RINNTECH RESISTOGRAPH R650 series
The RESISTOGRAPH® is the world leading technology for tree and timber inspections. The RESISTOGRAPH® is engineered to the highest German standards and can drill through any hardwood timber. The RESISTOGRAPH® is the essential tool for any serious arborist to detect the inner condition of trees or wooden structures.
The RINNTECH RESISTOGRAPH is a resistance drill for the inspection of trees and timber condition. A precision resistance drill, the RINNTECH RESISTOGRAPH matches the feed rate and drilling speed to the actual wood condition.
By matching the drill speed and feed rate, the RINNTECH RESITOGRAPH provides a 1:1 scale printed reading via the included printer of the tree or timber density in realtime. In addition, the use of an Android device, with the RINNTECH app, allows for GPS location data to be included along with the profile. Additionally, the data is stored internally on the RESITOGRAPH for evaluation on a PC with the DECOM software.
These features become an essential tool for professional arborists to detect the inner condition of trees or wooden structures.
There are two models available for Australian, New Zealand and South-East Asia arborists and consultants:
- R650-ED: RESISTOGRAPH Series 6, High Density (tropical) hardwoods Especially suited for examination of extremely dense (tropical) hardwoods
- R650-SC: RESISTOGRAPH Series 6. Scientific 2D/3D research version (24 Sensors) For scientific analysis: maximum possible resolution and precision. Also used for climate change research.  It can be calibrated and used to determine wood density (R2 = 0.96).

Advantages of Resistograph® to competing systems
- Our prices include the complete ready-to-use system with consumables for several thousand measurements, i.e. outdoor case, printer (+thermal paper), drilling needles, etc.
- Efficient work on the tree, direct evaluation of the measurement results on site due to the 1:1 printout much more informative than on a small display – printer is also included in the price
- Simultaneous printout of the measurement results and thus live evaluation possible
- Compact device, 50 cm drilling depth with only 70 cm total length
- Only few buttons for uncomplicated and efficient working
- Low weight of only 4 kg
- Complete one-hand operation possible without any problems
- Data memory for up to 10,000 drillings directly on the device
- All necessary software and consumables for thousands of measurements are included in the price, as well as all accessories
- System that automatically adjusts and converts rpm and feed rate during measurement and requires no manual adjustments
- Fully thermally and electrically insulated plastic housing is much safer and more comfortable than aluminium
- Self-replacement of drilling needle possible on site and by the customer if a drilling needle breaks in the device, tool included
- No automatic decay detection, as this often leads to misinterpretation and wrong measurement results and decisions
- RESISTOGRAPH App for Android
Resistograph Software
Users can download a free mobile app called RESISTOGRAPH® from the Google Play Store. This mobile app provides simultaneous real-time profile display, storage and transmission of data, and (optionally) remote control of the machine. The app also records the GPS location.
DECOMâ„¢
The DECOMâ„¢ software allows you to display trees’ profiles can be displayed on the screen or printed as a graphic chart, and can be processed for your reports. Mathematical and statistical routines are available for scientific applications, such as trend adjustments, tree ring detection, etc.
Applications
- Tree check-ups
- Increment analyses
- Quality assessment of forest trees
- Wood analyses
Benefits
- Online recording of RESISTOGRAPH data
- Graphic representation and post-processing features
- Data analysis
- Manual or automatic tree ring detection
Measurement and analysis (professional version)
- DECOM™ continuously records the RESISTOGRAPH® profiles during measurement.
- You can store additional information in the data header.
- Decay and other wood abnormalities can be specifically highlighted in the profile.
- Pictures can be integrated for a better object documentation.
- The document can be printed.
Tracing the rings tree ring detection (scientific version)
- Tree ring limits are automatically or manually marked by DECOMâ„¢.
- You can calculate the width of the tree rings as well as intra-annual density variables and store them in a format compatible with TSAP-Win™.
Mathematical functions for advanced users (scientific version)
- Using mathematical routines (e.g. trend adjustment, indexing etc.), the profiles can be analysed even more precisely.
- Statistical data can be stored in tables and used by other programs.
