The instrument became the global standard for battery-powered eddy-current instruments. Until today, more than 1,000 instruments have been sold worldwide. In 1989 the introduction of the ELOTEST PL.1 marked the successful entry into the market of production-line inspection. In 1999 we developed the HARMONIC 2000, the first fully digital high-perfomance test instrument to inspect heat exchangers in cooperation with Framatome. That same year the ELOTEST B300 representing the third generation of battery-powered eddy-current test instruments made its debut. One year later the ELOTEST M2, the world’s most powerful one-hand universal test instrument was introduced. And we continue with full speed ahead …
