Magnetovision camera

For over a decade our team has developed several generations of magnetic cameras and scanners. These devices can take magnetic images of materials subjected to various kinds of treatment, mechanic loads and phase transformations. The availability of advanced thin-film magnetic field sensors and the introduction of motion processors incorporating a real time operation system (RTOS) allowed us to build a third generation of magnetovision camera capable of the 3D visualization of the magnetic field vector. The scanner features a range of state-of-the art sensors and a dedicated software (Maglab).

Maglab software

The main features of the Maglab software:

- three windows showing the distribution of the three magnetic field vector components in the scanned area,

- a Camera window showing a map received from the optical sensor,

- high resolution of the maps,

- the possibility of displaying multiframe projects as movie,

a built-in module for creating and selecting the best spectrum of colours to represent the determined distributions;

- a Hysteresis module enabling the generation of waveforms in specified coordinates and time domain,

- the Magscanner/Maglab software package enables further processing and visualization of the magnetic field distribution maps in a CAD software.

Applications

The system can be used to:

- investigate magnetomechanical phenomena,

- identify magnetomechanical models in expe-

rimental mechanics,

- detect and locate the strain fields, areas of plastic deformations and cracks in the materials used in industrial processes,

- measure the magnetic field around objects subjected to technological processing in order to check their quality.
