IML-RESI PowerDrill®

Product catalog summary

Overview: The IML-RESI PowerDrill® is a specialized tool for measuring drill resistance and feed force in wood, providing insights into the safety and condition of various wooden structures. It is applicable for trees, wooden poles, bridges, playground equipment, and more.

Key Features:

Measurement Capability: The device uses a fine drilling needle to penetrate wood minimally invasively, recording resistance and feed force relative to penetration depth. It includes a unique 'FEED' curve for enhanced sensitivity, particularly useful for detecting early-stage wood defects like fungi-induced embrittlement.
Applications: Suitable for urban tree safety assessments, utility pole strength evaluation, playground equipment decay diagnosis, structural testing in timber homes, and inspections of bridge pilings and submerged dock pilings.
Technical Specifications: Drill depth ranges from 20 cm to 100 cm, with adjustable speed based on wood density. The device is lightweight, ergonomic, and user-friendly, featuring a digital display for real-time measurement graphs.
Accessories and Customization: Offers optional accessories such as a tilt sensor, scaling package, memory enlargement, and Bluetooth printer. The modular system allows customization to meet specific needs.

Data Management: Measurement data can be transferred to PCs or handheld devices, sorted by ID or tree number, and evaluated using IML software compatible with multiple operating systems. The software allows for detailed analysis and documentation, including marking healthy and defective wood areas in different colors.

Training and Support: IML provides extensive training options, including online videos, seminars, and on-site training, ensuring users are well-prepared to operate the device effectively. The company offers annual inspections, fast customer service, and support for interpreting measurement results.

Company Information: IML is a leading manufacturer of wood diagnostic instruments with over 35 years of experience. The company operates internationally with a vast network of distribution partners and provides reliable, high-quality products made in Germany.
