ETS2-77 Eddy Current Single Rail 8-Channel Flaw Detector for Track Inspection

• Lightweight and compact

Weight of the assembled flaw detector does not exceed 23 kg (50 lbs).

Overall dimensions of the assembled flaw detector are not more than:

• width - 900 mm
• length - 1730 mm
• height - 350 mm

The ETS2-77 flaw detector is a folding structure, which can be transported as it is a assembled in stowed position.

• ETS2-77 intended use

The ETS2-77 is intended for the mechanized inspection of rails and switches as well as confirmation of the results of a grinding application. The device is capable of testing a wide range of rail profiles.

The eddy current technology enables localizing the following surface defects:

• progressive transverse cracking (International Defect Code (UIC) 211);
• fissuring /scaling at the gauge corner (International Defect Code (UIC) 2223);
• shelling of the gauge corner (International Defect Code (UIC) 2222);
• wheel burn (International Defect Code (UIC) 225).

The eddy current rail inspection equipment ETS2-77 is capable of evaluating the vertical depth of the defect, thus allowing a more efficient management of rail defects. The inspector can easily decide on the defect removal method: grinding, milling or re-railing, which saves time and money.

Advantages

• ETS2-77 flaw detector advantages

• light aluminum frame;
• specialized abrasion-resistant ECPs allow to evaluate the oblique cracks with up to 3 mm vertical damage depth;
• 8 ECPs application allows to perform the control of the whole head rail surface in one run;
• individual spring-mounted fitting of each ECP;

• fast removal of the scanner during the transfer from one area to another;
• individual adjustment of ECP position;
• operating time – not less than 8 hours;
• specialized SW for setting up, testing and inspection results review

Software

• Program for setting up the EC channel

• Quick set up of all EC channel parameters – EC probe frequency, drive voltage, gain, filters, threshold level, sync type, etc
• Four independent threshold levels for automated defect triggering (ALARM) for each displayed area
• Saving the testing setups into the PC or tablet’s memory

• Program for the testing

• Real-time display of 8 EC probes information
• Recording the testing results into the PC or tablet memory
• Display of different types of information in the signal visualization area
• Re-calculation of the obtained defectograms

• Program for generating the names of railroads

Consists of the following components:
Railroads – Divisions – Sectors – Stages

• Program for reviewing the testing results
