GE Inspection Technologies AutoSigma 3000 Eddy Current Tester (formerly Hocking Autosigma 3000) is designed for operator convenience.
The lightweight, battery powered unit is easy to carry and easy to hold during inspections. A large character, backlit display makes
reading easy even in low light conditions.
The AutoSigma 3000 has two alternative operating frequencies. The 500 kHz frequency allows inspection of thin materials using the standard probe.
The 60 kHz setting is the aerospace industry standard.
Low power circuitry gives up to 100 hours of operation from a single set of alkaline batteries, whilst temperature and lift-off compensation ensure
the accuracy of each measurement.
Flexibility of operation is also improved with the AutoSigma 3000 - the user can exchange probes in the field, without the need to return the unit to
base for probe matching. This system allows the instant replacement of damaged probes, and an easy transfer between the different diameter probes available.
The AutoSigma 3000 has an optional data logger facility, allowing the recording of up to 500 readings. The unit can also be connected to a PC for fuller report generation.
GE Inspection Technologies AutoSigma 3000 Eddy Current Tester Applications:
- Alloy identification and verification
- Verification of heat treatment in manufacturing & detect in-service heat damage (e.g. in aircraft)
- The detection of changes in material grade
- Metal sorting
- Determination of the density of powder metal parts
- Measure the electrical conductivity of material (wire, bus bars and conductors) during production & in-service
