instrument
available: eddyvisor®SC
The eddy
current test instrument eddyvisor®C is
designed to detect surface-open and close to
surface subsurface defects like cracks and pores
on conductive test parts.
eddyvisor®C
operates according to the fast and clean eddy
current method and is specially designed for
testing of components in a production
environment. The instrument is capable of
detecting surface cracks with a depth of only
0.05 mm on plane or rotation-symmetrical
parts with surface speeds up to 50m/sec scan
speed.
The path from
calibration of eddyvisor®C to test mode
is short and simple. lt is operated via a bright
15" color touch screen with ergonomically
designed user interface. Advanced electronics
enable a hitherto unachievable level of
function. The eddyvisor®C is available in
different versions. The basic version has two
crack test channels (resp. one crack test
channel with lift-off compensation). Up to 16
channels may be provided.
Preventive Multi-Filter
Technology of crack detection:
One or several OK parts are required for
calibration of the eddyvisor®C. In
calibration mode, the crack detection probe is
moved over the area to be tested on the OK part.
Signals
generated by the surface finish are taken over a
large number of band pass filter settings and
are displayed within individual tolerance fields
for each band pass filter.
In test mode,
all parts with signals exceeding the tolerance
fields are sorted out as "NOK". This guarantees
detection of unexpected flaws as well as the
specified flaws. The manual
and time consuming setting to a complex defect
is avoided. Setting is also possible by
semi-skilled personnel. Traditional set up using
a master crack can also be used.
Each crack test
channel is independent. The test results of each
channel are processed and displayed by the
integrated PC. A variety of graphic display
options of the test results are
available, including bargraph, tolerance field,
xy- x(t)- and y(t)-view or C-scan.
The test result
per channel is "good" or "bad". Historical test
results can also be displayed as a histogram.
Lift-off
compensation:
The crack test instrument eddyvisor®C has
lift-off compensation. Special probes are
needed. One lift-off probe requires two crack
test channels. Lift-off compensation
electronically balances changes of crack
sensitivity which occur due to eccentricity or
mechanical tolerances.
Data security:
The eddyvisor®C can internally store up
to 50 part types with the relating settings,
which can be recalled manually or by PLC. All
internally stored data may be transferred to a
PC or
stored on a USB-stick.
Documentation
and data transfer:
The eddyvisor®C is equipped with three
USB 2.0 interfaces (two of them on front) as
well as one Ethernet interface. A standard
printer (USB) can be used for printing the test
result.
Opto-isolated
interface:
An opto-isolated PLC interface with 64 (option
128) inputs and outputs is available to control
automatic test systems.
Probes:
Proven ibg standard and customized probes are
available for all applications.
Case options:
The eddyvisor®C is available as desktop
version eddyvisor®DC (Desktop,
Crack test) or as divided version as
eddyvisor®C (Crack test) consisting of the
operating unit eddyvisor®HMl (Human
Machine Interface) and the measuring unit
eddyvisor®MC.
The
eddyvisor®C (Crack test) may be combined
with the structure test instrument eddyvisor'S
to eddyvisor®SC. Thus crack detection and
structure test are realized in one instrument
simplifying integration in automatic test
systems.
