The High-Resolution Magnetic Camera: A Novel Sensor for Eddy Current Testing

Hannes Bleuler, Marco Picasso, Pavel Kejik, Roland Moser, David Florian Hippert

Eddy current techniques are often used to detect and, in some advanced applications, to characterize fatigue surface-breaking cracks appearing in mechanical parts. One of the major difficulties in this approach is to reliably separate the crack contributio ...

Characterization of Surface Cracks Through The Local Magnetic Field Induced by Eddy Currents

Hannes Bleuler, Marco Picasso, Pavel Kejik, Roland Moser, David Florian Hippert

It is important to reliably characterize cracks in metallic mechanical parts in order to assess the serenity of damage due to fatigue. The most important parameter for this is the crack depth. This is notoriously difficult with standard Eddy current techni ...

Tubulo - a train-like miniature inspection climbing robot for ferromagnetic tubes

Francesco Mondada, Hannes Bleuler, Gilles Caprari, Roland Moser, Frédéric Rochat, Patrick Schoeneich

A train-like miniature climbing inspection robot for ferromagnetic tubes is presented in this paper. Using magnetic wheels, it climbs in tubes of 25 mm of diameter and bigger in any orientation, and pass bends with curvatures above 150 mm in some cases. It ...

Preliminary Investigations on a Diamagnetically Levitated Linear Conveyor

Hannes Bleuler, Roland Moser, Dominique Chapuis, François Barrot, Laurent Sache

Diamagnetic levitation is the only passive levitation at room temperature. It is interesting to use this principle for a contactless conveyor in applications where friction and wear-particle contamination should be avoided such as in a microfactory. Using ...
