EddyInspector LX model 5010 - Eddy Current Flaw Detector for Pipe Production Lines
Eddy Current Flaw Detector for Pipe Production Lines
The EddyInspector LX model 5010 is an eddy current flaw detector developed specifically for production lines for long products such as steel pipes and wire rods. External control capabilities required for inspecting long products are all built into a single body. The detector can fit into a 19-inch rack, making it an ideal upgrade from an analog flaw detector.
Main Features
- A 10.4-inch TFT color LCD touchscreen
-
The EddyInspector LX model 5010 employs a TFT color LCD that is easy to read even in bright light. The large 10.4-inch LCD has large setup buttons, offering superior field operability. In addition, the detector has no physical switches, eliminating the need to worry about poor switch contact due to degradation over time.
- Signal processing functions
-
Rejection (gate mode) and peak-hold functions are included as standard.
These functions make pass/fail evaluation easier and allow a recorder to print analog signals simply according to on-site needs.
- Calibration function
-
The detector can automatically adjust sensitivity and phase. By passing a sample for calibration through a test coil, the operator can have the detector automatically adjust the peaks of the resulting defect signal to the preconfigured amplitude and phase settings. This function makes it simple to set up parameters.
- A wealth of evaluation capabilities
-
The detector allows the operator to set rejection thresholds for "square-zone evaluation" (two types) and "circular-zone evaluation" (one type), and is equipped with mutually independent I/O ports for the different types of evaluation. This feature makes it possible to set complicated evaluation thresholds.
- Capable of storing up to 500 parameter setups
-
The detector can store up to 500 parameter setups. Individual parameter setups can be named (using alphanumeric characters and symbols) and easily listed, selected, or deleted. Also, parameter setups can be backed up and restored using the included PC software.
- Control inputs and outputs
-
- Single- and dual-channel types available
- You can choose a single- or dual-channel type to suit your needs.
