Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) plays a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and safety of various structures and components across industries. Among the diverse array of NDT techniques, Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) stands out as a reliable method for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. In recent times, there has been a significant advancement in MPI equipment technology, resulting in enhance inspection efficiency and accuracy.
Key Advancements in EECIFLUX MPI Equipment:
1) EECIFLUX SMART DIGITAL CONTROLLER:
Older generation MPI equipment relied on out dated circuits which had scope to result in erroneous magnetising current generation value. EECI’s vast experience in digital electronics was applied to develop a truly digital technology heart for the MPI equipment; the “EECI SMART DIGITAL CONTROLLER model EFUC” offers many features seen for the first time in the field of MPI.
Features:
- “Smart Digital controller” closed loop constant current output. Alarm indication for low current flow. Auto magnetising sequential mode.
- Current assurance with alarm indication.
- MAG / DEMAG selection Function.
- Automatic AC current decay from the set value of current. Within defined time for demag function.
- User friendly keyboard to set the different parameters like, current, mag on time, duty cycle.
- Compact size for mounting on machine panel.
- Autocal (cable compensation) features for prod cable length variation.
- Variable MAG ON time from 0.5 to 2 sec.
- 4 -Digit digital current display.
- Accuracy +/-10% of set value.
- Universal design to adapt to Prod, Mobile or Bench Units functions.
2. EECIFLUX MPI BENCH UNIT WITH SMART DIGITAL CONTROLLER:
Horizontal Bench Unit is used to generate powerful field of magnetism to test different sorts of machine parts. Notable for its compact shape, this machine can be easily integrate with different testing environments.
Magnetic particle inspection is important to the quality of the finished product and finding defects as early as possible in manufacturing, to avoid wasting machining and processing time of defective material.
The equipment is capable of detect surface & sub-surface defects in ferromagnetic material such as steel and nickel – based alloys.
Advantages:
- Locate defects in any direction using head stock, central conductor, and Coil. (Circular & longitudinal magnetization)
- Infinitely variable current control.
- easily integrate with different testing environments.
- Assure testing accuracy and repeatability with direct amperage control & fluctuation mitigation.
- EECI MPI Bench unit can be customized to meet industrial application needs.
3. EECIFLUX MOBILE POWER UNIT WITH SMART DIGITAL CONTROLLER:
Some parts for magnetization cannot be moved so the magnetization station needs to be brought to the part. The “EFD series” offers a solution by providing an adaptable mobile unit. These units features AC or Half wave DC output.
Advantages:
- Ability to easily move the unit to the part for inspection.
- Assure testing accuracy and repeatability with direct amperage control and fluctuation mitigation.
- Convenient space is provided on the top of machine to wrap cables after use,saves space as well as keeps cables lasting longer without being
- dragged along the floor when moved.
EECI’s continuous evolution in Magnetic Particle Inspection equipment signifies a significant leap forward in the field of Non-Destructive Testing. These advancements not only improve the accuracy and reliability of inspections but also contribute to the overall efficiency of quality control processes in various industries.
