INTROCOR M-150

The scanner M-150 comprises magnetic system with powerful permanent magnet, sensor bar with 48 Hall generators, and the platform with the wheels. The air gap between magnetic poles and steel plate, as well as between sensor bar and steel plate is adjustable to reach the best sensitivity to defects and protect scanner from damage; the ergonomic design enables easy manipulation of the instrument. The implemented eddy-current sensors make the instrument possible to discriminate outer and inner surface defects. Design of the scanner allows inspecting plate areas close to the welded seam. The instrument consists of the MFL scanner and industrial tablet PC, which controls the operation of the equipment, stores data, and makes downloading for analysis with the software Wintrocor.

PDU, which based of industrial tablet platform, is fixed on the main handle, and connected with the scanner. Alternatively, PDU can be located apart from the scanner and mutually connected with cable 10 m length. Following information is available resulting inspection.

With software Wintrocor inspection data are downloaded to a computer for analysis and mapping of scanned area. Inspection results are displayed in the following main forms:

• c-scan of the individual plate(s) with defects identification;
• trace of remaining thickness of steel plate;
• trace of the thickness of protecting coating;
• location of defect – outer or inner surface of the plate;
• map of the whole object, e.g. tank floor, with defects identification.

Software Wintrocor operates under Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7/8.1.
