DEFECTOMAT EP 2.849

DEFECTOMAT CP - the successor to the legendary

DEFECTOMAT C incorporating the very latest microprocessor technology. The practically oriented compact test instrument matches a brought field of application for automatic flaw testing of semi finished
product industry, manufacturing and machining
wires, bars and tubes.
The P stands for Processor, Printed log and Printer.
The use of microprocessors, logging of the test results
and the printer interface are important innovations, but
they are, by far, certainly not the only innovations.

DEFECTOMAT CP is the answer to all standard testing tasks.

The new basic model EP completes the time-proven
DEFECTOMAT family and unites the advantages of a
low-cost, single-channel compact instrument with the
scope of performance of modern computer technology
- configurable, application-oriented functionality, high
level of operating convenience, problem-oriented signal and result evaluation.

Cutting, Continuous and Wire.

In Pieces and Cutting evaluation modes, the
parts are assessed on the basis of the number of
small and large flaws. The limit values can be set.
In Continuous and Wire evaluation modes, the
material under test is subdivided into sections of
adjustable length. These are assessed either on
the basis of the number or on the basis of the density of small and large flaws or on the basis of
SEUs (Smallest Evaluation Unit); the evaluation
mode can be selected by means of a switch. An
overall assessment is formed for wires on the basis of the number of defective sections.

Application
Non-destructive testing of semi-finished products
made of ferrous materials, austenitic or non-ferrous
materials for surface flaws on the basis of the
eddy-current method (DIN 54 140). This test supersedes leakage testing of pipes and tubes for instance.

Special applications:

Testing sheets and strips with flat segment coils.

Testing shaped or molded parts with scanning
coils.
Flaw detection sensitivity:
The instrument is equipped with a differential channel which is operated with a differential coil and which
responds to changes in the conductivity of the test
material. It thus detects cavity and void-type flaws
transverse to the throughput direction and short longitudinal flaws with a high level of sensitivity. It supplies a front and tail signal in the case of longer longitudinal flaws which enter at a steep angle.
The optional absolute channel also indicates deep
longitudinal flaws over the entire length proportional
to the depth and is suitable for use as an unwelded
tube monitor on welding lines for instance. It also detects coarse material mix defects.

The main field of application is testing tubes, rods

and wires.
Cross section: round or profiled (e.g. hexagonal
roads)
Test sequence: The material under test passes
through the stationary sensor system in a continuous sequence.
Area tested: Continuous testing of the entire surface without omission with a through-type coil
matched to the diameter or to the section profile
or testing a longitudinal zone, e.g. the seam area
of longitudinally seam-welded tubes, with an
adapted segment coil or probe.
Testing hot wire made of non-ferrous materials
and ferrous materials above the Curie point.
Use on the finishing line or directly on the drawing, rolling or welding line.
The speed range of 1 m/min. to 120 m/s covers all
fields of application from slowly operating special-steel welding machines through to hot-wire
rolling lines.

mounting bracket.

The mains power supply panel, the monitor and the

hinge-out front keypad are located on the front side.
The memory card interface is situated behind the
door.

Signal evaluation

The rest of the evaluation process depends upon the

type of material and test: In the case of separate-item
(piece) testing and long material which is cropped af ter testing, the individual pieces are subdivided into
the result classes RO (flawless), R1 (defective class
1) and R2 (defective class 2). A part is defective R1
(or R2) if the number of flaws F1 (F2) has reached an
adjustable limit value F1 (F2). This assessment also
determines how the material is sorted.

switch-over is possible between assessment on

the basis of the number of flaws in the case
of separate items (pieces) and cropping and assessment on the basis of the flaw density or defective
SEUs. The flaw density is the quotient of flaw length
per section and section length. This assessment is
particularly suitable for applications in which high
flaw rates are anticipated, e.g. if it is intended to detect an increased surface roughness as F1 owing to
fluctuations relating to production conditions. By contrast, assessment on the basis of the number of flaws
is suitable for applications in which relatively low flaw
rates are anticipated, resp. on the basis of defective
SEUs.

In the case of continuous material and wire, sections

of adjustable lengths are assessed, where a

The figures and tables below show the various evaluation options by way of example.

