Rotoprobe-EX

Rotoprobe-EX is a multi-frequency Rotating Probe eddy current system for testing bars and seamless tubes.

Advanced rotating probe eddy current system for detection of longitudinal defects on bright or black bars, seamless tubes and wire rods

Overview

Rotoprobe-EX is a fifth generation rotating probe eddy current inspection system that keeps you connected no matter where you might be in the world. You can connect to it from intranet or internet and view test signals and results in real time. It can even send you emails at your scheduled times with all test data, statistics and error conditions. The system also supports remote diagnostics over TCP/IP.

Applications

  • Rotoprobe-EX can detect longitudinal surface defects on ferromagnetic, non-ferromagnetic as well as austenitic bars, seamless tubes and wires.
  • The system can be used in Offline, Inline and Spool-to-spool configurations. Digital signal processing techniques result in excellent signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Longitudinal defects as shallow as 30 microns can be detected, depending upon the surface condition of the material under test.
  • Additional channels for encircling coil inspection or material sorting are also available.

Features

  • Unique automatic gap compensation algorithms correct for any signal variation due to eccentricity of bars etc.
  • Optional Additional Encircling Channel
  • Optional Additional Grade Sorter Channel
  • Three Evaluation Modes
  • Variable test frequency
  • Automatic Setup
  • Windows Professional operating system
  • Online manual and context sensitive help
  • Extensive Data logging and reporting
  • TCP/IP servers over Ethernet
  • All data is logged to a Hard Disk.
  • Test reports can be generated in Microsoft Excel format.
