Quality Inspection on Wire Lines

Contrôle Mesure Systèmes will exhibit at Iran Wire 2017 in Tehran , from 6 to 9 December on Stand A6B2 . Specialist for nearly 30 years in nondestructive testing methods , we will take this opportunity to present our large range of NDT equipments , especially for wire inspection , on or off line , in ferrous or nonferrous metal .
Illustrations below show 2 examples of wire inspection installed :
• eddy current rotating head , RotoETscan HV , suitable for line drawing inspection for a diameter range of 0,8 to 10 mm . : This system , easy to install on the production line , integrates a turntable ( cassette ) adapted to the product diameter . Eddy current probes ( 2 or 4 ) installed inside the cassette , rotate at high speed ( 18000RPM ) around the wire , while the product translate into the rotating head . The nozzles , inside the system , ensure proper centering of the wire during inspection . Connected to our EC instrument Zet @ Master , it detects longitudinal defects > 50μm on the product , but can also be combined with other CMS equipments such as magnetizing or demagnetizing units for a complete product inspection .
• eddy current system for aluminium wire inspection allowing detection of defects such as cracks , holes …. at high speed ( 1500-2000 m / min for example depending of the diameter range to inspect ). The wire is guided and passes through an eddy current system composed by a support coil mounted in a support table with guide rollers assuring a good entrance of the product . A special encircling coil , located in the support , allows the detection of cracks at the surface of the product . Eddy current testing is performed by Zet @ premium instrument dual channels . When a defect or an inclusion is detected , the system activates a line shutdown , marker , visual alarm , saw or some other outputs . An encoder installed on the line allows precise location of defects in a customized report .
