The IDX-550 is a rugged, high-precision handheld UV-A lamp designed for non-destructive testing (NDT), specifically for use in both fluorescent penetrant (FPI) and magnetic particle inspection (MPI). It delivers high UV intensity, stable wavelength, and a portable design – suitable for the field and workshop.

Key features and benefits

• Very high UV-A intensity: approximately 9,000 μW/cm² at 38 cm (15″) distance.

• Coverage diameter of approximately 13 cm (5.1″) at the same distance – provides good spread for inspection.

• Instant-on function – the light reaches full strength immediately, useful for quick inspections without warm-up time.

• Anodized aluminum housing that withstands industrial environments and provides a long service life.

• Battery-powered (Li-Ion battery 3.7 V/2600 mAh), with up to approximately 2.5 hours of continuous use between charges.

• Certified according to the ASTM E3022‑18 standard for UV-A lamp use in NDT.

Technical specifications

• Measuring range UV-A: 6W LED, 365 nm wavelength.

• Intensity at 15″ (38 cm): ≈ 9,000 μW/cm².

• Battery type: Li-Ion, 3.7 V/2600 mAh.

• Usage time: approximately 2.5 hours.

• Coverage diameter at 15″: approx. 13 cm.

Areas of application

• Inspection using fluorescent penetrant (FPI) and magnetic powder (MPI) where UV-A illumination is critical.

• Field inspection of components and surfaces where a portable and powerful UV lamp is required.

• Checking indicator devices, leak detection or general visual inspection under UV light.

• Use in production environments, workshops and maintenance work where fast response and durability are important.
