Hardness measurement on sheet metal with SONODUR
Thin sheets vibrate during testing, risking deformation or damage. SONODUR 3 enables non-destructive UCI hardness testing with tailored probes.
Applying UCI Mobile Hardness Testing on Ceramics
Ceramic components risk cracking with conventional hardness testing. SONODUR 3 enables fast, non-destructive UCI testing without surface damage.
Quality control of aluminum alloys by measuring conductivity
Conventional hardness tests for aluminum alloys are destructive or slow. SIGMATEST enables fast, non-destructive conductivity measurement.
Fully Automated Eddy Current Crack Testing System for Shock and Strut Rods
Cracks in shock and strut rods can cause chassis failure while driving. A fully automated eddy current system with ROTO-PUSH and STATOGRAPH reliably detects such cracks.
Checking for the aging condition of aluminum components like wishbones
Aging condition of aluminum wishbones is hard to detect visually or chemically. SIGMATEST correlates conductivity with aging time reliably.
Hardness, tensile strength and foreign material inspection of forged products
Faulty heat treatment or material mix-ups in forged parts stay invisible. MAGNATEST enables non-destructive 100% inspection of hardness and strength.
Automated eddy current crack detection on pressure vessels
Thinner walls in pressure vessels increase crack risk and failure danger. STATOGRAPH CM+ enables automated, reliable inline crack detection.
Quality Contorl in Powder Metallurgy for Reliable Components
Powder or sintering variations in PM parts can compromise mechanical properties. MAGNATEST enables fast, non-destructive 100% inspection.
High-Speed Inspection System for Needle Bearing Rollers
Verifying heat treatment of tiny needle rollers at high speed is demanding. MAGNATEST enables precise, automated inspection and sorting.
Inspection System for Cylindrical Rods
Combining crack detection, structure testing and gauging in one process is demanding. STATOGRAPH and MAGNATEST enable integrated inline inspection.
Sintered Metal Valve Guide Inspection System
Sintered valve guides risk longitudinal cracks from die separation stress. STATOGRAPH enables reliable crack detection at up to 10 parts/second.
Automated Material Mix-Up Detection of Bearing Balls
Material mix-ups in bearing balls can compromise the reliability of the entire bearing. MAGNATEST detects deviations within milliseconds, enabling reliable 100% inspection.
