The thickness of metal braces, such as used for saw blades, tin plate and in the automotive sector, can range from around 0.8 mm to 26 mm. FOERSTER provides various test systems for hot strip as well as cold-drawn strip:

PLATEPROOF: The PLATEPROOF test system is used for reliably testing hot strip for discontinuities in the material using ultrasound technology and automatically determines their number, dimensions, depth, and location.

CIRCOGRAPH with CIRCOSCAN: Specially developed for scanning flat materials for surface defects, CIRCOSCAN rotating discs provide results that can be analyzed using CIRCOGRAPH test electronics.

DEFECTOMAT: The DEFECTOMAT product family is used for testing semi-finished products for point and transverse defects in the material. Special probes are available for testing flat materials.

In order to measure permeability and magnetic flux density, FOERSTER also provides the MAGNETOMAT and MAGNETOSCOP measuring instruments.
