DEDICATED SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC, IN-LINE NODULARITY CONTROL OF CAST IRON COMPONENTS AUTOSCAN 2400 SYSTEM

Our systems can be easily integrated into current and new production lines for automatic nodularity control, sending the relevant output signals as particularly required to the available PLC, acoustic or light indicators, PC etc. on the production line.

Nodularity control through velocity measurement is an established practice in plants manufacturing cast iron structural components. The aim being to measure the relative percentages of grey and ductile iron in a given part. Currently, the general practice is a manual or automatic spot test with oil coupling, but a much higher efficiency and lower overall process cost is achieved by using dry coupling, as utilised in the Autoscan 2400.

Advantages of the Autoscan 2400 over alternative products include

	Full process automation and control
	Precise and consistent transducer placement
	Dry-coupled transducer avoids couplant/oil contamination of part
	Reduces cost by eliminating couplant and cleaning
	Durable ‘IP67’ instrument enclosure
	Choice of digital or analogue outputs
	Direct read out of velocity
	User programmable alarm limits
