Foerster Defectometer M 1.837

Foerster Defectometer M 1.837

Mobile Crack Detection and Hardness Sorting for Aircraft, Automotive and More

Overview

The Defectometer M 1.837 is ideally suited for all situation requiring mobile crack testing. The unit has a defect resolution starting from just 20 µm and numerous automatic functions. The LED scale reading and LCD display ensure good legibility even in broad daylight or complete darkness. The long operating life of 35 h and USB port make it a perfect companion for manual crack and hardness testing and the separation of materials.

Applications

Perfect for a variety of applications:

  • Testing for surface cracks on turbine blades, on wheels, on wings around rivets etc. on aircrafts
  • Testing of surface cracks on bridges
  • Testing of surface cracks on gas pipelines
  • The flaw resolution is approximately 20 μm
  • Simple sorting tasks
  • Identification of hardness changes and detection of surface cracks on automotive components
  • Detection and evaluation of surface cracks on semifinished products

Special Probes

The respective probe elements are available as a shielded and unshielded version. The shielding reduces the expansion of the magnetic field, so testing closer to material edges is possible. The five different probe elements can be used in a wide variety of probe shapes. The probe form can be adapted individually to the respective requirement. If, for example, an incorrect bolt has been installed in a machine, the probe shape can be adapted so that the bolt can be reached without dismounting the machine. For more frequent applications, test kits are available to guarantee a simple and, above all, safe procedure.
