These devices use the eddy current method to detect and document with maximum sensitivity and repeatability such surface defects as cracks and pores. Contactless operation makes this method ideal for use even on sensitive surfaces.

Another field of application is the testing of material properties to prevent mix-ups and for early detection of incorrect tempering conditions. These magneto-inductive systems are particularly suited for ascertaining surface hardness and hardening depth on diverse component geometries.

The CT testing instruments and systems have been developed specifically to meet the needs of the automotive industry and its first- and second-tier component suppliers. Companies worldwide rely on the superior testing capabilities provided by FOERSTER inspection technologies to verify the integrity of components critical to safety or long service life, such as wheel hubs, brake discs, camshafts, drive shafts and valves.
