes, fast recall of saved inspection parameters, and consistent inspection procedures across multiple operators and shifts.
Rotary and Probe Compatibility
AeroCheck 3 includes built-in rotary inspection capability, allowing direct connection of rotary scanners for fast and efficient bolt-hole inspections without the need for external controllers. This significantly improves inspection speed and reduces equipment complexity.
The device is compatible with industry-standard eddy current probes, including absolute, differential, reflection, pencil, surface, and bolt-hole probes. Standard LEMO connectors ensure seamless integration with existing probe inventories and accessories.
Data Management and Traceability
To support quality assurance and repeatability, AeroCheck 3 allows the storage of inspection setups and reference traces directly in the instrument. Inspectors can compare live signals against stored references, improving defect recognition and ensuring consistent inspection results over time.
This functionality is particularly valuable in aerospace maintenance and regulated industries where traceability, repeatability, and documented inspection procedures are essential.
Portable, Rugged, and Field-Ready Design
Designed for daily professional use, AeroCheck 3 features a lightweight yet rugged housing that withstands the demands of industrial and aerospace environments. Its compact form factor enables comfortable single-hand operation and easy transport between inspection locations.
The internal rechargeable battery provides extended operating time, supporting full work shifts without frequent recharging. The unit can also be operated while charging, ensuring uninterrupted inspections during long or critical tasks.
