How Eddy Current Works

Eddy current probes measure subtle variations in back-induced currents in a specially shaped pickup coil to detect minute, near-surface irregularities in metal structures. Good targets for eddy current testing include bolt holes, welds, and other joints. Check out the robots that use the eddy current system below:
