The Profoscope uses electromagnetic pulse induction technology to detect rebars. Coils in the probe are periodically charged by current pulses and thus generate a magnetic field. On the surface of any electrically conductive material which is in the magnetic field in opposite direction. The resulting change in voltage can be utilized for the measurement. The Profoscope uses different coil arrangements to generate
several magnetic fields. Advanced signal processing allows:
- localization of a rebar
- localization of the mid-point between rebars
- determination of the cover
- estimation of the bar diameter
- determination of the orientation of a rebar
The Profoscope+ has the same features
as the Profoscope, but also offers memory function to download, edit and present the data measured. Data exchange can be done easily by connecting
the Profoscope+ directly to the USB-port of the PC or by reading out the integrated Micro SD memory card.
