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.
Permeability Measurement of Non-Magnetic Steels for Reducing Heat Loss in High-Power Magnetic Systems
Incorrect permeability of non-magnetic steels can cause increased energy losses in magnetic systems. Permeability measurement with MAGNETOSCOP reliably identifies suitable materials.
Bottom bracket shaft test for e-bike torque sensors
Defective bottom bracket shafts can impair the measurement accuracy of e-bike torque sensors. Magneto-inductive structure and crack testing with MAGNATEST D reliably inspects the shafts.
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.
UCI Hardness Testing of Weld Seams on Pipes and Boilers
Hardness peaks in weld HAZ raise crack risk in pipes and boilers. SONODUR 3 delivers precise UCI hardness testing directly on-site.
Applying mobile hardness on bearings
Destructive, operator-dependent tests limit 100% bearing inspection. SONODUR 3 enables fast, non-destructive hardness sorting with OK/NOK feedback.
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.
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.
