Rebarscope®

The eddy current sensor is specifically designed to react to the outer surface of the metal object. It is uninfluenced by small metal particles in the concrete, whether the concrete is fresh or hardened, wet, or dry. The eddy current sensor also allows the unit to locate both ferrous as well as non-ferrous metals in concrete and other non-metallic construction materials. This sensor has also been designed with temperature compensation circuitry as well. The temperature compensation circuitry not only improves accuracy and performance but allows the operator to use the equipment without a “zero” procedure first. As always only one sensor is required for all depth ranges and functions of the equipment.

The latest in microprocessor technology not only conditions the signal from the sensor for more accurate and dependable results but provides the user with the information they need. Rebar diameter can be estimated by using a simple system of comparison. All this is fully automated for consistent, repeatable results with increased resolution over previous models.

The microprocessor can also statistically analyze the data, searching automatically for minimum cover points, and the least cover of a group of points. A Cover Map or display of cover points as a symbolic map of a structure can assist the user in finding problematic areas. Built in memory can store over 80 thousand individual data points for later processing.

Feedback to the user can also be made via the direct view, sunlight readable digital screen, or via head phones. By separating the sensor from the main instrumentation unit, difficult to reach area’s can be handled with ease.

The optional Scan Cart can be used to graphically display a cross section of the concrete and the location of the metal objects within. With its built in encoder objects can be located with both distance and depth recorded.

Rebarlinx® the fully integrated PC software allows the upload and storage of data points via USB. The ruggedised Rebarscope® provides the field engineer/technician with all the tools necessary to locate and determine what and where all metal objects are within the structure.
