Product catalog summary
Overview: The CIRCOGRAPH DS 6.430 is an advanced eddy current testing system designed for automatic, high-resolution flaw detection in wires, bars, and tubes made from various metals. It features a WINDOWS-based interface for operator guidance and real-time visualization.
Key Features:
  • Network Integration: Supports Ethernet and TCP/IP for multi-computer access.
  • High Resolution: Offers optimal flaw resolution based on probe track width.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Provides detailed test documentation stored in a database.
  • Automated Adjustments: Includes automated clearance and sensitivity adjustments.
  • Security and Accessibility: Protected by access codes with multilingual online help.
Applications:
  • Suitable for testing ferrous, austenite, and nonferrous round stock for surface flaws.
  • Tests materials with diameters from 2 to 130 mm at speeds up to 3m/s.
Testing Modes:
  • Piece Testing: Identifies and locates flaws for further processing.
  • Continuous Testing: Evaluates flaw density with statistical analysis.
  • Cutting to Length: Matches flaw occurrences with cutter position.
Operating Principle: Utilizes rotating probes for non-contact, high-resolution surface scanning.
Device Structure: Comprises an electronic test unit, operating computer, software, and various accessories.
Software and Interface:
  • Base Software: For device adjustment and test result logging.
  • Optional Features: Includes result investigation and networked operation.
Conclusion: The CIRCOGRAPH DS 6.430 is a versatile testing system offering high-resolution flaw detection and extensive documentation capabilities.
Cabinet Housing: Available in standard and swivel configurations with IP54 protection.
Printer Drawer: A 19" printer drawer is available for both cabinet types.
Rotating Heads: Various sensor systems are available for different applications.
Motor Control: Multiple options support different speeds and features.
Accessories and Options: Includes light barriers, motion transducers, and cooling devices.

Typical applications Piece testing The purpose of semi-finished materials testing is not only to determine whether a test part is flawed or flaw-free, but also where exactly which flaws are located, as further processing or use can depend on this. In many cases, flawed sections can be cut out and the remaining length can be used; or a part can be reused after small flawed spots are ground out; or the parts are sorted in different quality classes with varying surface quality, in which not only flaw depth but also flaw frequency may be relevant. For all of these cases, the CIRCOGRAPH DS supplies...

The valuation can take place either stalistically by section as in the 'Continuous' operating mode, or in relation lo events as with pice testing <e.g. in accor騭dante with EN1971).
