Baugh & Weedon PBU-350 Portable MPI Bench

Baugh & Weedon PBU-350 Portable MPI Bench

Portable w/ Great MPI Performance 

The PBU 350 Portable Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) Bench Unit offers great MPI performance teamed with the outstanding quality that Baugh & Weedon is known for. As well as the key features, there are various aspects of the PBU design that set it apart in the marketplace including the ability to add an inking system to the unit offering maximum flexibility to the inspector.

The PBU uses a gas spring to provide the clamping pressure on the headstock that ensures optimum electrical contact with the component under test. We have also developed the coil to offer bi-directional clamping allowing the coil to be manually rotated at 90° for maximum inspection flexibility.

90° Coil Rotation for maximum flexibility

Features:

  • Only requires a 13 Amp supply
  • Working Ranges: Current Flow 1000 AMPS AC RMS (1800Amps Peak Equivalent). HWDC 700 AMPS Twice Mean (=MagAmps), 350 Amps Mean Equivalent.
  • Optional Current Pre-Selection System
  • Stainless Steel Construction
  • Compact with Integral Power Pack
  • AC / HWDC Magnetizing and Optional Single Phase FWDC
  • Shot times of 1, 2 and 3 seconds as standard (dual shot times also available)
  • Demagnetizing cycle
    • AC / HWDC - Decaying AC Demag Cycle
    • If equipped with FWDC - Flux Flow Option - Low Frequency, reversing polarity decay.
  • Gas Spring Pressure on Headstock & Manual Locking Tailstock
  • Current Flow - Copper Braid Contact Pads & V-Block Supports
  • Optional Flux Flow - Flux Flow can be added integrally to the PBU-350 unit allowing the user to find transverse defects without needing to use a coil.
  • Footswitch for ease-of-use
  • Operator controls and digital metering mounted above the headstock
  • Stainless Steel enclosure and drip tray
  • Optional Bi-Directional Coils - one coil can be turned at 90° and clamped in either direction, meaning that defects can easily be investigated in either direction.
