Proceq – History of Innovation since 1954
Proceq SA of Switzerland, founded in 1954, is a leading manufacturer of the highest quality portable instruments for non-destructive testing of materials. The ubiquitous Original
Schmidt concrete test hammer and the patented SilverSchmidt
(Q-value) are just an excerpt of Proceq’s proud inventions.
Industry Standard Pundit
Pundit is a de facto industry standard brand and widely recognized as the first commercial field (on-site) device to measure Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity. Proceq acquired Pundit in
2009 and later launched the popular Pundit Lab and Pundit Lab+.
New Pundit Touchscreen
The Pundit PL-200 and Pundit PL-200PE continue the illustrious Pundit tradition that began in the 1970s. They are the first Proceq products to be developed using a new generation and design-protected Touchscreen Unit.

ULTRASONIC PULSE ECHO
Pundit PL-200PE – Groundbreaking
Ultrasonic Pulse Echo Testing
The Pulse Echo technology widely extends the application range of the Pundit Touchscreen Unit and offers a variety of special features:
Single side determination of slab thickness
Detection and localization of voids, pipes, cracks
(parallel to surface) and honeycombing
Advanced echo tracking technology helps identifying the main echo
Control buttons and optical feedback directly on the probe increase measurement efficiency
Automatic estimation of the Pulse Velocity
Scan Modes
A-Scan
» A-Scan allows direct analysis of the raw signal.
» Digital filters for better echo visibility and noise suppression.
» Automatic readout of slab thickness (Echo tracker).
B-Scan
» A cross-sectional view perpendicular to the scanning surface is provided. It facilitates the search for pipes, cracks, voids, etc.
» State-of-the-art image processing for improved image quality.
» Cursor placement allows a direct readout of the slab thickness and the location of hidden objects or defects.
