Efficient Tes�ng Solu�ons Data Sheet- EddyCus® CF inline GAP Inline Detec�on of Hidden GAPs The EddyCus ® CF inline GAP system is an inline system designed for the non-contact and continuous testing of non-crimp fabrics. A unique feature of the system is the ability to measure subsurface defects in a mul�-layer stack. During the material production process, the testing system utilizes the electrical conductivity of the carbon fibers in order to detect gaps, measuring the width of such gaps right down to a resolution of just 0.5mm. Furthermore, the system is able to capture the fiber orientation per ply and loose tows can be detected. Tape width can also be measured using SURAGUS eddy current tes�ng technology. The EddyCus ® system consists of either a moving set of sensors or of a fixed sensor array with the system being customized to the production width e.g. 50“ or 100“ (and can also be retrofitted to existing textile machines). Additionally, SURAGUS can provide a turnkey solu�on involving complete machine integra�on. Using this non-contact measurement system enables smart production in compliance with aviation and automotive quality standards.
