Company Announcement - Get a clear picture with the Hilti PS 1000 X-Scan detection system. With its ability to provide clear, 2D or 3D images of virtually all kinds of objects concealed in concrete structures. Hilti’s easy-to-use PS 1000 X-Scan system takes the non-destructive inspection of concrete structures into a new era.

This detection system from Hilti employs the pulse radar principle and can thus locate various types of objects, even throughout several layers.

Hilti PS 1000 X-Scan is designed to produce large-area images of what’s inside concrete structures.

The system consists of:
• A hand-guided scanner with color display
• A portable monitor unit for on-site use
• Plus professional PC software for image evaluation and data management.

Capable of detecting:
• Steel reinforcing bars
• Locates pre- and post-tensioning tendons
• Metal or plastic pipes
• Electric cables
• Glass fiber cables and cavities – at depths of up to 300 mm and even where layers overlap.

Immediate analysis of the scans is possible as the objects are shown in 2D plan views or cross sectional views directly on the X-Scan display. With the aid of the PSA 100 monitor, scans of objects can be shown as 3D images for even easier on-the-spot interpretation. This makes it easy to find and mark reliable drilling locations and thus avoid costly damage and lost time due to hitting rebars, pipes or cables. The position of reinforcing bars, baskets and tensioning tendons can also be easily found and marked immediately or, alternatively, the data can be recorded for precise analysis and archival back in the office.
Always reliable – thanks to the Hilti Calibration Service

Despite their rugged design, Hilti measuring tools, like all other precision instruments may, sooner or later, suffer adverse effects under hard everyday use, through differences in storage conditions or other external influences. But thanks to the Hilti Calibration Service, professionals in the construction industry can always rely on their Hilti measuring tools. Regular checking within the scope of this service ensures reliability and accuracy in accordance with standards and statutory requirements.

Under normal use, Hilti recommends that calibration is checked annually. The tools will be readjusted if any inaccuracy is found, so you can continue to work as accurately and reliably as ever.
