Elotest PL600

• maximum stability with unsurpassed signal purity for best results with classical eddy current and harmonic analysis
• suitable for all types of eddy current testing: Crack, heat treatment, material mix-up and grinding burn testing
• maximum test reliability through comprehensive system and sensor monitoring
• application-specific user interfaces for simplest operation
• full integration through extensive I/O functions with fieldbus connection
• modular design allows flexible expansion with easy maintenancet

GENERAL:

The ELOTEST PL600 is a digital eddy current test instrument which leaves no wish unfulfilled. A flexible software system
allows components to be inserted which are customised for each application, so that the operation can be carried out
quickly and reliably. A licensing system allows you to match the performance of the device to the task and makes it a safe
investment at an affordable entry price. A sound concept for replacement parts and service reduces operating and maintenance costs and enables maximum availability.
