ETher NDE, a leader in advanced eddy current and electromagnetic inspection technologies, is proud to announce the launch of ACE, the next generation of portable Alternating Current Field Measurement Technology (ACFMT). The ACE combines cutting-edge NDT capabilities with a lightweight and rugged design to provide the industry with an efficient, easy-to-use tool for superior inspection results.
The ACE instrument offers all the power and precision of traditional ACFMT technology but in a compact, portable instrument without compromising on performance. With a range of standard and bespoke probes, with two probes included in a standard kit, ACE is equipped to handle a diverse array of industrial applications, from routine inspections to complex assessments, and is backed by a Standard Two-Year warranty.
Based on eddy current principles, ACE induces a uniform current within the test material surface. It measures changes in these currents to detect and characterize surface-breaking defects, measuring the length and depth with consistent accuracy.
ACE’s inspection software has been optimised to work seamlessly with the hardware, making inspections simpler, faster, and more efficient. Probes are auto-recognised and deliver real-time feedback providing the operator with live scanning status and configuration details, so an inspection can be monitored every step of the way, whilst all Scan Data is stored for full audit tracking. The accompanying Desktop Software enables in-depth analysis of scan data and the creation of bespoke, client-specific reports, complete with defect sizes, locations, and detailed inspection data.
“ACE represents a significant leap forward in ACFMT inspection technology,” said Mike Reilly, CEO of ETher NDE. “We’ve engineered a product that delivers the reliability and accuracy our customers rely on while ensuring ease of use and versatility in the field. We predict that the Ether NDE ACE will breathe life back into the ACFMT inspection market for individual operators and inspection companies alike.”
Available now, ACE is poised to become a crucial tool for industries requiring high-quality reliable inspection techniques for weld inspection, whether in offshore,/infrastructure projects, the petrochemical sector, rope access inspection, mining, rail, tank storage, or beyond - ACE provides a seamless solution for reliable in-field NDT.
