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.
