Eddy current probe

for surface inspectioncrack detectionstainless steel

Pencil surface probes are equipped with an adjustable collar that helps to achieve the optimal angle for inspection and ensures greater stability. Belonging to the family of detachable stainless-steel shaft surface probes, these pencil probes feature small coils and a small-diameter housing built for higher frequencies. They are usually used for surface breaking crack detection. Advantages • Excellent for small defect detection. • Good stability on flat surfaces. • Available with Powerlink™ technology. • Broad selection of frequency-ranges. • Wide variety of coil configurations available. Applications • Through paint inspection of aircraft rivets. • Aircraft structure, unit, and engine inspection. • Through paint detection of stress corrosion cracking in stainless and carbon steel. • Surface crack inspection of manufacturing and transportation equipment. Also known as send-receive or driver-pickup probes • Suitable for small defects, such as fatigue cracking. • Less drift than bridge probes. • Directional sensitivity. • Withstands variations in temperature. • Driver and pickup coils can be separately optimized for their intended purpose. • Wider frequency range, as driver coils do not need to be balanced to the pickup coils. Olympus reflection differential type probes give a clean and strong signal as shown. • Absolute bridge type probes • Internal reference coils ensure the best match to the test coil when using a Triax (Fischer™*) or Powerlink™ connector. • Shielded coil for higher resolution. • Detect cracks in all directions. • Probe-type commonly used worldwide. • Cost-effective option.
