The main features of the microprocessor-controlled eddy-current module DEFECTOMAT ECM are its simple controls, its one-dimensional signal display with an LED bargraph and the ability to classify the tested parts. This extremely priceworthy unit is equipped with all basic functions for simple testing of semi-finished products. For more demanding requirements, such as improved ease of use, signal display and result presentation, the eddy-current module can connected to a PC on which the related software „eddy Win" runs. This permits economical implementation of applications with direct connections to SPC and CAQ networks.

Characteristic features
• Fixed testing frequency, selected by means of plug-in modules
• Tailor-made for standalone and work-together solutions
• Vector evaluation
• PC interface to the evalua tion program "eddy Win".
• Particularly suitable for simple integration into existing control cabinets
• Interface for output of important control signals to the testing line

As a small and compact testing system, the new DEFECTOMAT CP combines the important advantages of the latest microprocessor technology for documentation with interfaces for the sensors and actuators, with respect to conveying speed, on-line control of defect marking, sorting and saw function.

Characteristic features
It offers the user a wide range of advantages:
• Built-in interfaces enable direct integration in the production line
• Simple and safe operator guidance by on-screen dialogue using the latest window technology
• Quick and reliable determination of the optimum equipment settings
• Simultaneous differential and absolute testing
• Separate signal evaluation according to defect size
• Defect marking in two classes
• Sorting into three categories
• Internal memory to archive equipment settings
• Built-in printer and computer interfaces

With only the most essential functions for standard test jobs but still incorporating all the main advantages of computer-based test technology, the DEFECTOMAT CE is a modern aid for mastering the majority of test tasks in the semi-finished products industry.

The advantages of modern microcomputer technology combined with a particularly good equipment price make the DEFECTOMAT CE an attractive alternative.

Characteristic features
• Modular design
• Controller as the central operating and display unit
• Programs for piece testing, continuous testing with/without cutting to length and for wire testing
• Dialogue-based equipment settings with operator guidance and automatic reproduction of the stored settings
• Problem-oriented evaluation of the test signal
• Test signal analysis by an instantaneous-value discriminator
• Evaluation of the Y-component, amplitude and amplitude/angel
• Single-channel testing
• Graphic and numerical presentation of the results
• Built-in interface for logging
• Can be expanded with the aid of supplementary modules: Absolute-channel, FERROMAT channel.

The computer-aided DEFECTOMAT CS meets all the main requirements imposed with regard to automated testing in conjunction with modern quality control.

The range of applications for which this eddy current tester can be used is larger than that of the DEFECTOMAT CE thanks to its two-channel test capability and comprehensive signal analysis.

Characteristic features

Essentially the same as those of the DEFECTOMAT CE, plus the following (optional):
• Two-channel testing
• Test signal analysis by a maximum-value discriminator
• Presentation of stylized flaw signals
• Integrated test signal memory
• Special function module „Wire" for testing of hot drawn wires
• Special function module „Filament" for testing of lamp filaments.

The requirements imposed for efficient production quality control in conjunction with product liability are met by the DEFECTOMAT S eddy current system with its enhanced test reliability and improved test results.

This test system can be optimally adapted to the test job and production conditions.

It can be combined with other test units, such as the CIRCOGRAPH®, to produce individual test systems with an excellent price/performance ratio for handling complex tasks.

Characteristic features
• System unit in a cabinet
• Various configuration levels
• Multi-channel testing
• One or two-frequency operation
• Installation of peripherals, such as printers, plotters
• Cabinet can also accommodate heat exchanger and air-conditioner
• Can be combined with an additional test unit.
The other functions are essentially the same as those of the DEFECTOMAT CS and CE units.
