Impulse Hammer and Impact Systems for reliable and Early Detection of Internal Defects in Wood

The Impulse Hammer measures the time it takes sound to travel through a tree or timber structure. An impact screw, which sends the sound into the wood, is installed into the tree. A sensor screw, installed on the opposite side, measures the time it takes for the impulse wave to travel from the impact hammer to the receiver. Because wood characteristics differ, travel time varies between tree species. The Electronic Unit of the Impulse Hammer measures and saves the data
which then can be downloaded to the software I-Tools for further analysis.

The Impulse Hammer Localizes:

• Decay within the root area
• Decay in the early stages of growth
• Water Pockets
• Disfigured tree forms
• Wet cores
• Cracks
• Included bark
