The MagSens provides automated impulses to structures and components and registers the signal shape of the mechanical impulse.

 

Description

The MagSens is an automated, electromagnetic impulse hammer. A time-variable TTL signal controls the acceleration of the hammer and thus the impact energy applied to excite the component. An integrated sensor registers the excitation signal and sends this back to a central evaluation unit. The hammer springs back to its initial position. The entire process takes less than 100 ms.

Example:

In the series production of deep-drawn sheet metal components, a test station is integrated behind a critical stage in the production process. Each component is then tested within milliseconds using the MagSens. The resultant signal is then automatically evaluated. If a component has a crack, this changes its rigidity, which in turn leads to an alteration in the signal registered. This means it is possible to provide individual non-destructive quality control for all components produced.
