Flawmark-GX

Flawmark-GX is an Industry-4.0 ready system for inspection of tubes, wires, bars etc

The World's first Industry 4.0 ready system for inspection of welded or seamless tubes, bars, wires and wire rods for short defects and open welds

Overview

Flawmark-GX is a major upgrade from Technofour utilising a breakthrough in signal processing technology that enables unparalleled stability and signal-to-noise performance. This eighth generation Flawmark redefines reliable Eddy Current Inspection of metal tubes, wires and bars.  Supporting completely touch-operated user interface, the system can transmit real-time data over internet or intranet. It can send email reports of work-shift statistics and events. SPC displays help production managers with inspection history up to past 24 hours.  The system can also be used to provide feedback to welding lines if the weld quality deteriorates from optimal condition.

Applications

  • Flawmark-GX can detect cracks, pin-holes, open welds, voids, inclusions, concentrated porosity, weld defects, slivers, opened up skin laminations, deep pittings as well as mechanical damage in metal tubes, bars and wires.
  • Ferromagnetic, non-ferromagnetic as well as austenitic materials can be inspected by the system in Online, Offline, Inline and Spool-to-spool configurations.
