Outstanding Signal Performance for Real-World Applications

Surface Inspection

The high-performance, state-of-the-art electronics and unique vibrant display of the NORTEC 600 provide an unprecedented signal quality for surface inspection.

The NORTEC 600 instrument also comprises all the standard features for medium-high frequency surface inspection, including impedance plane views, 10×10 grid, sweep (strip chart), multiple alarm configurations, automatic lift-off, etc.

Newly added features such as null point crosshairs, fine (expanded) and web grids, and the automatic internal balance circuit (for BNC connector) make the NORTEC 600 an extremely proficient surface inspection tool.

Wheel Inspection

The proficiency of the NORTEC 600’s advanced circuitry is best demonstrated when performing wheel inspections. The probes that are used for this application usually present lower-amplitude signals, often requiring a preamplifier. However, the wide gain range (0 –100 dB) and state-of-the-art electronics of the NORTEC 600 deliver excellent quality signals during wheel inspection, without requiring a preamplifier.

Improved Filters for Bolt Hole Inspection (600S and 600D)

The simplified configuration and improved filter system of the NORTEC 600 make it an ideal instrument for bolt hole (rotary scanner) inspection. The new NORTEC® 600 filters are set by default to a “figure 6” response, the typical shape of the rotary bolt hole application. The filters can also be set to the “figure 8” response, as desired. For an even easier configuration, operators can activate the new Link option, which automatically adjusts the filter settings according to the scanner’s speed settings.

Conductivity and Coating Thickness Measurement (600C, 600S and 600D)

The improved conductivity mode of the NORTEC 600 features a new, straightforward calibration Wizard featuring user-defined conductivity and coating thickness references. The NORTEC 600 is capable of measuring conductivity and non-conductive coating thicknesses of up to 0.64 mm on non-ferromagnetic materials.

Optimized for Weld Inspection

Thanks to its portable, rugged, and durable format, the NORTEC® 600 is ideally suited for performing weld inspection in extreme environments. When inspecting a weld while using rope access, the chest harness can be attached to its four-point anchors.

The NORTEC 600 features an inspection-ready weld setup that helps simplify instrument preparation and calibration. Paint thickness can also be evaluated in both single or dual frequency mode (the NORTEC 600D model only).

Legacy Indexing Scanner Support in Critical Hole Inspection (600S and 600D)

With the NORTEC 600, inspecting critical holes is simple and reliable. Thanks to its legacy PS5 indexing rotary scanner support, improved waterfall display, and new layer cursor, the NORTEC 600 pinpoints the location of flaws in layered structures with ease.

Innovation in Dual Frequency Inspection

All-in-One Display (600D)

The new All-in-One display features up to 3 configurable traces for frequency 1, frequency 2, and mixed channels. Each channel can be displayed as impedance or strip chart, with independent display position controls.
