EtherCheck, Eddy Current and Bond Testing

ETher NDE is happy to introduce the advanced EtherCheck ET/Bond testing flaw detector that enables non-destructive testing (NDT). It has been developed for NDE on aerospace specific applications and provides the very best in bond testing and eddy current performance in a rugged, compact, and lightweight package.

Designed and developed in the UK, the EtherCheck flaw detector utilizes industry standard 12-Way Lemo and Co-axial Lemo 00 connectors, providing conductivity, rotary drive¸ and dual frequency as standard and also bridge, absolute, and reflection probe modes without the necessity for adapters.

Advantages

• Pitch catch bond testing mode
• Dual frequency
• Industry standard probe connectors
• Rotary drive as standard
• User-friendly interface
• Large and crisp daylight readable display
• Up to 7 hours of battery life with a rotary drive and 0 hours with a pencil probe

Works the Way You Do!

Featuring a daylight-readable 5.7” LCD color full VGA (640 X 480 pixels) screen, the EtherCheck ensures excellent signal resolution and presentation to operators irrespective of the working conditions, and thanks to the integrated “flip” function, it operates equally well for both left and right-handed users.

Lightweight, Rugged, and Easy to Use

The EtherCheck is lightweight at 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) and is housed in a robust metal casing. It features easy-to-navigate menu systems, provides up to 10 hours of battery life, and delivers excellent EC performance.

A simple “single-level” menu system is included in the EtherCheck. However, any menu item can also be added to the “Quick Menu” sidebar with its own easily recognizable icon, allowing faster adjustments at the time of the inspection process.

The EtherCheck has been solely designed with operator-selectable “soft keys”. Each menu item comes with its own easily recognizable icon. Four soft key positions are available for operator-selectable icons for commonly used functions, and a fifth position for the last menu function used. Moreover, each saved instrument setting can be related to an exclusive, one press set of quick access functions. Two front panel hard keys are also included that can be conveniently programed for quick one-press access to instrument functions.
