The flexible shaft of these surface probes can be shaped to perform inspections of areas that are very difficult to reach. The small diameter housing and small coils of these detachable copper-shaft surface probes are built for high frequencies, making them ideal for surface breaking crack detection.
Advantages
Excellent for small defect detection.
Best option for areas inaccessible to standard probes.
Bendable shaft enables inspection around fasteners.
Available with Powerlink™ technology.
Wide selection of lengths and drops.
Available with bridge or reflection configuration.
Applications
Through paint inspection of aircraft rivets.
Aircraft structure, unit, and engine inspection.
Through paint detection of stress corrosion cracking in stainless and carbon steel.
Surface crack inspection of manufacturing and transportation equipment.
