I have been tasked with finding a method (or methods) for inspecting stamped steel parts for cracking and delaminations. I am aware of the eddy current method (already used by two of our sister plants in Europe) but I'm not sure if this is the most current technology available.
Broad parameters are: Inspection of formed and piereced steel components (seat adjuster rails) approximately 500mm long by 100 mm wide, formed in 3 dimensions. Throughput required is > 1200 pcs/hour.
My preference would be equipment manufactured in North America (for service and training support) but I will also consider international suppliers if there is sufficient inducement (either through accuracy, cost, or a combination of factors).
Any recommendations?
