Surface sensors

We supply a range of pencil surface probes for surface inspection of metal parts. All characteristics of our sensors - including their shape, coils and operating frequency - are optimised to meet our customers' requirements. The sensing element in all our sensors is encapsulated in protective resin to extend its service life.

Straight shielded pencil sensor

The absolute contact sensor is used for manual crack control. It is also used on a fixed fixture in an automated control station.

Rim sensor

This sensor can be used to inspect the rim profile for cracks in the spokes. It features two coils shaped to the rim.

Conductivity sensor

The conductivity probe is used to measure the electrical properties of a material in order to sort matter or to study the lifespan of a part that is heating up. This probe is also used to measure the thickness of a coating.

E-SURFLEX

Ultra-flexible plug-in sensor that offers a wide range of applications. The upper part attaches to different flexes designed with real spools. This sensor produces high-quality signals and better detection capabilities. These sensors are suitable for detecting surface corrosion, subsurface indications, and surface cracks.

E-PADDED

The E-PADDED sensor can be used to inspect complex geometries such as welds or aircraft wheels: its applications are very diverse. It is composed of 3 parts, the case, the support and the flex. The support can be either semi-rigid or foam. You can easily unhook the flex in order to change it or change the support. This sensor is ideal for crack mapping.

Welding sensor

This sensor can be used to inspect the clean weld bead and the HAZ for cracks. Its orthogonal winding offers an alternative to penetrant testing. It is possible to add a bracket to ensure that the sensor is placed on the cord.

Pencil surface probes

Our contact sensors, designed for manual crack inspection or static installation in an automatic inspection station, feature a stainless steel body and a PEEK measuring head, considerably enhancing their service life

 

Spring-loaded sensors

Spring-loaded sensors are the ideal choice for situations requiring a constant angle and pressure. These sensors are typically used for part sampling and for corrosion detection.

Inclined sensors

Twisted-stem surface sensors can be used to obtain an ergonomic working position, or to access hard-to-reach areas. This type of shielded sensor is characterised by small coils and a small-diameter casing designed for higher frequencies. They are most often used for detecting surface cracks.
