Product information
The BIS-ECA is a fully automated turnkey inspection system that is integrated into the metal production line to monitor safety and quality requirements of raw materials in both round and square forms.
ECA for Surface Inspections at High Speed
Eddy current array (ECA) is an effective and efficient inspection method, and the BIS ECA is a robust and flexible system built to meet the demands of metal processing plants:
- Actuators automatically adjust the probe positions to the desired product size and adapt to surface or shape irregularities
- A single set of probes can cover the complete product size range
- Printed-circuit board (PCB) and patented Dynamic Liftoff Compensation (DLOC) technology simultaneously process
- Both axially and radially oriented flaws (up to 10 mm long surface cracks in 0° and 90° orientations) are reliably detected over the product’s entire surface
- Wear-resistant shoe with carbides and a protective hard-ceramic layer on the probes withstand shocks and abrasion from the surface
- Runs at continuous production speeds of up to 2.5 m/s with minimal operator intervention
- Small footprint makes it easier to integrate or retrofit into production lines
Easy Operation, Increased Uptime
The simple and rugged BIS-ECA is designed to save time and operational costs for metal processing plants:
- Nonrotating, pass-through design reduces mechanical complexity
- Quick changeovers between product types and sizes
- Minimal maintenance required
- Rugged probes and wear shoes are designed to need servicing no more than once a year under typical inspection conditions
