Automatic Material Sorting Machines Based On Eddy Current Technique

Hardness testing stands as a crucial quality control step in automotive part production. Ensuring optimal material hardness is essential for components that endure dynamic stresses, such as engine parts, gears, and suspension elements. Accurate hardness assessment guarantees that these parts withstand the demands of daily use, minimizing wear and enhancing overall durability. By validating hardness, manufacturers prevent premature failures, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance vehicle safety. This meticulous testing process safeguards against defects that could compromise the performance and reliability of automotive components, contributing to the creation of safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting vehicles.Leveraging our proficiency in the field of eddy current testing methodology and machine design, we specialize in the development of advanced automatic material sorting systems utilizing the eddy current technique. Our systems excel in two distinctive sorting criteria: alterations in material hardness or shifts in material composition. Within our comprehensive portfolio, we offer an array of solutions tailored to various requirements, ranging from straightforward manual Poke yoke systems to sophisticated, fully automated setups. Whether your demand calls for precise material identification, stringent quality assurance, or enhanced production efficiency, our solutions encompass the entire spectrum, ensuring optimal results for your specific needs.
Manual System with Poka Yoke
This setup comprises an eddy current device, dual coils, a PLC integrated with an Andon system, and a pair of bins. The Master component is positioned within one of the coils. The operator introduces the part intended for testing into the testing coil. Subsequently, the instrument communicates the test outcome to the PLC, which in turn displays the result on the Andon system for the operator’s reference. It is mandatory for the operator to correctly allocate the tested part into the design
