Automotive Crack Detector – Lectroflux M40

Crankshafts, camshafts cylinder, heads, axles, gears and many other types of ferrous components can be quickly and thoroughly checked without special skills by the magnetic particle inspection method.

In typical operation, a crankshaft is placed on the vee heads, flooded with inspection fluid whilst given a shot of magnetising current, and then examined for longitudinal cracks. The coil can be moved over the part to check for circumferential cracks.

A wide range of optional facilities are available to extend the versatility of the crack detector to suit virtually any testing requirement, including engine blocks and parts too large to be accommodated on the machine. With a unique manual clamp fixture, nuts, bolts, con rods, stub axles, etc. can be easily tested.
