Eddy current and ultrasonic rotary inspections from CMS

probes, located inside the head, rotate around the product to detect longitudinal defects. The inspection is carried out with a helical pitch. With the user-friendly Zet@Setting software and CMS’s eddy current electronics Zet@Master, the results of the inspection are displayed in real-time. The traceability is ensured by production software, which creates complete and customisable inspection reports. RotoUTscan, the ultrasonic rotary head, detects internal and external defects of any orientation while simultaneously performing dimensional measurements (ID, OD and wall thickness). The system can inspect products with diameters ranging from 4 to 450mm. Ultrasonic transducers are rotating in immersion at speeds up to 8,000rpm around the inspected product. This latter moves in translation through

CONTROLE Mesure Systemes Group has been operating as a manufacturer of eddy current and ultrasonic non destructive testing equipment for more than 35 years. The company is composed of Controle Mesure Systemes, Sofratest (specialising in UT for ERW and SAW pipes) and CMS Inc (the US division). CMS designs and manufactures a range of customised and turnkey solutions to inspect tubes, bars, wires, plates and rails. RotoETscan, the eddy current rotary head, detects surface and subsurface longitudinal defects at high speeds on products with diameters ranging from 0.8mm to 220mm. Often installed directly on the production line, the inspection speed reaches up to 6m/s. During the inspection, the product moves in translation through RotoETscan. Two or four eddy current

RotoUTScan. The combination of transducers rotating, and the product translation, results in an inspection with a helical pitch. The transmission of the signal between the stator and rotor is contactless by capacitive module. An ultrasonic electronic MultiUTscan, which work up to 20KHz, allows high speed inspection with good repeatability. The alarms are set on supervision software Probus. At the end of the production, it automatically creates complete and customisable inspection reports to ensure traceability. CMS will be at booth D42441 at the Fabtech Exhibition in Chicago, USA from the 11 to 15 September 2023.
