PRODUCTION COMPARATOR VI


Production Comparator VI is a Windows® based test instrument that uses low frequency electromagnetic techniques to inspect magnetic materials for variations in physical characteristics such as alloy, heat treatment and case depth. I

Technology

A frequent challenge in manufacturing and industry is how to separate different parts that have been intentionally—or accidentally—mixed. Electromagnetic comparators can be used to accomplish this quickly and economically.

Detects Variations in Alloy, Heat Treatment or Case Depth

  • Rapid sorting of ferromagnetic parts.
  • Offers choice of Polar (Vector) or Lissajou screen displays.
  • Inspect tubes or bars at production line speeds.
  • Choose any one of 10 pre-set frequencies from 10 Hz to 150 Hz.
  • Optional 8-channel multi-frequency software is available.
  • System can be set up and monitored on site or via computer at a remote location.
  • Monitor presentation provides simultaneous display of the “standard” piece and test piece waveforms for easy comparison.
  • Test parameters, including filter, sensitivity, index gate and visible threshold levels, are selected using the keyboard or mouse while observing the effects on the display monitor.
  • All functions and test setup parameters in software can also be accessed through a computer LAN network.
  • Unlimited test setups can be stored on the hard drive for easy recall.

The Production Comparator VI is a Windows® based test instrument that uses low frequency electromagnetic techniques to inspect magnetic materials for variations in physical characteristics

Features:

  • Analyzes signals from the fundamental frequency to its 13th order harmonic to provide a rapid NDT method for efficient sorting of ferromagnetic parts into groups.
  • Built-in end suppression with adjustable In-and-Out time based delays, easy one click auto balance and built in self-diagnostics are also included.
  • Two adjustable thresholds allow parts to be sorted into three quality levels.
  • All setup parameters can be individually locked out to prevent unauthorized changes.
  • New optional multi-frequency software allows simultaneous analysis of eight frequencies for a more complex test.
  • To maximize the difference between pieces and minimize extraneous readings, the coil current can be adjusted, and one of three filter settings can be selected:
