The company designs and manufactures all products at its Lincolnshire facility, with a global sales and distribution network. It has operated in the Chicago area for over 125 years, and is ISO 9001-2000 certified.

These lightweight eddy current inspection devices can be used for crack and corrosion detection and conductivity and coating thickness measurement in the most difficult of inspection environments. The Phasec 3 is a single frequency instrument for crack and corrosion detection and conductivity and coating measurements in a wide range of applications in virtually every industrial segment. The Phasec 3s adds dynamic rotating inspection capability, which ensures increased probability of detection and faster operation when inspecting bolt-holes or other bores. The Phasec 3d adds dual frequency capability to the functionality of the 3s so that it is possible to inspect at two different depths and optimise weld inspections. Due to a large colour screen, colour coding can now be used to highlight specific data, to allow easier, more reliable and faster interpretation of displayed signals, as each channel is assigned its own colour. Colour coding can be used to differentiate between stored and active signals and it is possible to use colour to differentiate the graticule from the signal. With a choice of eight colour combinations, viewability can be optimised for specific situations according to personal taste. Incorporating all the functionality of earlier Phasec models, the new range of instruments can operate in phase plane, Y(t) and bar graph modes and spot information gives the coordinates on screen. Digital alarm systems can be audio or visual and help to ensure that all defects are identified.
