The FOERSTER DEFECTOMAT Product Family is designed for non-destructive eddy current testing of long products such as tubes, bars, wires, rods, and profiles. Developed specifically for quality testing and process monitoring in semi-finished product manufacturing, DEFECTOMAT systems enable reliable surface inspection of austenitic, ferromagnetic, and non-ferromagnetic metallic materials across different production stages, from hot testing to bright steel processing. The systems are used to detect short defects, localized defects, holes, transverse defects, and other surface-related irregularities that may affect product quality and process reliability.

Operating contactlessly and non-destructively according to the eddy current method, DEFECTOMAT systems support fully automatic defect detection, marking, classification, and rejection of defective material. With test speeds of up to 150 m/s, they enable 100% inspection even in high-speed production environments. Thanks to their compact and flexible design, modular system architecture, broad range of sensor systems, low operating costs, reduced energy consumption, and minimal maintenance requirements, DEFECTOMAT provides an efficient and adaptable solution for integrating reliable quality control into almost any production process.
