Eddyfi Ectane 3 Eddy Current Test Instrument Repair

June Company repairs the Eddyfi Ectane 3 at the component level — the multi-technique acquisition channels, the probe connectors, the drive electronics and the control boards — rather than swapping modules until something works. Send us the instrument and you get a firm quote before anything is touched, a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty on the work, and NIST-traceable calibration included with most repairs. The evaluation fee is credited to the repair, and most instruments are back out the door in one to three business days.

Knowing the instrument is the difference between a repair and a parts swap. The Ectane 3 is a multi-technique instrument rather than an eddy current box — conventional ECT, eddy current array, remote field, near field and flux leakage all run from the same acquisition hardware. For repair that is the important fact, because a fault can present on one technique and not another, and people reasonably conclude the instrument is fine. Array channels in particular fail quietly: the acquisition continues, the C-scan still renders, and the coverage it represents is no longer what you think it is. We test the channels rather than the techniques.

What is included with every Ectane 3 repair

• Component-level diagnosis and repair — board and component work by certified technicians, not module replacement.
• A firm quote before any work begins — including which subsystem failed and why, so the decision is yours.
• 90-day parts-and-labor warranty on everything we repair.
• NIST-traceable calibration included with most repairs.
• Functional testing against a reference standard before the instrument ships back.
• Evaluation fee credited to the repair — it is not an extra charge on top.
• No forms and no account needed — send it in and we take it from there.
• Out-of-warranty and end-of-support instruments welcome — a large share of what comes through the bench.

Common Ectane 3 problems we fix

• Dead or weak array channels — coverage quietly reduced while the C-scan still renders and looks complete.
• Probe connector wear and damage — intermittent channels and drifting balance, usually mistaken for a probe fault.
• Drive and balance circuit faults — signals that will not null cleanly, or drift away during a run.
• Technique-specific acquisition faults — one mode failing while others still work, which masks the underlying hardware problem.
• Display and interface failures — dim or unresponsive panels, and control faults that make setup unusable in the field.
• Battery, charging and power faults — shortened runtime, or shutdowns partway through an inspection.
• Data transfer and software faults — acquisitions not exporting to the analysis software, or the instrument not being recognised.

FAQs

What does the evaluation involve, and what does it cost me? We bench-test the instrument, identify the failed subsystem and send you a firm price. The evaluation fee is credited to the repair if you go ahead, so the repair costs what the quote says and nothing more.

ECT works but the array does not. Is that the instrument or the probe? It can be either, and the distinction is worth paying for. We test the acquisition channels directly rather than inferring from probe behaviour, so you are not replacing an expensive array to chase an instrument fault.

Does a couple of dead array channels really matter? Yes. The scan still renders and still looks complete, but the coverage it represents is smaller than the image implies — which is the kind of error that does not announce itself.
