The Grade Sorting Testing Section is a fully automated, eddy current–based solution designed for the non-destructive verification of material grade, alloy composition, and heat treatment condition. It supports both inline and offline operation, making it ideal for wires, bars, tubes, and billets at any stage of production or quality control.
Using advanced eddy current impedance analysis, this system detects subtle changes in the material's electromagnetic properties—such as electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability—allowing manufacturers to confidently sort materials into acceptable or reject categories. Whether you're preventing grade mix-ups or ensuring uniform heat treatment, this solution brings traceable, real-time inspection to your production line.
✅ Inline or Offline Integration
Flexible installation for use either at final inspection stations or embedded within continuous production lines.
✅ Eddy Current Grade Detection
Detects structural and alloy variations through impedance plane analysis, aligned with ASTM E566 standards.
✅ Alarm Logic with Smart Zoning
Three user-defined impedance zones with OR-logic determine part acceptability with precision and speed.
✅ Visual Ellipse Masking
Graphical ellipse masks help define accept/reject boundaries on the impedance plane, reducing interpretation errors.
✅ MES and Industry 4.0 Ready
Easily integrates with MES systems and supports data-driven manufacturing through real-time connectivity.
✅ Automated Part Handling & Sorting
Includes material presence detection, auto height adjustment, and dual sorting channels (Accept / Reject) for reduced operator workload.
✅ Configurable Line Parameters
Adaptable settings for encoder input, saw distance, reject count, and more—customized for your application during commissioning.
✅ Marking Output (Optional)
Hardware-ready for triggering industrial spray marking units to label out-of-grade materials directly on the line.
✅ Advanced Software & Reporting
Real-time signal visualization, part counts, and long-term trend monitoring help maintain quality control and improve process insight.
✅ Standards-Based Confidence
Test and sorting logic based on ASTM E566, ensuring validated performance and compatibility with industry requirements.
