For producers of hot rolled material, EddyTech Systems offers a comprehensive inspection system that helps minimize the production of poor quality due to process malfunctions by giving a detailed real-time overview of the production trend. Periodic defects caused by damaged rollers are recognized and the damaged component may be identified, given all of the necessary data. Also, Eddychek 5 alerts you to potential problems with the process or billet quality when the sensors identify a rise in random material and process defects. When networked to a central control panel, the testing system can be operated entirely by remote control: test parameters are prepared in advance and downloaded for each coil or batch when needed. The system consists of the Eddychek 5 eddy current tester, the optional Eddytrend trend analysis software, and a water-cooled, robust test coil and holder.
Manufacturers of hot rolled bar and rod struggle not only with randomly distributed flaws in the finished products but also with defective rollers that lead to repetitive defects. Our hot rod inspection system addresses both of these concerns. Firstly, the quality of the rod or bar is evaluated and assigned to the respective quality class which can be configured. Secondly, you can pinpoint damaged roller elements in the production line that cause periodic defects, provided you have the necessary roller data. The Eddytrend software displays the last four coils to let you identify quality trends early and stop production deterioration before it escalates.
