Rolling Contact Fatigue Crack

HCScan MF

HCScan MF

Multifunctional hand-operated rolling contact fatigue crack (HC) measuring device

  • The HCscan MF is a compact, handheld instrument using the eddy current measuring principle, ideal for HeadCheck inspection of railway rails (rail and frog materials)

  • Besides general eddy current functions, it measures the thickness of non-magnetizable coatings and the conductivity of non-ferromagnetic materials

  • It can inspect rail sections with up to 500 cracks per meter

  • The measurement results are displayed both graphically and numerically on a 7" touch screen

  • The device features built-in batteries but it can also be powered externally

  • The stored measurement data can be accessed via a PC download program using a Bluetooth, USB, or Ethernet connection 

  • Data can be exported to MS Office-compatible spreadsheets
