SECTION 1: EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS
SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL
This manual provides essential information required for installation, operation, and maintenance of standard
Magnaflux CSV Series Stationary Power Pack Magnetic Particle Inspection Machines.
PURPOSE OF THE EQUIPMENT
The equipment is used to inspect ferromagnetic parts by means of the magnetic particle inspection method.
Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) is a non-destructive method for revealing surface, and, under certain
conditions, sub-surface discontinuities. It consists of three basic operations:
1. Application of magnetic particles.
2. Establishment of a suitable magnetic field.
3. Inspection and evaluation of particle accumulations.
Discontinuities may exist in raw material from which parts are made, or, they may occur during processing or
fabrication of the parts, or, they may exist as cracks due to excessive service stresses. Discontinuities are
considered defects if their existence is detrimental to the usefulness of the part. Magnetic particle inspection
can readily and reliably locate discontinuities revealing manufacturing and/or service-induced defects.
EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS
Stationary power pack magnetic particle inspection units consist of a power pack that provides low-voltage,
high-amperage 3-phase full wave direct current for magnetization, and reversing 3-phase full wave direct
current for demagnetization on output 1. Demagnetization on outputs 2 and 3 is an Optional Feature.
The output current levels are governed by 3 separate current controls. Selection of outputs 1, 2, and 3 is done
through a color touch screen operator interface. A push button next to the operator interface initiates the timed
magnetizing current “shot.”
A digital ammeter provides a reading of the magnetizing current. The reading is held until the next current
“shot” is initiated.
Pertinent data (e.g., the unit’s serial number, electrical specifications, and duty cycle rating) may be found on
the
Magnaflux Data Plate,
located on the front side of the unit.
