Lavender utilises Amigo 2 on ACFM courses
18/12/2020
Lavender International has recently collaborated with Eddyfi Technologies to provide students with the opportunity to use the latest alternating current field measurement (ACFM) equipment, the Amigo 2, on its ACFM courses last month.
Eddyfi Technologies offers a range of equipment solutions for ACFM, advanced phased array, ultrasonic testing, eddy current array and electromagnetic equipment, including instruments, sensors, software and robotic solutions, to key engineering industries.The Amigo 2 has an advanced signal acquisition and processing system that is able to process data for faster inspections and has a data range that is 14 times better than the original Amigo. This offers smoother higher-resolution indications that increase the detectability of small defects and the coating thickness through which operators can inspect.
In Lavender’s Level 1 and 2 ACFM course in November, its students had the chance to use the Amigo 2 to detect and size surface-breaking cracks in a variety of metal components through paint and coatings. The course is designed to address the complexities of a wide range of inspections in order to perform and supervise inspections, verify equipment settings, interpret and evaluate results according to applicable standards and prepare technicians for the challenges faced in the workplace.
The technique continues to gain recognition in the field of advanced non-destructive testing (NDT), offering the ability to test equipment without the need for the removal of non-conductive coatings and to test components with a greater coating thickness.
So far, Lavender students have achieved a 100% pass rate across all initial and recertification qualifications in ACFM this year.