Signal evaluation is performed in several stages: the

individual flaws are subdivided into flaw classes F1
and F2 on the basis of two trigger thresholds which
can be set mutually independently.

F1 density = 30%,
F2 density = 10%.

The instrument records both a short-term and a
long-term report. These reports contain the same
statistical evaluations but can be started mutually

independently. This permits batch and shift reports to

be kept simultaneously for instance.

Front-panel keypad
Sealed keypad with menu, entry and special function
keys. Only a small number of operating controls is required thanks to the cleverly designed operating concept. These operating elements are clearly arranged
and have a clear, unequivocal function:

Each menu key calls a specific input window. Key

RUN closes an open window and returns you to
the basic menu.

The entry keys change parameter settings and

trigger functions. Precisely one function is assigned to each pair of keys in each input window,
e.g.:

 All required functions can be operated with the

90

keys on the front keypad. In addition, the external

full-complement keyboard offers the option of
free text entries for designating instrument settings and for configuring the test log. It also provides qualified users with access to the instruments entire database.

The key-operated switch is used to preselect one

of five hierarchically structured interlock levels.
Each level enables a specific scope of functions
for operation.
Advantages:
Protection against unintentional modification
or deletion of data.
Targeted enabling of the scope of operating
functions depending upon qualification of the
operating staff.
Protection of the data against unauthorized
access.

Dialog language
One language is included in the scope of delivery,
either German, English, French, Italian or Spanish. Additional ones of these dialog languages are
available if required on additional Memory Cards
(1 Memory Card per language).

Fig. 14 The practically oriented operating concept

is rounded off by elegant details.
Example: Interactive setting of gain and
phase. Record comparison flaw, mark target position of the flaw signal with the adjustment arrow and press Accept - that is
all you need to do.
The instrument corrects the gain and
phase and immediately displays the stored
signal with the new setting.
1 = Trigger threshold 1
2 = Trigger threshold 2

Monitoring
Important instrument functions are monitored automatically. These include all internal supply voltages,
all sensor winders and various functions of the test
sequence. All fault signals and event signals and
messages are subdivided into seven categories on
the basis of urgency, from information on the test sequence through to malfunctions resulting from defects. Signals and messages as of a configurable category can trip an external alarm. An FIFO with capacity for 30 messages stores the clear-text messages
and outputs them on a connected printer.

Advantages:
Avoidance of incorrect settings, reliable reproduction of the instrument setting
Verifiable reproducibility of the test results determined
No need for extensive manual logging
Changes of instrument settings can be implemented within a very short time.

Internal Library

Individual software installation

Internal SRAM with buffer battery for storing maximal

24 instrument settings. This permits instrument settings to be optimized once for a specific testing task
and then reloaded for testing subsequent series.

Specific basic settings of the instrument can be

adapted to meet individual requirements. It is also
possible to define so-called option commands.
These are commands or sequences which are triggered automatically if a specific event occurs, e.g. if
the instrument is switched on or if the SPCL key is
pressed. These settings can be implemented at the
works if required. If you are appropriately qualified,
you yourself can enter these settings using the external keyboard.

All entries are clearly identifiable: You can enter a

clear-text designation on an external keyboard. The
time of archiving is entered as the identification automatically if no entry is made.

PCs and software for remote control

The DEFECTOMAT CP has a remote serial RS 232
C interface for linking to other computers. This interface offers the option of remotely controlling all functions on the DEFECTOMAT CP. Instrument settings

can be managed and all evaluation data can be retrieved. Ready-to-use systems with PCs and appropriate software are available for specific applications.

MEMORY CARD
The standard scope of delivery includes 1 Memory
Card with 256 KByte. It contains the installation
data set valid for the individual instrument, i.e. all
project-specific non-recurrent settings such as absolute channel yes/no, installation data for inputs
and outputs and so forth and all menu texts in the
selected dialog language.

Additional Memory Cards can be used for the following purposes:

Loading changing dialog languages e.g. output of
the test report in the language of the end user.
Saving the entire database as a backup for transfer to a standby instrument or for downloading after servicing work.
