Magnetix MGN3

Applications

Our MAGNETIX series of battery-powered magnetic particle inspection yokes was specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of field-based magnetic particle testing.

This type of inspection presents several challenges, including the need for autonomy, system safety, performance, reliability, and ergonomics. Compactness is also essential for freedom of movement, and the magnetic yoke system must be lightweight enough for prolonged, comfortable use.

With a new form factor and advanced technologies, this latest version of our magnetic particle equipment addresses all these needs. Additionally, the choice to use a 42V operating voltage significantly enhances electrical safety for the user.

Many clients prohibit the use of equipment exceeding 48V in metal enclosures, so this new battery-powered MPI mag yoke version is the ideal solution for this safety concern.

The ultra-innovative design of our new MAGNETIX version significantly enhances work comfort in field environments where space constraints and mobility are critical factors, such as rope-access magnetic particle inspections, confined space work, MT inspections on piping racks, scaffolding, and general on-site MPI inspections.

As with any portable power tool, the key advantage of no longer needing a power outlet is the freedom to move around without the risk of getting tangled on obstacles. This flexibility improves both ease of use and efficiency for your magnetic particle inspections.

Recognizing the recurring reliability issues with magnetic inspection equipment, particularly regarding yoke connectors, we have placed special emphasis on this aspect. Our solution provides a durable and robust mechanical design to maximize the strength and longevity of the system.

The MGN3 magnetic particle yoke kit represents the ultimate evolution of our battery-powered yokes, setting new standards in the industry.

Performance

Ease of Use

• Magnetic Field: Our advanced electronics combined with our high-performance magnetic yoke achieve tangential magnetic field levels that meet all market standards.
• Lifting capacity: The lifting capacities of our system easily exceed the minimum required 4.5 kg and are around 6 kg.
• Autonomy: The autonomy of our battery-powered magnetic particle yoke kit, when used at 25% of the 50% duty cycle (meaning the device operates for 25% of the total duty cycle), is up to 8 hours per battery set. For intensive use, where the MT yoke kit is used at 50% of the duty cycle (such as in workshop environments with continuous inspections), autonomy is reduced to up to 4 hours per battery set.

The MAGNETIX 42V AC combines a heavy-duty mag yoke with one of the highest real usage rates / duty cycle in the market and high-level power electronics to work under the most extreme conditions while maintaining top performance.
The duty cycle is set and managed by the microcontroller and is configured to 50%.

Ergonomics and Lightness

Safety

The ergonomics of our MPI battery yoke kit, the MGN3, have been extensively reworked based on customer feedback from previous versions. We’ve created a fully ergonomic system that sits as a belt around the inspector’s lower waist, complete with a support system to reduce lower back strain. The power driver is designed to be extremely slim, allowing it to navigate into tight spaces without concern about getting snagged. Its weight, design, and compact size makes our magnetic yoke an ideal tool for work in hard-to-reach areas.

We selected a 42V operating voltage to completely eliminate the risk of electric shock for operators, especially in degraded conditions where devices using voltages above 48V can pose a danger.

For example, a severed mag yoke cable during an inspection inside a metal enclosure.

Many clients prohibit the use of devices with voltages exceeding 48V in metal enclosures (storage tanks, vats, etc.).

The MAGNETIX 42VAC allows you to operate safely in all types of environments while delivering the best performance in the market of portable MPI kits.

Quality and Reliability

Our mechanical and electronic design choices are focused entirely on maximizing performance and reliability.

The polyurethane cables (resistant to tearing and most chemicals) are reinforced at all connections with strain reliefs and metal cable glands.

Our extensive experience and feedback have allowed us to develop a product perfectly suited for the most demanding field conditions.
