ISEND, S.A. - ' Ingeniería y Sistemas de Ensayos No Destructivos, S.A.'

Online testing of wire rod and hot rolled bars. Isolated and periodic defects.

For regular defects detection (about 90%) within the hot rolling process of long products, ISEND offers the HOTdiscover solutions.

HOTdiscover solutions use eddy current technology consisting of high sensitivity cooled concentric coils, allowing metal inspection at temperatures close to the melting point (up to 1200 °C) and at high speeds (up to 200 m/s).

Actually there isn't inspection speed limit, as this only affects the resolution of the solution. At the usual rolling speeds (generally less than 150 m/s), resolutions of less than a millimeter are obtained for defects detection.

EDDYEyes, based on artificial vision and eddy currents integration, is the ultimate solution for manufacturing processes of long products. Both technologies separately present some deficiencies that are solved when integrated.

EDDYeyes has an eddy current and a vision module. Eddy module belongs to one of the following families of ISEND's solutions_ HOTdiscover, ROTOdiscover, ENDiscover and WELdiscover. The operation mode is intuitive, accurate and practical. When a defect is detected by the EDDY system, this send a signal to the EYES system that take an image and relate this picture to the defect detected.

Advanced testing of cold formed long products. (Longitudinal defects).

ISEND's ROTOdiscover is the solution for longitudinal defects identification. ISEND's ROTOdiscover Contact version is the most advanced solution on the market for Black Bar.

With ROTOdiscover solution most of longitudinal defects can be detected. To its great strength and reliability must be added versatility, because there are different configurations for a wide range of needs. The ROTOdiscover solutions of ISEND allow inspection from 2 mm diameters with high reliability and can be configured properly for high and low frequency.
