Eddy current displacement sensors combine several advantages. They provide high precision and resolution on a wear-free, noncontact basis. They are resistant to external influences such as dirt, pressure and fluctuating temperatures and therefore are ideally suited to harsh industrial environments.

Digital transformation is a competitive technology and business strategy that leverages data gathering to drive business efficiencies, new revenue growth, and new business models.

Pulsed eddy currents (PEC) are a versatile nondestructive testing (NDT) technique uniquely suited to detect corrosion under insulation (CUI). 

When I was 19 years old, my first paying job in the nondestructive testing (NDT) industry was inspecting a weld repair on a water intake pipe at the Seabrook Station nuclear power plant in New Hampshire.

We test our products to ensure that they ship without defects. This helps reduce our scrap and warranty costs, and above all, create and deliver products that meet our customers’ needs.

Eddy current testing uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials.

Aircraft are the backbone of several industries and, as such, are subjected to intense and near-continuous use, making preventive maintenance critical. Maintenance protocols are exhaustive, but time-consuming, especially when fuselage and wing longerons are involved.

In keeping with its mission to continuously improve non-destructive testing technologies, UniWest has introduced the new EVi eddy current testing system. Developed in response to industry demand for a portable, high precision, operator-friendly eddy current system, the EVi augments UniWest’s best-in-class signal to noise ratio technology with real-time imaging of the surface under inspection.
