Function
The DEFECTOSCOP EV is a portable battery operated eddy current impedance plane instrument that is used for detecting surface and subsurface flaws in conductive materials (metals). The material surface may be painted, laquered or untreated. In addition, the instrument can be used for simple materials sorting applications, for example, to differentiate between heat-treated and unheat-treated components.
The DEFECTOSCOP EV also includes a video channel for connection of a video camera or other video device. The video capability can be used to facilitate remote visual inspection or to document images along with eddy current signals.
The instrument's easy operation, compact size, and wide range of capabilities makes it an ideal general purpose instrument for maintenance inspection and metal processing and manufacturing facilities.
