Advantages
MALÅ High Frequency Antenna Cart
The MALÅ HF Cart is designed for the MALÅ HF Antennas. One wheel is equipped with a pulse encoder for distance triggering.
MALÅ CX Control Unit: Unique for the MALÅ CX System
The MALÅ CX Control Unit is designed for and is unique for the MALÅ CX System. It's an integrated compact GPR control unit that also include a monitor. The MALÅ CX System allows accurate inspection of concrete structure such as floors, walls, balconies, bridge decks etc. and the detection of metallic and non metallic objects and features within, i.e. rebar, post tension cables, metallic/ non-metallic conduits and pipes, voids and the measurement of slab thickness
MALÅ CX System: The #1 Concrete GPR System
The MALÅ CX system allows accurate inspection of concrete structure such as floors, walls, balconies, bridge decks etc. and the detection of metallic and non metallic objects and features within, i.e. rebar, post tension cables, metallic/ non-metallic conduits and pipes, voids and the measurement of slab thickness.
MALÅ CX System: Unique user-friendly software
The software for the MALÅ CX System is available with three different measurement modes; 2D, 3D Grid and Object Mapper- projects, all for different aims, which all together make the flexibility of the system and to a very low cost. The extremely user-friendly software with its simple interface is easily operated by either the popular push-and-turn knob, or by the full remote capabilities with the buttons on the MALÅ HF Antenna.
