I am looking at an application where I will need to detect small hairline cracks in stamped metal parts. The sensing will need to be done in the stamping die in the press. The cracks will be of a hairline nature and could be anywhere from 5mm to 30mm in length.
Originally I was looking at a camera system but I have been told that eddy current sensors can be used for this. I have hesitations about putting a camera into a stamping die as well.
Anyone have any experience with this type of application using an eddy current sensor and can provide any kind of insight?
