With its improved physical and ergonomic design the WeldCheck3 brings ETher NDE’s WeldCheck series right up to date. Based on in-field inspection feedback and embracing the use of new case materials, the WeldCheck 3 delivers the end user enhanced ruggedness, a toughened screen, improved connector access and performance, combined optional features such as an encoder wheel.

The WeldCheck 3 is a dual-frequency eddy current inspection instrument with conductivity. Dual channel / frequency capability means that the instrument can be used for dual and single frequency applications.

WeldCheck 3 is ideal and adaptable across an extremely wide variety of eddy current inspection tasks due to its superior performance; including weld inspection, surface defect detection and low frequency inspection of non-ferrous material.

The WeldCheck 3 Series now offers the option of two models, one with the standard keypad for instrument navigation or a thumbwheel configuration for fast one-handed software navigation, phase and gain adjustment during inspection.

Lightweight, compact and rugged

The WeldCheck 3 weighs just 1.15kg (2.54lbs) and has a blended polymer case, delivering the benefits of high levels of impact, oil and UV resistance.

Over-moulded rubber gives the end-user improved handling of the flaw detector and enhanced grip, with or without gloves.

Ergonomic design is embodied within the case design and at the rear moulded “bars” to offer a more comfortable grip of the unit during long periods of use. A wide, detachable hand strap, is also available for easy carrying. A streamlined pipe-stand is built-in for easy positioning on-site or for desk-based operation.

Equipped for all environments

The WeldCheck 3 is going to come up against some of the harshest working conditions in the NDT industry, not to mention being lifted and lowered on ropes, dropped and bumped.

With a rear foot stand and four harness attachment points, the WeldCheck 3 is designed to be used in all environments from the desktop in the office to the rigours of the job site. New over-moulded rubberised corners deliver enhanced impact protection and improved overall ruggedness. Internally the design is optimised to resist moist, tropical or salt-laden atmospheres. Designed to meet IP64 the WeldCheck3 will perform reliably across inhospitable environments.

Toughened daylight visible, large colour screen

We understand that the operator will use the WeldCheck 3 in all types of weather and light conditions and being able to see the screen clearly is a top priority.
The screen is further enhanced with a 2mm thick anti-reflective polycarbonate protector sheet which has excellent impact strength and added UV protection thanks to an anti-glare coating.

The WeldCheck 3 has a fully daylight readable 14.5cm LCD Colour Screen of 640 x 480 pixels ensuring the operator has excellent signal resolution and presentation no matter what the working conditions are.
The operator has the choice of configuring their own colour schemes and display types. This will optimise their viewing ability of the screen in any light conditions. It is possible to view the readings in a choice of spot, time-base, waterfall or meter display types.
