Eddy Current Test System
CIRCOGRAPH® Product Family
Foerster Instruments, Incorporated
The CIRCOGRAPH eddy current test system with rotating probes guarantees maximum detection sensitivity for exposed longitudinal surface defects on bright material. The test system is primarily used for wire drawing machines, Cu tube rewinders, and finishing sections in the bright steel sector. The individually tailored test systems by FOERSTER can be fitted with rotating sensors or CIRCOSCAN rotating discs. They scan flat and profiled material, e.g. when testing rails and billets.

High Quality UCI - And Leeb-measuring Technology
SONODUR Product Family
Foerster Instruments, Incorporated
The non-destructive UCI test method (Ultrasonic Contact Impedance) as well as the Leeb test method enable fast and mobile measurement as a supplement to the classical hardness test. Due to the compact measuring probes and sensors of the SONO series, the devices can also be used in difficult test positions and with complex component geometries. Fields of application are e.g. incoming goods inspection, mix-up testing, production control, quality assurance, weld seam testing, cut edge testing, maintenance on installed components as well as the replacement of dynamic hardness testers for small material thicknesses (below 50 mm, e.g. boilers, tubes).
