Woodpecker WP-632 Tapping Exfoliation Detector
A tapping hammer is required to see if exfoliation was produced inside a honeycomb board or laminated plate by listening to the difference in tone of the sound of the tapping. This method has been commonplace but requires skill and many years experience.
The Mitsui-developed Woodpecker WP632 is a handheld tapping unit that not only eliminates the requirement of a tapping hammer, but has also mechanized and automated the tapping work. With its built-in CPU and a sensor fitted to the battery-driven solenoid hammer, the WP632 can detect and show exfoliation in graduation on the LED display. In addition, the position and shape of core material can be checked by pushing INSERT on the DEBOND / INSERT switch. The WP632 can work in noisy places and its quantitative display of defects will not be interrupted.
