Engineered from real-world input, the NORTEC™ 700 flaw detector brings new levels of eddy current usability, performance, and affordability within easy reach of more aviation customers, MROs, ISPs, and OEMs than ever before. With the NORTEC 700, conventional eddy current (ECT) and advanced eddy current array (ECA) inspections are now available in one seamless platform, serving a variety of aerospace, defense, industrial, and manufacturing applications.

The lightweight NORTEC 700 flaw detector is available in three operator-friendly models—the N700 (single frequency) provides proven ECT for everyday inspections, the N700D expands versatility with enhanced dual-frequency and bolt-hole capabilities, and the N700i offers both ECT and advanced ECA, and layer detection. Based on the proven NORTEC 600 series, all three models share the same ergonomic design, simplified workflows, and digital ecosystem compatibility, ensuring seamless training and easy fleet standardization.

A new standard in NDT inspection, the NORTEC 700 is an innovative, accessible, unified solution that works the way you work—quickly, , efficiently and reliably. The NORTEC 700 is ideal for surface/subsurface inspection, bolt-hole inspection, conductivity and coating thickness measurement, weld inspection, critical hole inspection, and dual-frequency inspection.

Easy from the Start
The NORTEC 700 is instantly easy to use with a comfortable, lightweight design, streamlined controls, and intuitive interface—helping you work faster, stay focused, and trust every result.

Simplified Navigation Cuts Down on Steps
An evolution of the proven and familiar NORTEC 600 interface, the NORTEC 700 navigation system minimizes the steps needed for successful inspection. Common tasks—such as loading presets, adjusting gain, or reviewing signals—can be completed with fewer key presses and clearer visual cues, accelerating setup and reducing the potential for error. A simplified navigation design also helps lower operator fatigue, improving accuracy and productivity.

Application-Based Intelligent Presets
The NORTEC 700 turns complex inspection setup into a guided, intuitive process with intelligent, application-based presets. Each preset automatically configures key parameters for selected probes and inspection types—bolt hole, rivet line, or surface crack—eliminating guesswork and reducing setup time to seconds.

With preconfigured setups, field crews can start inspections with minimal training, knowing that parameters are already optimized for accuracy and compliance. This built-in intelligence ensures consistency across operators and shifts, enforces compliance, and dramatically reduces the risk of operator error.

All-in-One Capabilities Increase Efficiency
By integrating multiple test capabilities in one unit, the NORTEC 700 enables consistent, high-quality inspections wherever the job demands. There’s no need for separate devices or redundant setup steps, streamlining equipment needs and ensuring operational efficiency.

Single-Unit Versatility = Easier Transitions
The NORTEC 700 delivers the flexibility of multiple instruments in one field-ready design, which means fewer tools to purchase, transport, and maintain, lowering both capital and operational costs. ECT (single- or dual-frequency), conductivity, and bolt-hole (including advanced automatic layer detection or ECA surface/subsurface) inspections can be easily deployed on an aircraft skin, weld seam, or production component—the NORTEC 700 adapts instantly to the application at hand.

Hybrid Hard Key/Touchscreen Controls
The NORTEC 700’s hybrid interface combines the precision of hard keys with the speed of an intuitive touchscreen and a knob that delivers complete control whether you’re wearing gloves, working outdoors, or adjusting parameters mid-inspection.

Navigate menus, set up inspections, and fine-tune signals with minimal effort using either the responsive touch display or tactile keys. And with the ability to lock the touchscreen when needed, you can work in any condition with no compromise in accuracy or speed.

Lightweight Portability for Easy Setup and Transport
At 3.95 lbs. (1.79kg) in a compact, user-friendly design, the NORTEC 700 delivers a new standard in portability and comfort while reducing operator strain and ergonomic constraints.

The NORTEC 700 is easy to carry, hold, and use, minimizing fatigue during long shifts and allowing safe, comfortable operation on ladders, ramps, inside confined structures, or on overhead, vertical, or fuselage scans. Faster setups, quicker transport, and simplified mounting and repositioning.

Enhanced Ergonomics for Maximum User Comfort
The NORTEC 700’s ergonomic form is purpose-built for real inspection environments—comfortable to hold, balanced in hand, and easy to operate with or without gloves. Every contour, grip surface, and control placement is designed to minimize fatigue during long inspections and ensure confident handling in tight or elevated workspaces, when using personal protective equipment, in dirty environments, or during one-handed operation.

Advanced Inspection Made Accessible
The NORTEC 700 brings advanced eddy current to field crews and inspection management teams of all sizes with a platform that’s powerful, intuitive, and cost-effective. A smart, scalable design delivers exceptional value without adding complexity.

ECT and ECA in One Seamless Platform (N700i)
The N700i combines ECT and ECA inspection in a single platform. Users can transition effortlessly between conventional ECT and advanced ECA modes using the same intuitive interface, preserving setup continuity, and eliminating the need for separate instruments. This integrated approach gives technicians and supervisors a unified, high-performance tool for all eddy current inspections, saving valuable time and money.

Setup ECA as Easily as ECT (N700i)
Using a live-mode impedance plane, the N700i brings imaging-grade ECA into an intuitive, portable form, making setting an ECA probe as straightforward as running conventional ECT. This lowers the skill barrier, expands who can perform advanced inspections, and helps you adopt ECA without any specialized training burdens.

Layer Detection and Freeze Mode (N700i)
Advanced automatic layer detection and Freeze Mode capabilities bring new precision to bolt-hole and multi-layer inspections. Using intelligent signal interpretation, the N700i can accurately distinguish between fastener and backing material layers and genuine defect responses, reducing false calls and minimizing rework.

Eddy Current Imaging More Affordable than Ever
The N700i brings high-end ECA imaging to an entirely new level of affordability, offering imaging-grade flaw visualization, layer detection, and traceable data capture for dramatically less than the cost of comparable ECA systems. With a minimal price gap between the N700D and the N700i, this breakthrough in ECA accessibility allows the standardization of advanced inspection technology once reserved for premium inspection systems. The N700i finally makes high-fidelity imaging more attainable.

Backward and Forward Compatibility
Shared components and backward compatibility with NORTEC 600 probes, batteries, and accessories reduce the need for new tooling and training, protecting existing investments and standardizing equipment across teams. With fewer instruments to maintain and faster setup times, the NORTEC 700 offers measurable value from day one.

The NORTEC 700 supports a wide range of accessories and probes—both legacy NORTEC 600 components and new-generation arrays—ensuring compatibility with future toolsets as technology advances. Expand capabilities over time, whether adding specialized probes or adopting new array technologies.
