The principle of operation of the electroplating thickness gauge: A converter with an induction coil on a ferrite core generates a high-frequency signal (frequency 1 MHz), which is used to create an alternating magnetic field. As the converter approaches the conductive surface, an alternating magnetic field creates eddy currents, the magnitude of which depends on the characteristics of the metal base and the thickness of the coating. In turn, eddy currents create their own electromagnetic field, which can be received by an induction coil. The resulting signal enters the amplitude detector, after which it is transmitted to the processing unit, where it is digitized and displayed on the device readout. In addition to signal conversion, the processor is used to set the required gain, as well as the initial voltage offset, depending on the characteristics of the materials in the controlled object. Features of the device design and advantages of the measurement method The TL-1MP eddy current thickness gauge consists of an electronic unit with a display, a power supply and a converter. The device is controlled using four buttons located on the front panel of the electronic unit. The converter can be disconnected from the electronic unit during transportation or for convenience of storage. The advantages of the device include: - convenience and ease of operation; - small size and light weight, allowing the TL-1MP to be used in difficult conditions with limited access to the controlled area of the facility; - high measurement accuracy; - factory setting of the measuring instrument to the customer's requirements; - high degree of localization of defects due to the small size of the converter. Scope of application: The service life of metal parts and components of mechanisms used in mechanical engineering is largely determined by their resistance to corrosion and surface wear. However, not all metals are sufficiently resistant to external destructive influences. Therefore, various electroplating coatings made of zinc, nickel, chromium, cadmium, tin, copper, silver and other metals are used to protect them. Even small fluctuations in the thickness of protective coatings can significantly affect the performance characteristics of parts, their service life, and interaction with other components. Therefore, measuring the thickness of the metal coating applied by the electrochemical method is important when conducting quality control of products. The use of the TL-1MP eddy current thickness gauge allows non-destructive quality control of electroplating coatings on the surface of metal parts in mass production conditions with special requirements for product quality. The device detects even small mechanical defects, the effects of abrasion, erosion, corrosion on the surface. Due to its ease of use, efficiency and reliability, eddy current thickness measurement is a standard method of quality control of products with electroplated coatings in such industries as mechanical engineering, aerospace industry.

It is especially effective for use in products made of composite materials (including with honeycomb filler). Distinctive features: The AD-42 IP is a compact acoustic system sensitive to changes in mechanical impedance caused by product defects. The indication of the device indicates that there are voids, non-adhesives, delaminations or changes in the structure of composite materials (including with honeycomb filler and laminated plastics) under the sensor. The device is used to monitor various materials and their combinations. The energy consumption of the unit is low because the converter is switched on when the sensor is placed on the monitored product. Being light enough, the device allows you to perform monitoring in hard-to-reach places or in confined spaces. The results of the control can be stored in the built-in non-volatile memory and transferred to a PC.

The principle of operation of the device: The principle of operation of the flaw detector is based on the excitation of eddy currents in the controlled product and the subsequent release of a signal at the output of the converter, the amplitude and phase of which are determined by the secondary field of eddy currents.

The device allows you to detect surface defects like cracks, visualizing the signal from the continuity interruptions on the display. The design of the flaw detector allows to determine with high reliability the exact location and depth of defects even on rough surfaces of flat and curved shape, including under a layer of corrosion or in the presence of a protective coating of the controlled area of the product with a thickness of up to 3 mm. The principle of operation of the VD-12NFP eddy current flaw detector: The principle of operation of the VD-12NFP eddy current flaw detector is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. An alternating magnetic field created in the primary coil of the converter by means of a sinusoidal voltage generator excites eddy currents in the controlled product. A parasitic magnetic field formed by eddy currents at the locations of defects affects the measuring unit (two signal coils connected in series) of the converter, creating an electromotive force in it. The amplitude and phase of the secondary signal carries information about the properties of the defect and the position of the transducer relative to the surface of the controlled product. The output signal from the measuring unit of the converter, after amplification and processing using a microprocessor, is displayed on the readout of the device, and is also stored in the memory block for subsequent transmission to a personal computer. In addition, information about the defects is displayed on a piezoelectric bell used as an audio indicator.

This ensures convenient operation of the device in a variety of conditions: in the laboratory, in the factory shop or during field tests. The flaw detector consists of an electronic unit with controls and display of test results, as well as three replaceable converters with wear-resistant corundum tips connected to the electronic unit using a connector. The choice of the desired converter depends on the magnetic properties of the material. For the control of parts with grooves, a converter with an inclined tip is offered. The device is powered by 4 AA batteries located in the battery compartment of the electronic unit. The advantages of the flaw detector include: - a screen for visualizing the signal during measurement; - light weight and compact dimensions that allow you to use the device in almost any conditions; - the ability to control the quality of products of various curvature and surface roughness even in the presence of a protective coating or a layer of corrosion; - wear resistance of converters, which is important when monitoring products with increased surface roughness (up to Rz£320); - automatic detection of the type of converter when connected, as well as the presence of built-in memory for storing control results; - the possibility to transfer data to a personal computer for storing or printing control protocols. Scope of application: Portability, high productivity, the ability to work with curved and rough surfaces, as well as the fact that the operation of the flaw detector is practically unaffected by humidity, pressure and contamination of the gas environment or the surface of the controlled product with non-conductive substances ensure the versatility of the device for detecting cracks in various materials.
