Elotest PL650

Elotest PL650

Overview

Replaces the Elotest IS

A new dimension of Eddy Current testing, which leaves nothing to be desired. This device is the innovative, all-digital Eddy Current platform for a wide range of applications with an outstanding performance and reliability. ELOTEST PL650 is available in different casings, depending on the application. Fields of application are amongst others precise material sorting or inspections for cracks and grinding burns. A flexible software and license system makes it possible to adapt or to extend the capacity according to the individual testing task. Owing to various casing and operating concepts, such as the remote connection via the client‘s software and computer, ELOTEST PL650 can be perfectly integrated into automated inspection systems and into existing test lines.

 

 

Features

  • Flexible and adaptable to the task for every type of Eddy Current testing
  • Mux / Array Probes
    • The ELOTEST PL650 is perfectly suited for the parameter multiplex with up to 64 parameter sets as well as the sensor multiplex with up to 64 external individual sensors or array sensors. Multiplex rate up to 125 kHz.
  • 10 Hz - 12 MHz Frequency Range
    • Best inspection results with a classic Eddy Current and harmonic wave evaluation
    • Utmost inspection reliability through comprehensive system and sensor monitoring
    • Full integration through extensive I/O functions with a fieldbus connection
    • Flexible expandability thanks to the modular structure
  • PL650 + IPM
    • The Scan\Alyzer documentation and evaluation software combined with the modern Eddy Current testing technology provides precise signal and status analyses. It is also used for maintenance and production monitoring for safety relevant components, because of its serial scan function. The Image Processing Module (IPM) is the enhanced image evaluation functionality for marking, masking out and evaluating of Scan\Alyzer 7.x C-Scans.

Remote Models

A “remote” version of the ELOTEST PL650, equipped with an identical hardware configuration, but without a user interface, is available for specific needs. The ELOTEST PL650R provides all functionalities with no limits and is operated by remote control via a touch screen or a PC-Client. The minimum version of the ELOTEST PL650R is equipped with a CHM-650 Eddy Current testing module. The PL650R has a maximum of 16 channels, and the PL650RC has a maximum of 4 channels.
