Smart inspection systems for reliable component quality

Product portfolio
Use-cases

FOERSTER's Business Unit Component Testing develops intelligent systems for the non-destructive testing of metallic components in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. Using advanced eddy current, magneto-inductive, thermographic, and magnetic measurement technologies, FOERSTER ensures 100% inspection of components with complex geometries. From automated crack detection to hardness and structure testing, Component Testing solutions guarantee maximum precision, process reliability, and product safety.

Use-cases

: Surface defects such as cracks, pores, or inclusions can compromise the strength, performance, and safety of materials and components. FOERSTER testing systems enable reliable, non-destructive crack detection – from semi-finished products to finished parts, across various materials and geometries.

Learn more
: Mix-ups of materials can occur even in automated production processes. FOERSTER testing systems enable fast, non-destructive identification of material types to prevent costly errors, tool damage, or safety risks – ensuring that only the correct material enters the next production stage.

Learn more
: Monitoring hardness and microstructure is essential to ensure that materials meet required performance and quality standards. FOERSTER testing systems enable fast, reliable, and non-destructive verification of material properties – directly in production or during maintenance.

Learn more
: Magnetic properties are key indicators of a material’s composition, quality, and processing state. FOERSTER measuring systems determine magnetic parameters with the highest precision – supporting reliable quality control, process optimization, and material research.

Complete testing competence for safety-critical components

Comprehensive testing technologies

The FOERSTER Component Testing unit delivers tailored systems for crack detection, hardness and structure testing, and magnetic measurement. With solutions like STATOGRAPH and STATOVISION, cracks on complex geometries are detected quickly and precisely using eddy current technology with intuitive C-Scan visualization. For components that are difficult to access, DEFECTOVISION CT applies induction thermography for contact-free, automatable crack testing.

Precision in material and structure evaluation

The MAGNATEST Product Family enables magneto-inductive testing for material mix-up, hardness, and structure verification, while KOERZIMAT systems precisely determine magnetic parameters such as coercivity and saturation polarization. The ZMAG CM pulse demagnetization unit ensures interference-free measurements and high test reliability.

Automation and smart system integration

Fully automated systems such as ROTO-PUSH and ROTO-SCAN achieve high throughput in 100% eddy current crack testing of cylindrical components and rings. The modular TCL platform forms the universal base for eddy current systems, combining multiple test functions in a single setup. For hybrid or customer-specific applications, FOERSTER provides custom mechanical solutions, sensor systems, and automation concepts such as MAGNAGATE or NDT COMBICELL.

Global service and customer partnership

From feasibility studies and commissioning to worldwide service and training, FOERSTER supports customers across the entire lifecycle. Every CT solution is engineered for long-term reliability and full integration into production – ensuring quality you can measure.
