Barkhausen Noise Equipment
Non-destructive (NDT) measurement solutions for grinding burn and heat treatment defect testing.
Optimize your manufacturing process and deliver the highest quality components by using Barkhausen noise analysis for detection of grinding burn damage and heat treatment defects.
Main features of Barkhausen noise measurement system:
- BN Rollscan signal analyzer
- Barkhausen noise sensor(s)
- ViewScan or MicroScan software for data acquisition and analysis
- Inline/robot, Automated or Semi-automated component handling system
We provide Barkhausen noise inspection systems for a wide range of steel components in following automation levels:
-
Inline/Robotized Systems
Inline/Robotized Barkhausen noise analysis systems can be integrated into production line. The measurement cycle is automated. The sample handling before and after the measurement is either automated or manual.
-
Automated Systems
Automated Barkhausen noise analysis systems are tailored for offline use. The measurement cycle is automated. Sample handling before and after the measurement is done manually. -
Semi-Automated Systems
Semi-automated Barkhausen noise analysis systems are suitable for low volume measurements. Carrying out a measurement cycle requires an operator. Sensor or sample movement is motorized. -
Manual Systems
Manual Barkhausen noise analysis systems are suitable for low volume measurements. Carrying out a measurement cycle requires an operator. There are no automated or motorized features. -
Barkhausen Noise Signal Analyzers
Barkhausen noise signal analyzers are designed for quality control and for testing near-surface defects such as grinding burns, heat treatment defects, as well as changes in stress and microstructure in ferritic steels and other ferromagnetic materials. -
Sensors
Barkhausen noise sensors are available in many different types, shapes and sizes, as contact or non-contact types.
Applications
Many manufacturing processes involve some modification of stress and/or microstructure that can be readily analyzed with Barkhausen noise. For example:
- Machining — grinding, turning, milling
- Cold working — shot peening, laser peening, autofrettage
- Surface hardening — carburizing, nitriding, induction hardening
Various dynamic processes such as creep and fatigue similarly involve changes in stress and microstructure and can also be monitored with Barkhausen noise.
