EDC RAIL 5065 Eddy-Current Testing Machine is designed for automated non-destructive testing of railway rails by eddy-current method in the course of their manufacturing. The presence of surface defects such as outer surface cracks of the rail heads, flutings and railway rails base of R50, R65, R65K, 60E1, UIC60 types is tested according to GOST R 51685-2013, DIN EN 13674-1-2017.
Optionally, the Machine can include some equipment for testing of the side edges and rail head flutings according to the requirements of DIN EN 13674-1-2017.
The Machine consists of structurally stand-alone parts installed in the manufacturing process line:
1 – bearing bracket; 2 – body; 3 – mechanism of vertical plane-parallel motion; 4 – horizontal plane-parallel motion mechanism; 5 – system of sensor units; 6 – support roller; 7 – matrix with eddy-current transducers (ECT); 8 – side rollers; 9 – locking lever; 10 – screw fly wheel; 11 – lock nut-screw; 12 – screw; 13 – base plate of the bearing bracket; 14 – plate for the matrix fixing with eddy-current transducer (ECT); 15 – fly wheel locking screw
