Crack detection of ring magnet for motor rotor by eddy current testing
Cracks in ring magnets can cause imbalance, vibration and motor failure. Eddy current testing detects defects reliably before magnetization.
Crack Testing of Weld Seams on High-Voltage Power Lines
Cracks or weld defects can compromise high-voltage cable reliability. Eddy current testing reliably detects weld seam defects during production.
Automatic crack inspection of sintered gear components
Complex geometries make crack detection on sintered gears difficult. Robotic eddy current testing with STATOGRAPH reliably detects surface defects.
Automated 100% Crack Testing of Wheel Hubs
Surface cracks in wheel hubs threaten torque transfer and safety. Eddy current testing with STATOGRAPH ensures seamless inline inspection.
Bearing Ball Quality Control by Eddy Current Testing
Defective bearing balls can cause increased wear and bearing failures. Eddy current testing reliably and non-destructively checks the balls before installation.
Testing the Purity of Copper by Conductivity Measurement
Impurities in copper can reduce electrical conductivity and component performance. Conductivity measurement with SIGMATEST quickly and reliably tests purity.
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.
Sorting of alloys and pure non-ferrous metals by conductivity measurement
Visual inspection can't reliably identify scrap alloys, lab tests are too slow. SIGMATEST enables fast on-site sorting by conductivity.
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.
Testing of heat-affected zones through conductivity measurement on aircraft structures
Heat-affected zones (HAZ) can weaken aircraft aluminum without visible damage. SIGMATEST detects conductivity changes fast and non-destructively.
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.
Composite pressure vessel crack detection by eddy current testing
Cracks in aluminum liners of composite pressure vessels risk leakage. STATOGRAPH eddy current testing detects defects precisely and reliably.
