Eddy Current Array Flaw Detectors

Olympus manufactures ECA probes for a wide range of applications. Probes can be designed to detect a specific type of flaw or to conform to the shape of the part under inspection. Standard designs are available to detect defects such as cracks and pitting, and subsurface defects such as cracks in multilayer structures, as well as corrosion.

Probes can be made in different shapes and sizes to better conform to the contour of the part under inspection.

System-based array probes for in-line inspection applications.	Large-footprint probes are available for typical corrosion surveys applications.	Automated dovetail application with custom-shaped probes.

FlexArray Probe SeriesNEW

The Flexible Eddy Current Array probe is suitable for use in any market, its innovative flexible PCB design enables it to fit any curvature. This new probe can be used to perform a wide range of applications that were previously difficult to accomplish with eddy current.

Probes for Inspection of Friction Stir Welds

ECA probes for the inspection of friction stir welds are designed for near-surface defect detection with a preferred sensitivity to axial defect orientation. These probes are designed to monitor typical weld processes such as lack of penetration in friction stir weld applications.

Probes for Sub-Surface Corrosion and Crack Detection

ECA probes for sub-surface corrosion and crack detection are designed for corrosion detection under conductive material. For example, the inspection of lap joints on aluminum airplane skins; lap-joint inspection for corrosion detection between aluminum sheets; corrosion detection under thick aluminum lap joints (layers 3 and 4). In addition, these probes offer larger footprints for rapid scanning.

Probes for Surface Crack Detection

ECA probes for surface crack detection are designed to detect defects such as pitting and cracking. Defects can be located at fastener heads or in free areas. The detection can be done through paint or coatings.
