Arbotrom® – 3D Impulstomograph
Non-destructive inspection of the inner conditions of trees
The ARBOTOM® Tree Tomograph is an instrument for tree risk assessment and wood quality evaluation. It provides an impression of the inner condition of a tree in very little time. If used in combination with the new ARBORADIX™ it can even detect roots below pavement.
Stress waves travel through sound wood faster than through damaged wood. Sensors around the tree measure the time it takes an impulse to travel through the wood and reach the other sensors. The collected data is simultaneously send to a computer which will turn the data into a colored image of the tree’s cross-section.
The ARBOTOM® is fast and easy to handle: Setting up the system and measuring a full cross-section takes no more then 15-30 minutes. The tomograph image will show up immediately. If testing is done in different heights, a 3-D image can be created. ARBOTOM® is non-destructive: Sensor pins are driven only a few millimeters into the wood. A variable number of sensors can be attached to the system, starting with 6 or 8 Sensors for 2D images of small cross-section and up to 24 to create a 3D Image of bigger stems.
The ARBOTOM® software completely documents all measured data, giving a chance to sort out single measurements, if needed.
