Detailed Overview

• Lightweight and Durable: Designed for portability without sacrificing toughness, ACE is the ideal solution for on-site, single-operator inspections.
• ACFMT Technology: Based on eddy current principles, ACE induces small, uniform currents within the test material surface. It measures changes in these currents to detect and characterize surface-breaking defects, measuring the length and depth accurately.
• Comprehensive Reporting Software: ACE’s powerful software allows users to generate detailed inspection reports, including defect sizes, locations, and scan data. All scan data is stored for audit tracking, and the software supports in-depth investigations and customized report generation.

Innovative

The ACE system includes a wide range of ACFMT probes, both standard and bespoke, designed for smooth repeatable inspections. Each probe is engineered with integrated “Start/Pause,” “Stop,” and “Change Direction” buttons, making them ideal for one-person operation. Key probe options include:

• Standard Weld Probes: Ideal for topside weld inspections, these probes feature large drive coils that are perfect for sizing deep defects. They are also suitable for general component inspections wherever access allows.
• Pencil Probes: For areas where the larger weld probe geometry doesn’t fit, the pencil probes are available in straight or right-angled nose configurations. These are perfect for accessing tight or challenging inspection areas and feature smaller drive inducers for improved performance, especially around plate edges.

Whether you need to inspect Ferritic or Austenitic welds, the ACE system supports 5 kHz probes for Ferritic Welds and 50 kHz probes for Austenitic welds, ensuring precise results across a wide range of materials

Advanced Software for Seamless Inspections

ACE’s inspection software has been optimized to work alongside the hardware, making inspections simpler, faster, and more efficient:

• Real-Time Feedback: Probes provide live scanning status and configuration details, so you can monitor your inspection every step of the way.
• Audit Tracking & Data Storage: All scan data is stored for full audit tracking, ensuring that every inspection is thoroughly documented and easily accessible for later review.
• Custom Reports: The accompanying desktop software enables in-depth analysis of scan data and the creation of bespoke, client-specific reports, complete with defect sizes, locations, and detailed inspection data.

Effortless Reporting

Creating inspection reports is simple with ACE. With just a few key presses, you can quickly generate a report from any dataset. The final report includes:

• Location information
• Relevant data traces
• Defect sizes
• Notes entered during the inspection

Reports are available in both PDF and DOCX formats and include details on the probe and instrument used, as well as an inspector “sign-off” for verification.

Top Features & Benefits
