AeroCheck 3
Available with or without the thumbwheel option the AeroCheck 3 Dual Frequency Flaw Detector delivers the best in Eddy Current performance, with rotary inspection capabilities as standard, together with variety of advanced features.
The AeroCheck 3 offers improved mechanical and ergonomic design together with variety of advanced features.
Based on operator feedback and embracing the use of new materials, the AeroCheck 3 embodies enhanced ruggedness, a toughened screen, improved connector access and performance, combined with optional features such as an encoder wheel.
The dual frequency AeroCheck 3 has a frequency range of 10Hz to 20MHz, ensuring a diverse range of real world applications can be met.
LIGHTWEIGHT, RUGGED, “SURE GRIP” & ENHANCED PROTECTION
The AeroCheck 3 weighs just 1.15kg (2.54lbs) and has a blended polymer case, withstanding of high levels of impact, oil and UV resistance.
Over-moulded rubber gives the end-user improved handling and enhanced grip, with or without gloves. Ergonomic features are embraced within the case design and at the rear moulded “bars” offer a more comfortable grip of the unit during long periods of use. A wide, detachable hand strap, is also available for easy carrying.
The AeroCheck 3 Series now offers the option of two models, one with the standard keypad for instrument navigation and the other with a thumbwheel configuration for fast single-handed software navigation, phase and gain adjustment during inspection.
The AeroCheck Series can be used with all reflection, bridge and absolute probes from all manufacturers and uses industry standard 12-Way Lemo and Co-axial Lemo 00 connectors, reducing the need to use adapters.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, our instruments are backed by the ETher NDE promise of outstanding customer service and technology that is both reliable and advanced.

Features
Auto-Mix
Simplifies the sometimes complex procedure of mixing two different frequency signals, which can be achieved on the AeroCheck+ through a series of easy steps. Setting the Auto-mix itself is as simple as pressing one key.
Innovative “Loop” Feature
“Loop” is a convenient way of capturing a live repetitive signal and then adjusting the instrument settings especially Phase, Gain and Filters in order to simplify the task of optimizing the parameters.
“Guides” Feature
"Guides" allow the user to display a slide show that can be created easily with commonly used desktop software. The benefit of this feature is that instructions, tutorials and procedures for the inspection can be added to the AeroCheck+ very quickly and the NDT inspector can easily switch between the Inspection itself and the “Guides” while performing a live test.
Trace
The trace function allows a reference waveform to be stored on the screen and appears along with the graticule behind the live spot. This allows the operator to readily compare the live data with the reference calibration.
Operator defined “soft keys”
There are four soft key positions for operator selectable icons for frequently used functions and a fifth position for the last menu function used. Each saved instrument setting can be associated with a unique, one press set of quick access functions. There are also two front panel hard keys that can also be easily programmed for rapid one press access to instrument functions.
Industry standard probe connectors
All of the probe connections on the AeroCheck 3 are IP68 rated which further enhances the adaptability of this flaw detector across industrial sectors.
Probe socket LEMO 12-Way 2B (IP68): Absolute, Bridge, Reflection and Conductivity.
Probe socket LEMO Coax OO (IP68): Absolute.

Screens
-
Dual Frequency/Channel feature
At different frequencies, different signal indications (e.g. lift off and defect) have a different relative phase and amplitude response. By means of Phase rotation and Gain change of the X Y signal components one of these indications can be manipulated to be almost identical in phase and amplitude as the other and then by subtraction (mixing), the unwanted component is minimised, giving an improved detection of the required signal.
-
Conductivity Measurement
When connecting the Conductivity Probe, the WeldCheck 3 auto-detects the probe and seamlessly switches into conductivity mode. The Conductivity Measurement Option is available through the purchase of the KACON001 KIT.
-
Trace Feature
The trace function allows a reference trace to be stored on the screen and appears along with the graticule behind the live spot, allowing the operator to readily compare the live data with the reference calibration.
