ACFM CRACK MICROGAUGE MODEL
AMIGO

 

AMIGO picture

 

 

The AMIGO represents a significant advance in ACFM topside inspection technology.

The new instrument has all the advantages of ACFM inspection available on other TSC instruments, but in a smaller, lighter package, and with the added benefits of a longer battery life and support for simple array probes.

The system provides:

  • Rapid scanning using a hand-held probe.

  • Reliable crack detection and sizing (length and depth).

  • Dual frequency option:

    • 5kHz (for optimum performance on ferritic steel).
    • 50kHz (for improved sensitivity on non-ferrous metals).

  • Rugged site unit, IP54 rated.

  • Around 10 hour operation on one fully-charged battery pack, and easy exchange of battery packs in the field.

  • Reduced cleaning requirements with no need to clean to bare metal.

  • Capable of inspection through thin metallic coatings, or through non-conducting coatings up to 10mm thick.

  • Windows software for ease of operation and compatibility with other Windows applications.

  • Full data storage for back-up, off-line view and audit purposes.

  • Access to a wide range of geometries using TSC’s new range of active topside probes.

  • Buttons for RUN / STOP and MARKERS on instrument and larger probes to allow one man operation in difficult access areas.

  • Intelligent probes to simplify operation.

SOFTWARE

A new version of TSC's user-friendly QFM software (v3) has been produced to take advantage of the major improvements incorporated in the Amigo. The new version retains the look and feel of earlier versions to avoid the need for retraining of U9 operators.

Existing users of the Model U9 should note that because of the introduction of active, intelligent probes it is not possible to use old-style U9 probes or QFMv2 software with the new instrument. The Model U9 instrument will continue to be supported and available for users requiring on-site ACPD capabilities.

 

OPERATOR TRAINING

Lloyds/CSWIP Accredited Operator training courses are held at various centres in the United Kingdom. PCN operator certification also available soon. Details on request. The course duration is five working days.

 

AVAILABILITY

The AMIGO Portable ACFM Crack Microgauge is available from TSC for sale and rental. Trained operators are available for contracts on a worldwide basis.
