Eddy Current versus Capacitive Sensor Technology
- Eddy current calibration is influenced by target material properties (Capacitive sensors are NOT)
- Eddy current typically output a nosier signal (Capacitive sensors are digitized at a 16-bit resolution)
- Eddy current are susceptible to drift (Capacitive sensors are very stable and repeatable down to 1 micro-inch or 0.025 microns)
- Eddy current calibration influenced by temperature of target material (Capacitive sensors are NOT influenced by temperature)
- Eddy current calibration influenced by magnetic fields near sensor (Capacitive sensors are NOT)
- Eddy current fields are wide and spread over several threads (Capacitive sensors fields are less the 0.008 inches or 0.2mm wide)
- Eddy current fields have both side and frontal sensing lobes (Capacitive sensors fields have NO frontal lobes and can be designed for the application)
- Eddy current cannot inspect a blind hole since the frontal lobe sees the bottom of the hole and not the threads
- Capacitive sensors can be designed to measure the last thread a few thousandths from the bottom of a hole
- Capacitive sensors can be designed to measure threads below the concial seat of a fuel or brake fitting
- Eddy current fields have proven unreliable for many world companies (they have switched to Capacitive sensors as their standard inspection method)
- Eddy current probes are delicate and damage easily (Capacitive sensors are made from solid tool steel or stainless steel and are industrial hardened)
- Eddy current systems use simple level monitoring (Capacitive sensors use a signature of the entire thread to insure all defects are found)
- Eddy current systems that try to use a signature approach only inspect a few degrees of the thread (Capacitive sensors inspection 360 degrees)
- Eddy current fields are immune to environmental conditions (Capacitive sensors require special packaging for some environments)
- Eddy current systems have to shift the control limits to ignore the effects of material changes (Capacitive sensors make sure the process in control)
