GE’s Mentor EM eddy current NDT portable allows you to easily access on-device workflow applications that efficiently guide the inspector while capturing electromagnetic (eddy current) inspection data. Real-time collaboration with remote experts allows fast and accurate indication confirmation. No more stacks of paperwork or questionable inspection calls, just easy and efficient nondestructive testing for weld, aerospace (including rotary) and general purpose inspections.

Features:

• Use it anywhere: A high-resolution display allows you to see the screen in any light
• Make better, faster decisions: Base your next steps on precise, real-time inspection readings
• Access to industry knowledge: Wireless capabilities allow users to access offsite experts, service bulletins and workflows
• Easy-to-use technology: Step-by-step workflows on a user-friendly, customizable interface allow for easy data collection and reporting
• Made for the way you work: Conveniently use the touchscreen while wearing gloves

Innovative Design
The all-new GE Mentor EM redefines eddy current inspection with its excellent signal-to-noise ratio and high-resolution display that’s easy to see in any light. It incorporates user-designed-application workflows, and onboard Wi-Fi capability so that inspectors of all levels can easily communicate with each other. Plus an off-the-shelf lithium-ion battery with battery energy content of less than 100Wh, means you can easily transport the Mentor EM on aircraft and helicopter.

Instant Collaboration
It’s not just about getting readings, it’s about getting accurate readings, every time, from every inspector. With Mentor EM, NDT experts connect wirelessly to their inspectors in the field to review real-time inspection results and support them as they gather data. They can even share screens instantly and add notes or comments in real time. Training is easy and inspectors can share screens to troubleshoot on the spot. No more hard copy service bulletins or chance of miscommunication. Everything they need will be right there in their hands—in real time.

Probes for All Inspections
GE offers a wide range of probes for use with the Mentor EM. Specialized probes may be ordered and designed upon request.
Available Probes:

• Absolute pencil probes for surface scanning
• Reflection probes for subsurface inspection
• WeldScan probes for weld inspection
• Rotating scanner probes for fastener hole inspection
• Eddy current and RFT ID tubing probes
• Conductivity probes for heat treatment verification and metal grade sorting
