Eddy current flaw detector Spitfire 3000 Scanner

portablefor the aerospace industryfor aeronautical part

Product overview
Handheld rotating bolthole scanners that integrate with NORTEC™ eddy current flaw detectors for inspection of fastener, bore and bolt holes. Designed for aircraft structural maintenance, they deliver high-speed, high-frequency eddy-current testing for fast, repeatable flaw detection in ferrous and nonferrous alloys.

Key features

• Speed range 600–3000 rpm for high-resolution data and faster scanning
• LED alarm indicates detected flaws to reduce missed defects during rapid scans
• High-frequency capability (up to 6 MHz) for detection of smaller defects
• High-torque direct drive for rapid rotation of large probes (Spitfire 3000)

Compatibility and system integration
Scanners adapt to existing eddy current techniques, NORTEC™ flaw detectors and probes for seamless integration into maintenance workflows.

• Compatible with NORTEC™ flaw detectors equipped with scanner and dual-frequency options
• Connector types: 4-pin Fischer and LEMO
• Designed for reflection differential probes (other coil types available on request)
• Available as individual probes or probe kits for a complete inspection toolbox

Ergonomic handheld designs
Handheld scanners are available in right-angle and ergonomic-grip forms to improve operator comfort and productivity during aircraft inspections.

• Lightweight, one-hand operation for efficiency
• Flexible scanning direction for access to confined locations
• Ergonomic non-slip handle for extended use (Spitfire 3000)

Applications
Suitable for inspection of ferrous and nonferrous alloys in multiple aerospace applications:

• Aircraft airframes with or without fasteners
• Critical attachment fittings and support frames
• Wheel tie bolthole inspections
• Surface inspections and postproduction crack testing
• Tube plug testing

Versatile scanner setup
Switch quickly between handheld and hands-free system use via the removable rail on the Spitfire 3000 scanner.

• Rail mount for hands-free or automated inspection setups
• Ideal for airframe inspection, wheel hole inspection and automated bolthole inspection systems
• Large thumb screw allows tool-free rail removal

Rotating scanner probe kits
Probe kits include a carrying case and a selection of common rotating probe sizes to simplify field inspection. See the Eddy Current Probe Kit catalog for full kit contents.
