To detect defects in material or microstructure of conductive parts it makes perfect sense to use an eddy current inspection device. Eddy current will recognize a multitude of unwanted surface conditions and defects, such as fissures, dents, nitrided case thickness, or foreign material inclusions. It is further employed to identify hardened or tempered parts and sort out parts that are not hardened or insufficiently tempered. By inspecting the part’s microstructure one can also identify different alloys and distinguish between half-finished and finished products.
In co-operation with our partner GOLLUB Werkstoffprüfung GmbH & Co.KG and the eddy current inspection devices made by Rohmann GmbH (Frankenthal, Germany), NELA now presents a solution to fully integrate eddy current inspection into our optical inspection and sorting systems. Your big advantage in the quality assurance process: the combination of eddy current inspection and NELA sensor units for surface inspection and geometrical measurement in one system provides a 100% inspection that is completely non-destructive and boosts your productivity. The results of the eddy current inspection are transferred automatically to our VisionCheck image processing software and are also included into the statistical analysis of the inspection.
NELA will present the fully integrated eddy current inspection for the first time at Control 2017 – we invite you to visit us in Hall 6 at booth no. 6319!
