ArboRadix™

Tree root / root-plate detection

rinntech arbotom

Define the extent and location of a root system.

Used in conjunction with the Arbotom® ABT05-S package, the ArboRadix™ sensor allows the user to map roots. An additional sensor, connected to a steel pole, is placed on the ground in a measured grid pattern, and tapped. The stress wave signal is sent back to other sensors already attached to the tree. When roots are present the signal transmits rapidly along the roots, creating a pathway that can be mapped to define the extent and location of the root system.

By mapping out the stress wave patterns from a comprehensive grid pattern, the root locations can be defined. This is useful as a means of knowing where roots are likely to be located under roads, sidewalks or other coverings not easily removed beforehand.

The Arboradix attachment and software is available as an add on to existing Arbotom kits, or is included in the 24 sensor ABTO5-Scientific kit.

Fast and easy positioning of root sensor through quick buttons for changing root measurement distances.

Roots with diameter of down to 2cm in a depth of down to 50cm detectable.

Overall-stress wave speed from pin to sensor ranges from approx. 100 to 500m/s.

Arbotom® sensors on stem base of tree react when mechanical impulse arrives.

Line-graphs indicate major root area and extension/distance of major roots from stem base.

The Word Resistograph

The U.S. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), in late October 2019, dismissed the petition of IML Instrument Mechanic Labor, Inc. for cancellation of the RESISTOGRAPH® trademark in the USA “with prejudice”. This means that the RESISTOGRAPH® trademark continues to be an exclusive trademark belonging to Frank Rinn, the inventor of the term (“RESISTOGRAPH”) for his inventive high resolution resistance drilling devices. Frank Rinn has been developing these high quality machines in Germany since 1986 and his RESISTOGRAPH® trademark is registered in approximately 40 countries. Only machines made by Rinntech are the original Resistograph® devices and entitled to use the Resistograph® trademark. Only data collected with a machine made by Rinntech provide Resistograph® data.
