allowing detection of corrosion at the edge of the heat
affected zone. A further benefit from the mathematical
modelling and the revised magnet construction is that we
have been able to design the transit case so that the unit
can be considered non hazardous (non-magnetic) for air
transport.
The motorised scanner has an auto-stop system which
ensures any defect above the operator adjustable
threshold is identified. All controls are situated in a recess at the top of the unit allowing easy viewing and
operation whilst being protected against accidental adjustment.
How it Works
As the scanner passes over a corrosion pit the excess magnetic field is forced out of the plate and is
detected by 36 Hall Effect sensors mounted in the centre of the magnet. The signal generated by the Hall
Effect sensor is filtered and passes through an alarm circuit. If the signal is greater than the operator
controllable alarm threshold, power to the motor is cut automatically the unit stops.
The operator is able to determine the precise defect position by noting which LEDs illuminate. Each LED is
numbered and a corresponding number is displayed
across the rear of the magnet carriage. Once the auto-stop
system has been activated the scanner continues to move
forward until the defect is just behind the rear rollers.
This allows the operator to accurately mark the affected
area of plate for further examination by an alternative NDT
technique (usually Ultrasonic) to determine corrosion depth. Once the auto-stop has been triggered the
scanner will not operate until the operator presses the reset button ensuring that no defect is missed as can
be the case with non motorised systems.
The MFL 2000 is a high speed, motorised magnetic flux leakage corrosion detection
scanner capable of inspecting approximately 8000 square feet per shift. The
ergonomic design coupled with the latest magnetic technology have resulted in an
easy to operate, accurate, reliable and cost effective inspection tool.The motorised
scanner takes all the strain giving you more consistent results and less operator
dependency.
The MFL 2000 corrosion detection floor scanner from Silverwing is a combination of magnetic technology
and customer led ergonomic mechanical design. The system is designed specifically with the operator in
mind. The availability of a new consistent high quality, magnetic material has allowed a complete re-design of
the MFL 2000 magnet design. In addition the mechanical design has overcome some of the more difficult
and time consuming set-up procedures and also eliminated vulnerable cabling reducing maintenance costs.
The latest generation sintered neodymium iron boron magnetic
material is used in the MFL2000 inspection system. After
extensive mathematical modelling we have designed a magnet
that not only gives an increased flux density within the plate but
also reduces attractive force. This not only means it is easier for
the operator to handle the unit, reducing physical stress and
increasing productivity, but reduces wear and tear on the unit
itself. The stronger more uniform field achieved across the
magnet width, coupled with cut out carriage design allows
inspection closer to the edge of the plate than before,
