Overview

The 90-degree design of Right Angle Surface probes enables inspection of areas with restricted access. Belonging to the family of detachable stainless-steel shaft surface probes, right angle probes feature small coils and a small-diameter housing built for higher frequencies. They are usually used for surface breaking crack detection.

Advantages

Suitable for small defect detection.
Reaches areas inaccessible to standard probes.
Drop helps to inspect 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 inspection, aircraft unit inspection, and aircraft engine inspection.
Through paint detection of stress corrosion cracking in stainless and carbon steel.
Surface crack inspection of manufacturing and transportation equipment.

These probes are compatible with the NORTEC 600

The lightweight NORTEC 600 series eddy current flaw detectors incorporate a full range of features, including automatic internal balancing of the coils and a VGA output connector. Various models also include features such as conductivity and coating thickness measurement, rotating scanner compatibility, and dual frequency operation.

Absolute Bridge

Absolute bridge type probes

Internal reference coils ensure the best match to the test coil when using a Triax (Fischer™*) or Powerlink™ connector.
Shielded coil for higher resolution.
Detect cracks in all directions.
Probe-type commonly used worldwide.
Cost-effective option.

Olympus absolute bridge type probes give a clean and strong signal as shown.
