When used in conjunction with IOtech’s eZ-NDT software, the NDTHammer2 strikes the part under test with controlled impulse energy, eliminating the variation caused by striking the part manually with a hand-held hammer. NDTHammer2 is especially well suited for automated NDT systems where the striking of the part under test and the collection of the resultant resonant information are totally under control of the eZ-NDT software.

The NDTHammer2 system consists of two separately packaged items; the hammer unit and the control unit. Unlike other electric impact hammers, NDTHammer2 isolates the electronic control circuitry from the mechanical striking components, eliminating failures due to hammer heat, shock, and vibration.

The control unit is housed in a NEMA12 enclosure and contains user controls to adjust the strike force of the hammer. The control unit also contains a resetable counter and display showing the number of hits since it last was reset. The control unit accepts a trigger signal in the form of a TTL pulse or a switch closure from a PLC or like device.

The hammer unit is housed in an extremely rugged, compact, steel enclosure. Using the supplied cable, the hammer unit connects directly to the control unit with locking, NEMA12 connectors at both ends. The hammer unit can be oriented in any direction including side striking, top striking, or bottom striking. To supply a trigger signal to the eZ-NDT software, the hammer unit contains a rugged +5,000G accelerometer, accessible from a BNC connector on its back panel. The hammer unit has no fragile external wiring or load cell.
