ibg eddyliner S Eddy Current Tester (EDDYLINER-S)

Tolerance Zones

When recording material data, the eddyliner automatically generates elliptical tolerance zones for a reliable test. A tolerance zone editor is integrated for special applications enabling the skilled user to define the zones in rectangular or elliptical form freely.

Harmonic Analysis

In addition to the eight fundamental test frequencies, two harmonics (2nd to 9th harmonic selectable) for each test frequency can be turned on and simultaneously evaluated without increasing the test time.

History

The ibg multi-colored histogram displays the test results of all reference data. The last 100 bad parts and up to 1,000 good parts can be observed at a glance and evaluated later, an essential function when reference parts are first recorded and afterward crosschecked in the laboratory. Questionable NG parts, later found to be good, can be added to the reference parts with one keystroke.

Display

Test results are shown as a bar graph, single ellipse or multiple ellipses, selectable

Coils

A multitude of encircling coils up to a diameter of 500 mm as well as structure test probes are available for standard applications. Customized coils (i.e. ID coils and rectangular coils) for special applications are designed and manufactured in-house. Test coils may be connected either as ibg recommended compensating pair of coils or as self-compensating single coil. Monitoring of coil and cable failure, as well as a 50/60 Hz noise suppression, can be activated.

Activating Test

Start of test can be started manually via touchscreen, via PLC or optional start button. There is an autostart function that detects the part in the test coil and activates testing immediately or after an adjustable delay time.

Test Speed

High-speed testing within milliseconds. Using eight test frequencies, a cycle rate up to seven parts per second with encircling coils and 25 parts with probes can be realized with standard settings.

Part Types

100 part types with all settings and reference data can be stored in the device memory and switched over manually or via PLC for automated processes.

Data Storage and Transfer

Test results, part types and device settings are stored internally on a robust flash memory and can be exported via an USB stick or Ethernet connection. A ring buffer logfile records all actions and allows fast debugging for service purpose.

Automation with PLC

Direct control of sorting devices, paint marking systems or indicating lamps is possible with the integrated 24 V DC (2.5 A) power supply, providing a low-cost solution for small automated systems without an additional PLC.

Remote Control

The eddyliner is remotely operable by every network computer via VNC viewer software.

Access Protection

The instrument provides a multilevel access authorization concept that operates by pin code.

Help Function

The user always has access to a context-sensitive help function on the device screen which often renders a look into the manual unnecessary.

Languages

Included are: German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Czech, Polish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean and Russian. Other languages can be selected as an add-on option.
