Inspection, Measuring, Testing & Marking
May 2009
Contrôle Mesure Systèmes (CMS),
France, is a leading manufacturer of NDT
equipment including inline and offline eddy
current and ultrasonic inspection for tube,
bar and plate.
To ensure detection of all possible
defects, CMS technology encompasses
a range of complementary inspection
techniques. Eddy current anti mix is
employed to verify the steel grade and
avoid mixing. In addition, equipment is
available to test using eddy current by
rotation, in order to detect longitudinal
defects. Eddy current testing is also
available to detect transversal defects by
encircling coil.
Ultrasonic inspection is used for the
detection of internal defects using
several transducers dedicated to different
types of defect with different orientation,
delamination, inclusion, and chevrons.
Inspection is usually undertaken by local
immersion. Demagnetizing units are
employed to remove remnant magnetic
fields.
A series of markers (eg paint, spray or
saw) are used to indicate the position of
detected defects. A computerized system is
employed to drive different NDT equipment,
communicate with the PLC of the line and
give an NDT report for each product in a
batch.
Automatic settings of mechanical parts
(table, pinch rolls, centring devices etc) are
designed to support NDT elements.
This configuration can be modified using
variants like flux leakage, weld inspection,
and thickness measurement. The
settings are dependant upon the product
characteristics and normative values.
However, inspection can work according to
any production speed.
