Quality Inspection on Aluminium Wires
For aluminium wire inspection , CMS has developed an eddy current system , allowing detection of defects such as cracks and holes at a high speed ( 1500-2000 m / min for example depending of the diameter range to inspect ).
During the process , aluminium billets are transformed by lamination . Then , the wire is guided and passes through an eddy current system composed by a support coil mounted in a support table with guide rollers assuring a good entrance of the product . A special encircling coil , located in the support , allows the detection of cracks at the surface of the product . Eddy current testing is performed by Zet @ premium instrument dual channels . When a defect or an inclusion is detected , the system activates a line shutdown , marker , visual alarm , saw or some other outputs . An encoder installed on the line allows precise location of defects in a customized report .
