DEUTROFLUX DEUTROMAT

KARL DEUTSCH has extensive expert knowledge in testing equipment and systems for railroad components.

The DEUTROFLUX UWS crack testing machine is available for axle shafts that are newly manufactured or revision-tested. For railroad wheels and wheel rims a DEUTROMAT system is preferably used. A high current coil is used to magnetize the wheels. The component is completely rotated once during the test to cover the entire surface.

Purchasing a testing machine is not economically reasonable in all cases. Hand yoke and current generator (type DEUTROPULS) as well as penetrant testing (type KD-Check) may be sufficient for the test task.

The combined magnetic particle crack detection allows the display of arbitrarily oriented surface cracks in iron, cast iron and ferromagnetic steel. With stationary testing machines, the test is performed inside the machine.

Testing in stationary machines can be partially or fully automated. Automated processes are possible for loading and unloading the machine, clamping of the workpiece, magnetization during rinsing and post-magnetization to stabilize the crack indication while the test media is draining.
