Olympus Nortec 500D Dual Frequency Eddy Current Flaw Detector

Description

The Olympus Nortec 500D Dual Frequency Eddy Current Flaw Detector by Olympus is a cutting-edge instrument designed for non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. The Nortec 500D is renowned for its dual frequency capability, enabling users to perform comprehensive inspections on a wide range of materials in various industrial sectors. The Nortec 500D is equipped with advanced digital signal processing, ensuring high sensitivity and accuracy in flaw detection. Its robust and user-friendly interface makes it suitable for both field and laboratory environments, providing operators with a powerful tool for maintaining quality control and ensuring material integrity.

The Olympus Nortec 500D Series eddy current flaw detectors incorporate a full range of features: internal balance coils, VGA output connector (for heads up displays, monitors, and projectors), and a USB interface for rapid information transfer. The Olympus Nortec 500 also includes PowerLink, for automatic probe recognition and program set-up.

The Olympus Nortec 500D improves on previous Nortec eddy current instruments and is available in four configurations. Each configuration includes a USB port and increased resolution with reduced noise. Internal balance coils allow use of inexpensive absolute probes without the need or external balance coil adapters. A builtin preamp adds extra gain when needed for difficult tests. VGA output allows for the display to be projected or viewed on a standard computer screen. The optional remote-null adapter adds convenience by allowing the probe to be nulled and the instrument screen erased from the probe.

Where weight is critical, the smaller battery lightens the instrument to 1.2 kg (2.8 lbs) while keeping the full VGA resolution and display size.
