Equipment details.
Workpiece support and clamping for shaft inspection.
Fixtures for stepped and long shafts.
Length, diameter changes, shoulders and end features guide shaft support and clamping. The full part range helps identify fixture changes and loading needs.
Access to the inspection surfaces.
Clamping and magnetization follow the inspection procedure, while the viewing position gives the operator access to examine relevant surfaces. Loading direction and unloading are planned alongside the inspection station.
Prepare your shaft inspection enquiry.
Share drawings, material grade, inspection areas and required output. Add any demagnetization limit and the required residual-field measurement points.
Your equipment
questions, answered.
Find answers about materials, part handling and inspection or cleaning processes.
Which materials are suitable for magnetic particle inspection?
Magnetic particle inspection is used for ferromagnetic components, including suitable steel and iron parts. Aluminium, copper and other non-ferromagnetic materials require a different inspection method.
Include the material grade and manufacturing condition with your enquiry.
What component information is needed for an MPI system?
Send drawings showing the complete part range, dimensions, weight, shoulders and end features. Mark the surfaces that need inspection and any restrictions on clamping or electrical contact.
For multiple part sizes, include the smallest and largest variants.
How are the magnetization settings selected?
The material, component shape and inspection procedure guide the current type, field direction and magnetization settings. Include the required inspection areas and acceptance criteria with the workpiece drawings.
The fixture and magnetization arrangement are selected together for the component.
How does operator inspection fit into automated MPI?
The equipment can coordinate loading, clamping, magnetization, particle application and transfer. An operator examines the fluorescent indications and determines the result using the inspection procedure.
Production output includes the time for workpiece handling and operator inspection.
Can the equipment use manual or mechanical loading?
Manual loading, mechanical handling and production-line connections can be considered for the component and required output. Part orientation, fixtures and transfer height guide the loading arrangement.
Include the incoming and outgoing part flow with your line layout.
What information is needed for demagnetization?
Include the residual-field limit, units, measurement method and measurement points. Component material, previous magnetization and the next operation help select the process and handling.
For a new part family, representative components help evaluate the demagnetization process.
What drawings are useful for shaft inspection?
Include shaft length, diameter changes, shoulders, end features, weight and inspection areas. Add the material grade, manufacturing condition and intended loading direction.
Drawings for the full shaft range help plan fixtures and changeover.
Can one system inspect several ring sizes?
A shared arrangement can be considered across the complete ring range. Inner and outer diameters, thickness, weight and inspection surfaces guide fixtures, magnetization and operator access.
Provide the smallest and largest ring drawings, along with any section changes.
