PRUFTECHNIK - EDDYCHEK 605

EDDYCHEK 605 meets well the testing requirements, diverse applications such as pipe production,

Technical Description

  • Powerful eddy current inspection system for advanced quality and process control right on the production line, minimizing production downtime, increasing factory productivity.
  • The menus are clearly structured, easy to understand and intuitive to operate using push buttons.
  • Easy operation with large buttons on high resolution touch screen.
  • Interface with control buttons, adjust the entire system.
  • Up to 5 channels for up to 3 test locations with rich test reporting.
  • Patented, fully digital signal processing for test frequencies from 1 kHz to 1 MHz, adjustable to suit each test application.
  • Operates without air conditioning and does not require a separate room, ambient temperature up to 40 °C.
  • Higher resolution, sensitivity to mark faults (beam or spot depending on speed), reduce false scrap.


 

Applications

Powerful application in checking semi-finished products directly on the production line:

  • Production of steel wire, cable, electric cable, bar, pipe, oil pipe, bar, wire, steel cable, electric cable, cable sheath, extrusion products (pipe roll forming, pipe mill, tractor).
