QA BeamChecker™ Plus Overview

Automatic Energy Detection

Measure energies in any order and automatically detect energy type, begin measurement, apply corrections and display results.
Data is automatically saved and the device readies itself for the next energy within 10 seconds for the fastest QA on the market.

Software-Free Operation

Does not need to be controlled via PC, allowing for immediate pass/fail results.
No cables, no wires, no hassles.
Download data later allowing for easy trending and reporting.

Wireless Operation
