Contrôle Mesure Systèmes provides eddy current inspection technology for tube, bar, wire, and profiles, suitable for online and off-line testing. The equipment range, designed to meet quality standards such as API, ASTM, and DIN, includes the Zet@Master portable instrument and the Eddyscan 30X system for on and off-line inspection. The company has also launched the Zet@premium and the Zet@Micro for simpler applications that do not need the strength of the Zet@Master. One of the smallest instruments on the market, the Zet@Master offers unique features including multi-channels, multi- frequencies, and frequency range from 10Hz to 10MHz. The Zet@Master has a supervision system that allows control of all peripheral devices, sorting management and reporting. These reports give defect location, type, number of good and bad parts, together with different rates in a virtually unlimited number of parameter sets. Remote control of the Zet@Master is possible via the internet, offering the possibility to supervise or support from any location.
