MAGNETIZING UNITS
This inspection by magnetic saturation and
encircling coils allows the detection of short
and transverse flaws on ferromagnetic
materials (either on surface or sub surface).
Magnetic saturation is necessary to get rid of the impact a changing
material permeability has on the signal.

The opening version allows in-line or off-line inspection without having to

stop or cut a continuous product (available for ø 5 to 55 mm or 3/16 to 2”).

MAIN ADVANTAGES
Quick and easy change of inserts and guide sleeves
7 sizes available, for diameters 0,2 to 230mm (0.008 to 9”)

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The product moves in translation through the magnetizing
unit. It is magnetically saturated to allow the encircling
coil inspection (located at the center of the unit).

This technique allows the control of bars, tubes or wire with a round, square or hexagonal
cross-section. Several angular sectors can be inspected with specific windings. The presence of a
short or transverse defect will change the coil’s impedance.
The result are displayed on the instrument screen, in a timebase and/or a lissajous figure.
The addition of a downstream demagnetizing unit is sometimes necessary to desaturate the
material after inspection.

RAIL INSPECTION PROBES
The rail inspection can be done during the manufacturing (in-line), or
after installation, meaning directly on the railway thanks to an onboard
system.

RAIL INSPECTION ON PRODUCTION LINE

Here are some examples of Eddy Current testing performed in-line for rail profiles P50, P65, PK50, PK65, OP 50
and OP65 according to international standards (ASTM, API, DIN, SEP, EN 15548-1 and others).

Several rotating probes are placed around the rail in order to inspect its critical surfaces. Sectorial probes can
be added to control areas that are not covered already (rail ends for example). Each rotating instrument is
paired with a Zet@ Master generator.
An electronic system has been designed to compensate, for the distance variation between the rail and the
Eddy Current rotating probe. This non-linear gain is automatically and constantly applied to each channel of
the probe according to their position. These equipment probes can work at a very high speed
(up to 10 000 RPM).

 RAIL CONTROL IN OPERATION (ON RAILWAY)
Eddy Current testing on railway is more focused on the tread to detect fatigue
defects such as head check, cracks or squat.

Several kind of control can be implemented :

Eddy Current rotating probes :

For this equipment, Controle Mesure Systemes

received the Deutsche Bahn certification.

Eddy Current sectorial probes :

Ultrasonic probes :
For internal defects detection on the railway, we combine several technologies such as single element
transducers with conventional electronic or multi elements probes with Phased Array electronic depending on
the required pace.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Ultrasonic transducers are rotating in immersion at a very
high speed around a controlled product (tube, bar...). This
latter moves in translation through RotoUTscan rotating
head.
The combination of transducers rotation and product
translation results in an inspection with an helical pitch.
The transducers are adjustable in height and can be
extremely precisely rotated around three axes.
The transmission of the injection and reception signals
between rotor and stator is contactless (i.e. between the
fixed and the rotating part).
The collected signal is processed in real time and compared
with the alarm thresholds defined in the supervision software
during the calibration. 44

IN-LINE AUTOMATIC WELD CONTROL
After the welding station and before any shaping or further processing
of the tube, we can perform an Ultrasonic inspection with a focus on the
weld area to detect defects as soon as possible.
This application is often used for the in-line weld inspection of Electrical Resistance Welded tubes
(ERW).
The control station is installed right after the longitudinal welding of the tube and before any
shaping and cutting. It allows the detection of internal and external, longitudinal and transverse
defects, as well as lamination defects in the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) on both sides of the weld.
It also measures the weld thickness.

For in-line weld inspection, several configurations are possible on diameters from 80 to 600mm
(3.2 to 23.6”) and a minimum thickness of 2mm (0.08”).

MAIN ADVANTAGES
High inspection speed (up to 1.5m/s)

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Ultrasonic inspection with a moving testing bridge:
The tube is conveyed and stopped on the roller track
beneath the testing bridge, and put into rotation.
The cylindrical Phased Array probes are then placed
over the tube. The control elements are all
independent and have their own compliance systems
to ensure optimal monitoring of the tube.
The inspection trolley travels the surface and controls
the product with a helical pitch.

Ultrasonic inspection with a moving tube (rotation

Example of a bench with
roto-translation tube
and translation): The tube is conveyed while
rotating thanks to the bench pinch-rolls. When it
reaches the middle of the bench, several control
devices are clamped under the tube and inspect it.
The different Phased Array transducers are located in
different control tanks, moving independently
(they have their own degrees of liberty), guaranteeing
a 100% inspection of the tube.

collects information from the Eddy
Current inspection equipment in order
to create complete reports.

