Combining eddy current and ultrasonic methods Since 1988, Controle Mesure Systemes (CMS), headquartered in France, has been developing and producing inspection solutions using eddy current and ultrasonic technologies for the non-destructive testing market. As an illustration, the testing bench pictured comprises eddy current systems, including the RotoETscan rotating head for identifying longitudinal defects at the surface of the products, and a magnetising unit equipped with an encircling coil for detecting short defects. It also incorporates ultrasonic systems such as the RotoUTscan rotating head, which facilitates the detection of longitudinal, oblique, transverse, SDH internal and external defects.

Among its systems, CMS provides a testing bench that integrates both eddy current and ultrasonic methods. Tailored to meet customer requirements, the inspection bench enables a 100 per cent inspection of cylindrical products such as wires, bars or tubes. The eddy current equipment detects surface and sub-surface defects, while the ultrasonic instrument identifies internal and external defects and also performs accurate dimensional measurements.

The inspection bench can be integrated directly in the production line, maintaining the same inspection speed, or located at an off-line inspection station. As with all CMS ultrasonic and eddy current systems, the inspection bench is fully designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring compliance with current European and international standards such as ASTM, API, DIN, SEP, BS, ISO, ASME, ASNT and API. To complement the system, CMS’s proprietary Probus Supervisor Software centralises and collects data from both eddy current and ultrasonic equipment while also managing actuators on the line. CMS will present its range of non-destructive testing systems on stand 4H34 at Aluminium Düsseldorf 2024 in Germany, from 8 to 12 October. Controle Mesure Systemes www.cmseddyscan.com
