Eddy current flaw detector

Olympus propels eddy current technology into uncharted territory in the aerospace industry, with an innovative surface crack detection solution for lap-splice inspection. The structure of an aircraft contains thousands of fasteners, so ensuring their integrity can be an arduous process. Conventional inspection techniques are typically very time consuming and the probability of detection is highly dependant on operator skill. Nevertheless, for over a decade the technology has remained relatively stagnant ... until now.

Using eddy current array considerably reduces the duration of an inspection, and detection probability is increased. This solution not only saves man-hours, but its streamlined inspection process helps minimize the possibility for error.

Features

Time-savings: up to ten times faster than EC pencil probe inspection, and up to 15 times faster than PT inspection.
Avoids paint removal; faster and more streamlined process.
Probe positioning not as critical as pencil probes or sliding probes.
Omnidirectional detection.
Great reproducibility.
Already integrated into Boeing inspection procedures (757 Part 6 53-30-12).
Intuitive and easy-to-read imagery.
Data recording for professional reports.
Replaces magneto-optical imaging (MOI).
