Nov 05, 2004 Tie-Bolt Inspection System uses gravity and thread angle to drive universal probe along thread pattern. Bolt head and shank can be inspected by manually manipulating probe, and one probe can be used to scan variety of bolts with typical inspection time of less than 7 sec. Tie-bolts are rotated at 100, 200, or 400 rpm for full scanning flexibility. Scanning bed accommodates bolt lengths from 1–6 in. and diameters from 5/16–1 in.

Jun 10, 2003 Built with proprietary US-454 EddyViewâ„¢ eddy current inspection instrument, product uses transport system that allows different diameter roller bearings to be inspected by changing hoppers and chutes. Bearings are individually selected in hopper and transported by gravity to inspection station. Assembly continuously rotates bearing while eddy current probe indexes its length. After inspection, assembly arm transports bearings to appropriate defective/defect-free bin.

Eddy Current Scanner offers specific software capabilities.
