Method and device for the non-destructive and contactless detection of flaws in a test piece moved relative to a probe

摘要

Method for nondestructive and contact-free detection of faults in a test specimen which is moved relative to a probe that detects a periodic electrical signal having a carrier oscillation whose amplitude and/or phase is/are modulated by any fault in the test specimen. The probe signal is filtered and sampled by a triggerablie A/D converter stage to obtain a demodulated digital measurement signal which is filtered using a digital frequency-selective adjustable second filter unit to obtain a useful signal which is evaluated to detect a fault in the test specimen. The A/D converter stage is triggered at a fraction of the frequency of the carrier oscillation selected as a function of the fault frequency obtained as the quotient of the relative speed between the test specimen and the probe and the effective width of the probe, and the frequency-selective second filter unit is adjusted as a function of the fault frequency.
