The WC-9 from Western Instruments is a compact and portable magnetic particle yoke, built on the advanced WC series platform. This yoke combines durability, ergonomics and high operator mobility, and is designed for efficient inspection even in confined spaces.

🔧 Key Features and Benefits

• Compact design fits in tight spaces and provides greater visibility of the workpiece.

• Ergonomically designed, lightweight housing reduces operator fatigue and strain.

• Urethane rubber housing for superior durability in harsh environments.

• Advanced mechanical, electrical and solid-state electronics for reliable operation.

• Uses standard low-profile sealed membrane actuation switches for increased safety.

• Compatible with Universal Articulating Pole Pieces for flexible workpiece configuration.

• Pulsating DC fields (125 Hz) provide better particle mobility than full-wave DC fields.

• Suitable for use in Class I, Division 2 environments.

🧪 Technical specifications

• Battery : 13.2 V, 1.5 Ah, provides approximately 2 hours of continuous operation.

• Power consumption : 0.5 A.

• Lifting capacity : 50 lbs (23 kg) for DC yokes.

• Weight : Light and compact (ergonomic design for operator comfort).

• Pulsing DC field : 125 Hz for optimal particle mobility.

• Build quality : Rugged urethane rubber housing, withstands harsh industrial environments.
