Metal alloy analyser makes debut at SENSOR+TEST

At the Sensor + Test Exhibition the sensor manufacturer Torque And More (TAM) is introducing a battery powered hand-held tool: The Ferro Detector. In the size of a standard Active Torque Sensing Module (30 mm diameter), TAM has developed a metal-alloy analyser that can determine if a shaft material is suitable for magnetic principle Torque Sensors.

The Non-Contact Torque Sensors from TAM (Active-2 and Active-3 technologies) work with any Ferro-magnetic material and can measure Torque and Bending forces from any shaft size. The Ferro-Detector from TAM determines within seconds what “is” and what “is not” Ferro-magnetic.

The hand held tool is useful when looking at an application where an Active Sensor has to be retrofitted, or when checking the stock of raw materials before tooling the Test-Object.

By pressing the activation button the Ferro-Detector cycles through an initialisation procedure and is then ready to analyse the test materials immediately.

While keeping the activation button pushed, the Ferro-Detector is then gently pressed against the Test-Object and within a very few seconds a multi coloured LED reports “suitable”, “not suitable”, and “critical”. Letting-go of the activation button is shutting-down the tool.

This is a nonabrasive and completely neutral solution to get an answer to an important question that may take otherwise a much longer to get or may accidentally permanently magnetise the Test-Object.

The Ferro-Detector is part of the TAM flagship A3-P Standard Torque Sensor Kit and can also be purchased separately.
