Construction Wood Inspection
How sturdy is the wooden construction?
Stable inside, makes the outside safe
The examination of construction timber in timber, bridge and pile dwellings reveals weaknesses and safety risks.
We evaluate the inside of construction wood
Controls of construction wood in timbered houses, bridges and pile dwellings detect weak points and safety risks. Therefore, regular inspections are essential.
The problem:
Most of the defects or damages are located inside of wooden components and it’s necessary to carry out expensive investigations to detect and identify them.
Because of the current development in the field of timber engineering the exact evaluation of the stability of buildings becomes more and more important. Depending on the operational demands on wooden constructions, one has to distinguish between static strength, impact strength, endurance strength, dynamic strength, hardness and resistance to wear.
Therefore, we have developed instruments that examine the interior life of wooden constructions in detail. Our test and measurement systems will provide you reliable and extensive information about the actual condition of the examined timber component in a quick way. Thus they contribute significantly to the general security.

Loading...The wood inspection drill measures the force of the needle turning through the wood product. For example, when the bit hits any soft decay the force on the graph will drop and if the needle hits a hard, brittle decay the graph will spike. If the bit runs through a cavity area the graph will drop measuring no resistance for the bit. The measurements are then collected on either a wax paper strip (F-Series) or electronically recorded for an instant upload (PD-Series).
(+1, 3 Bewertungen)Loading...With the F-Series drill the measurements are recorded on a wax paper strip. Typically users scan the wax paper strip into their report reinforcing their assessment of the wood. The PD-Series drill records the measurements automatically in digital form and can instantly upload these results to your computer via Bluetooth or USB cable. Software is available for your computer to analyze and organize your collected results.

IML-RESI MD300The IML-RESI MD300 is a driling instrument working purely mechanically that does not record a measurement curve, neither electronically nor mechanically. The user feels the result and can read the penetration depth on the 300 mm scale. Often an abrupt and fast penetration is perceptible when the instrument detects a rot zone. Even the annual rings of conifers can be noticed.

IML-RESI F-Series
The IML-RESI F series is driven by an usual drill and is very easy to handle The instrument is cordless and therefore ideal for difficult operating conditions. The measurement profile is recorded simultaneously to the drilling depth on wax paper strip.

We have been cooperating very successfully and quality oriented with IML GmBh for several years. Problems?! There are none, because the team of IML is very friendly and helpful when ordering and in any technical direction to their products. They are up to the smallest detail. Definitely on a level 10 in a rating of 1-10. Thank you very much for the many years of good cooperation.
I previously worked with the IML-RESI B400 for years. This device worked flawlessly, due to the year of manufacture it had a rather Russian design. I am glad to have owned the B400 – so I can enjoy the advantages of years of development for the new PD-400: faster, much lighter, more compact, almost self-explanatory menu and eternally lasting battery! You can tell there’s a lot of attention to pragmatic detail here!
The many years of trustful cooperation in the segment of wood testing systems is of great importance on the part of FA. IML GmbH is characterized by high product quality and product development. In addition, the technical support is traget-oriented (very important for us), which is optimally implemented by the systematic approach of the respective employees. Questions, suggestions and if occurring ‘problems’, are immediately provided with a solution. In short, we feel that we are in “the best of hands”. Many thanks!
