Although it may look the same as ETher NDE's other quality Phase Plane instruments, don't let it fool you, the AmCheck has been designed specifically with the Additive Manufacturing industry in mind. It can be conveniently panel mounted for inspection of AM parts during inspection, and streams data over the USB connection to the AM host computer for display, analysis and reporting. The ETher NDE AmCheck works as the perfect turnkey solution for manufacturers needing to add or retro-fit Eddy Current inspection to a CNC or Robotic System.
The data recorded in the C-Scan can be further analyzed on-board the instrument by changing the channel views, the phase and gain, or exported for further analysis using the post analysis PC Application ETherScanViewer.
