GE Inspections Hocking Vector 22 Dual Frequency Eddy Current Inspection System

Description

Slightly used GE Inspections Hocking Vector 22 Dual Frequency Eddy Current Inspection System. This unit is flawless and works great.
The Vector 22 is a dual-channel eddy current instrument that features two sensor inputs each with its own independent test channel. Encircling, rotating, and probe type sensors can be connected.  It is intended for installation in automated or semi-automated testing lines for crack detection, heat treat verification, and feature detection. It is also an ideal instrument for bench-top and laboratory use.
Products Features
Dual probe, dual-channel or single probe dual-frequency instrument
Separate alarm outputs for each test channel / test frequency
Configurable probe connections (bridge, reflection, absolute)
Supports rotating probe drives
Wide range of filtering for dynamic applications
Flexible I/O interface for connection to process controllers (PLCs)
Multi-lingual user interface
Internal storage of settings and signal traces
Applications
Detection of surface cracks in manufactured components
Heat treat sorting with encircling coils or probes
Surface inspection of non-ferrous bar, wire, and tubing using encircling coils
Surface inspection of rotating ferrous or non-ferrous bars and tubes using fixed probes
Inspection of the weld zone of ferrous and non-ferrous welded tubes using fixed probes
Inspection of boreholes or flat surfaces using rotating probes
Thread detection and other test piece feature detection applications
Rail inspection
Advantages of the Vector 22
The Vector 22 uses the Eddy Current Technique, which has some key real-world advantages for manufacturers of quality products;
•
Sensitive:
The Vector 22 is a highly economic and effective technique for coverage of surface and near surface flaws in metals, covering areas that Ultrasonic cannot inspect .
•
Speed:
The Vector 22 has a 16kHz sample rate which allows for very high line speeds, especially when compared to alternative techniques such as X-ray or ultrasonic. Eddy Current has no waste product, or couplant requirement - significantly simplifying the management process.
•
Scaleable:
The ability to add extra channels as required gives a fully scaleable solution, and because of the Vector 22’s extensive Inputs and outputs, interfacing with parts handling can be as simple or as sophisticated as required
•
Surface Tolerant:
The ability of Eddy Current to inspect through paint and other non-conductive surface coatings means that preparation for inspection is minimal. The probe can even inspect without contact with the part.
