Overview

Product overview

This accessory family supports Eddyfi Technologies’ pulsed eddy current probes used to detect hidden corrosion, erosion and other defects. The range improves probe positioning, handling and access during PEC inspections with the Lyft instrument, rather than providing a separate inspection method.

For scan control, the universal clip-on encoder connects directly to second-generation single-element PEC probes without an external cable. A clip-on stabilizer helps maintain stable grid-mapping scans over highly irregular surfaces, while probe shoes reduce vibration from galvanized steel weather jackets and permit direct surface contact up to 120°C (248°F).

Extension cables increase the separation between the probe and Lyft, subject to different total cable-length limits for dynamic scanning and grid mapping. Remote-controlled and telescopic poles extend inspection reach, with the 2 m telescopic version specifically intended for ergonomic inspection of ship decks and floors. A scan grid mat provides a 25 mm (1 in) reference grid for dynamic scanning and component marking, with in-contact use limited to 70°C (160°F).

Key Features

Key capabilities

Direct-connect encoder

The universal clip-on encoder attaches to second-generation single-element PEC probes without an external cable.

Temperature-resistant probe shoes

Easy-to-install shoes support direct contact up to 120°C (248°F) and attenuate galvanized steel weather jacket vibration.

Ergonomic clip-on handles

Removable handles simplify manipulation of medium and large single-element PEC probe bodies.

Grid-mapping stabilizer

The clip-on stabilizer supports scans on very irregular surfaces with second-generation PEC probes.

Heavy-duty extension cables

Cables in 15 m (50 ft) and 30 m (100 ft) lengths extend the probe’s working distance from Lyft.

Remote-controlled extension pole

A fiberglass pole extends up to 4.6 m (15 ft) and uses an adjustable fork and remote-control keypad for inspection positioning.

Telescopic deck-inspection pole

The carbon fiber pole extends up to 2 m (6.5 ft), attaches with a quick-release fixation and accommodates small obstacles on flat horizontal surfaces.

Scan reference grid

The scan grid mat supports dynamic scans of irregular surfaces and component marking with a 25 mm (1 in) grid.
