Details

Tolerance Zones

When recording material data with a PC/laptop the eddyguard automatically generates elliptical tolerance zones for a reliable test. A tolerance zone editor is integrated for special applications enabling the skilled user to freely define the zones in rectangular or elliptical form.

iSHA Harmonic Analysis

In addition to the eight fundamental test frequencies, two harmonics (2 nd to 9 th harmonic selectable) for each test frequency can be turned on and simultaneously evaluated without increasing the test time thanks to the iSHA-technology (ibg‘s Simultaneous Harmonic Analysis).

Display of Results

(with connected PC/laptop only) Test results are shown as bargraph, single ellipse or multiple ellipses, selectable.

Coils

A multitude of encircling coils up to a diameter of 500 mm as well as structure test probes are available for standard applications. Customised coils (i.e. ID coils and rectangular coils) for special applications are designed and manufactured in-house. Test coils may be connected either as ibg recommended compensating pair of coils or as self-compensating single coil. Monitoring of coil and cable failure as well as a 50/60 Hz noise suppression can be activated. Ibg offers also a range of durable highspeed sorting devices for test parts up to 60 mm diameter.

Activating Test

Start of test can be manually on the PC/laptop via PLC or optional start button. There is an autostart function that detects the part in the test coil and activates testing immediately or after an adjustable delay time.

Test Speed

High speed testing within milliseconds. Using eight test frequencies, a cycle rate up to seven parts per second with encircling coils and 25 parts with probes can be realised with standard settings.

Part Type

Maximum 20 part types with all settings and reference data can be stored in the device memory and switched over manually via PC/laptop or via PLC for automated processes.

Data Storage & Sransfer

Part types and instrument settings are stored on the PC/laptop and may additionally be saved e.g. onto an USB-stick.

Automation without PLC

Direct control of sorting devices, paint marking systems or indicating lamps is possible with merely an external voltage source 24Vdc, providing a low-cost solution for small automated systems without an additional PLC, too.

Operation / Configuration

by means of the delivered ibg operating software to be installed on a PC/laptop supplied by customer. System requirements: USB 2.0 and operating system MS Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit) or Windows XP (32 bit).

Help Function

The software for the PC/laptop has a context sensitive help function which often renders a look into the manual unnecessary.

Languages

The software for the PC/laptop may be set to German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Czech, Hungary, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Russian. Other languages as option.