The Production software is used in Non-destructive Testing applications and particularly for the
control of tubes, bars, wires, and individual parts.

It displays the Eddy Current signals, processes the resulting data, creates and records individual
and/or batch inspection reports, and productivity statistics.

Customized reports can then be used as proof of control by quality departments and customers.
Production information (customer name, order, batch, casting, operator...) can be integrated into
it.

MAIN ADVANTAGES

61
PROBUS SUPERVISION
Supervision software used in Non-Destructive Testing applications,
particularly for inspection of tubes, bars and wires on a production line.

Its goal is to collect measures on various Non-destructive Testing elements, to display and to
analyze the signals, to make a sorting decision and to produce inspection reports.

Probus is the decision making element of the testing bench. It centralizes all the sensors data and
controls the actuators present on the line. The software communicates directly with the automation
of the control bench, as a Human Machine Interface (HMI).

It creates inspection reports for each product or batch. These reports can be used as proof of
control by quality departments and by customers.

MAIN ADVANTAGES
Handles Eddy Current systems for the detection of surface defects
Customizable configuration : management of several NDT elements
Inspection reports by product and/or batch displaying the signals of every channels, and listing the detected
defects with their locations
Network connection for remote assistance
Allows to meet the requirement of international standards (ASTM, API, DIN, SEP…)
Allows a fully automated control with the supervision of all parts of every production line element and
interfacing with a factory L3

62
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
During the control of a product, the Probus supervisor collects in real time the signals from the
sensors and transducers of all the NDT elements. These signals are displayed as strip charts,
representing every channel or each sensor/transducer (which can be grouped by control
elements).

Conformity thresholds (alarms) are set up for each channel. The value of every point of the strip
charts is compared with its corresponding predefined threshold. When a signal triggers the alarm,
an action is defined (marking of the part, good/bad sorting...).

At the end of the inspection, Probus creates a report (either by product and/or by batch) including
the list of controls and their charts, the main parameters of the inspection and the line, the good/
bad status of the product, the list of detected defects and their locations, as well as several
customizable fields for the operator.

Product report Batch report

The supervision software is also able to interact with the line and the control bench via a
dedicated communication. This allows to recover and display real-time data, but also to send in-
structions (speeds, encoders...) to manage alarms and finally to drive the actuators (motors, pumps,
good/bad sorting...).

Probus handles, the management of the standards giving the possibility to record the location of
calibrated defects. In a later time, an operator can select the standard to use, and Probus will
automatically detect and analyze the defects during the calibration run. A repeatability program
allows to check the measurements dispersion of all the control stations during a pre-selected
number of successive runs.
The statistical data of the dispersion during these runs, as well as their records, are saved in a table
that can be exported in csv format.

The various configurations of Probus make it a very powerful tool to manage the beginning/end of
inspections, the dead zones, the defects locations, and the follow-up of the production.
The extensive number of data gathered by Probus makes it essential for a smooth remote support, if
ever needed.

Probus is in permanent evolution with functions and performances constantly improving.

INSPECTION BY INTERNAL PROBE

SWIMMER POSITION CONTROL

68
 ZHEIS Many other software
solutions are available !

ZHEIS (Zet@ Heat Exchanger Inspection Software) is a

software dedicated to the inspection of steam exchanger
tubes with Eddy Current internal probe.

Its simple interface makes it possible to generate the

topography of the exchanger by automatically adding
and positioning a list of tubes to be controlled. They are
then sorted in several categories according to the
inspection result (detection of deterioration, importance
or depth of the damage...)

At the end of the series of tests, ZHEIS generates an

inspection report quickly highlighting the results, showing
which tube will need maintenance on thanks to a color
code.

INTERNAL PROBE INSPECTION SOFTWARE

The software is designed for internal tube inspection,
using an additional mathematical channel created
from frequency combinations.

It can be used in conventional Eddy Current of Remote

Field inspections.

Coupled with the ZHEIS software, it allows complete

control over the steam exchanger tube, masking the
support plate signals and focusing on the defects
detection.

SWIMMER POSITION CONTROL

This software is designed to detect, and if necessary to
correct the position of a swimmer inside a seamless double
wall tube using Eddy Current testing.

This application has been developed specifically for an

automotive braking system.
