MAGNE-TECH® 4,000 and 6,000 Amp Mobile Magnetic Particle Inspection Units
Features/Benefits
- Meets Military & Industry Specifications
- More output per unit weight & size
- 4,000 and 6,000 amp HWDC and AC
- Infinitely variable current control
- Digital ammeter with hold feature
- Fast, effective automatic AC demagnetization
- Thermal overload protection
- Rugged duty cycle
- Ideal for overall magnetization applications
- Simple to operate
- All controls recessed for damage control
- Ideal for localized prod and cable use
- Remote control feature operation available
- Storage well on top for cables and materials
- Convenient 115V outlet
The Model 1540 weighs less than 400 pounds and the Model 1560 weighs only 550 pounds, producing excellent output per unit weight . Both units can be easily rolled around on their 8-inch heavy duty swivel casters, or can be maneuvered with a forklift. Each unit is equipped with four lifting rings for overhead crane transport.
Remote Option
A special remote-control unit is available for use with the Models 1540
and 1560. It provides control of the magnetizing and demagnetizing
current from a convenient hand-held unit. A remote On-Off switch on the
front panel of the machine provides for quick selection of local or
remote-controlled operation.
Key Applications
for Magne-Tech® Mobiles:
These self-contained, mobile unites can be moved or rolled anywhere in
shop, foundry, refinery, petrochemical plant or manufacturing facilities
to detect surface and near surface cracks by the MPI method.
The Magne-Tech® Models 1540 and 1560 provide 4,000 and 6,000 ampere, respectively, of alternating or half-wave direct current. Both localized and overall magnetization can be employed when inspecting diverse magnetic materials. The demagnetizing process is as simple as pushing a button with cables in place.
Simple to Operate
All operating controls and indicators are located on the recessed front
panel. The easily read ammeter shows magnetizing current in either AC or
half-wave DC operating modes. The AC mode minimizes background
interference, permitting high sensitivity, speed, and accuracy of surface
defect identification. The DC mode provides increased magnetic field
penetration for detection of near surface discontinuities. A current
adjustment control permits precise adjustment of the magnetizing current.
The ammeter is protected against damage from rough handling, and all units
are protected against overheating.
