Micro Hammer

Micro Hammer for reliable and early detection of internal defects in wood

The Micro Hammer is the ideal measurement instrument for the non-destructive evaluation of internal defects in trees. The Micro Hammer measures the time it takes an impulse to travel through a tree, i.e. between an impact screw and a sensor screw. Due to the characteristic’s speed of sound for each tree specie, the measured values clearly display the inner conditions of the tree.

The Micro Hammer localizes:

  Decay within root areas
  Decay in the early stages of growth
  Water pockets
  Disfigured tree forms
  Wet cores
  Cracks
  Included bark

The new Micro Hammer has a much smaller, more high-sensitive sensor and we are using new attachment method with special screws which minimizes the damage to trees. The integrated Bluetooth module ensures wireless downloads of your measuring data to your laptop or desktop. All components that are used on the Micro Hammer are wind and water resistant and can be used in any weather condition.
