Use-cases

FOERSTER’s mobile testing solutions deliver fast, precise and non-destructive testing directly on the component. Compact probes and robust devices make it easy to test complex shapes, tight spaces and installed parts. Whether for crack detection, magnetic field, permeability and conductivity measurements or mobile hardness testing — users gain immediate clarity, reliable results and full flexibility in demanding environments.

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.

Flexible mobile testing — precise, efficient, reliable

Mobile testing where decisions are made

FOERSTER’s Business Unit Mobile Testing (MT) brings clarity directly to the component — exactly at the moment it’s needed. Whether inspecting a weld seam, evaluating a critical aerospace component or checking machinery in the field, mobile testing provides fast, reliable insight into material integrity. Compact devices, robust probes and flexible sensor technologies ensure that even complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas can be inspected with ease.

Immediate insight into surface conditions

For on-the-spot crack detection, the DEFECTOMETER M delivers high sensitivity with minimal effort. Automatic compensations ensure stable, trustworthy results, even for very small surface-breaking flaws. Conductivity and magnetic measurements integrate seamlessly into the workflow: SIGMATEST supports material sorting and heat-damage evaluation, while MAGNETOMAT and MAGNETOSCOP offer precise readings of flux density, permeability and subtle structural changes.

Mobile hardness testing and ultrasound – flexible, precise, intuitive

The SONODUR Product Family enables fast, non-destructive hardness testing with high repeatability – even on mounted components, complex shapes or delicate structures. As a complementary partner, SONATEST Devices extend the mobile testing portfolio into portable ultrasonic inspection.

One platform for versatile eddy current testing

FOERSTER’s TCM Platform brings multiple eddy current applications together in a single, rugged device. From deep-penetrating low-frequency inspection to high-frequency crack detection and conductivity testing, TCM adapts effortlessly to changing requirements. App-driven operation, automatic probe recognition and optional array technology create a powerful toolset that combines mobility, speed and precision in one system.
