UniWest introduces the EVi eddy current testing system. Developed in response to industry demand for a portable, high precision, operator-friendly eddy current system, the EVi augments UniWest’s best-in-class signal to noise ratio technology with real-time imaging of the surface under inspection. The result is a surface flaw detection system that provides conventional eddy current charts, graphs or plots, in multiple display modes, alongside a real-time visual image of the surface area under inspection. For operators, the easily accessible on-screen information speeds discernment of surface conditions at the same time it greatly improves detection of cracks and other discontinuities. The EVi offers a set of heretofore unavailable capabilities for bolt-hole, surface, flush-rivet, weldment and interface scanning. When used in conjunction with UniWest’s ECS-5 Bolt-Hole Scanner, the EVi enables full surface imaging bolt-hole inspection of previously inaccessible surface areas, including complex, multi-stack and multi material stack-ups. Together, the EVi/ECS-5 provide rotary and linear scan-motion indexing at scan resolutions between 3 and 30 mil in 1 mil increments. Scan motion indexing can be applied at rotations between 500 to 3,000 rpm, adjustable in 10 rpm steps, at constant torque throughout the speed range. For more information visit www.uniwest.com/evi/.
