Rebar Detection

To allow certain constructions and to strengthen the concrete rebars are cast into it. Drilling through those reinforcing bars is a costly business that can be dangerous: Hitting a rebar while boring into the reinforced concrete can destroy the drilling instrument and can severely weaken the concrete structure. An instrument for rebar detection that quickly and accurately determines the location of the reinforcing bars in the concrete will significantly decrease construction time and costs.

The rebar detection instrument Profoscope has a unique real-time visualization mechanism, allowing the contractor to actually see the location of rebars beneath the concrete surface. The Profoscope+ features data storage for automatic collection of data to make rebar detection more efficient.

The Profometer PM-6 combines rebar detection and measurement of concrete cover and bar diameters in one instrument.

Rebar Detector and Covermeter - Profoscope – Entry Level Model

The Profoscope is a versatile, fully-integrated rebar detector and cover meter with a unique real-time rebar visualization allowing the user to actually “SEE” the location of the rebar beneath the concrete surface to a maximum depth of 180 mm. This is coupled with rebar-proximity indicators and optical and acoustical locating aids. Rebar diameter can also be estimated within the specified testing range. The Profoscope combines these unique features in a compact, light device that allows the user to operate this rebar detector with one hand making the task of locating rebars a simple and efficient process. In addition, Proceq’s rebar detector convinces through its intuitive user interface making rebar detection easy.
Additional memory function is available with the Profoscope+.

Rebar Locator - Profoscope+

The Profoscope+ is a fully integrated rebar locator with data storage. To increase the efficiency on the construction site this enhancement of the Profoscope not only offers real time visualization of rebars, but also automatic data collection. Writing down measuring results of testing series is a time consuming business that can be an unnecessary source of errors. The various data storage modes of the rebar locator Profoscope+ make note taking obsolete. This cordless rebar detector is ideally suited for one-handed operations, keeping the other hand free for marking rebars.

The rebar locator Profoscope+ has the same features as the Profoscope, but additionally offers the innovative memory function for data acquisition.

Profometer PM-600 – Advanced Concrete Cover Meter

Profometer PM-600 is an advanced cover meter for the precise and non destructive measurement of concrete cover and rebar diameters and the detection of rebar locations using the eddy current principle with pulse induction as the measuring method.

Based on the new generation Profometer Touchscreen unit, the instrument offers real time control over the measurement procedure directly on site. The high resolution color display allows best possible measuring and analysis of the statistical data for an entire working day (battery lifetime > 8h).

The instrument comes along with a Universal Probe including a spot probe especially suited for areas with congested rebar arrangement such as columns, girders and slabs over columns.

Profometer PM-630 – Advanced Concrete Scan Cover Meter

The Profometer PM-630 advanced cover meter is a sophisticated instrument extending the application range of the Profometer PM-600 with the Line and Area Scan Modes and an extensive choice of statistical views.

It is specially suited to measuring large areas, long lines or when comprehensive reporting is required. For example when inspecting tunnels, retaining walls, concrete slab soffits, bridge slabs or dams.

Based on the new generation Profometer Touchscreen unit, the instrument offers real time control over the measurement procedure directly on site. The high resolution color display allows best possible measuring and analysis of the statistical data for an entire working day (battery lifetime > 8h).

Profometer PM-650

The Profometer PM-650 extends the measuring modes of the Profometer PM-630 with the unique Cross-Line Mode and further analysis functions. The Cross-Line Mode allows users to measure the rebars of the first and second layer typically arranged in a rectangular mesh.
