Abstract
This paper presents a method of detecting defects on metal plates using eddy currents generated from the motion of the probe. Instead generating a time-varying magnetic field with a time-varying current imposed on an excitation coil, this method uses a moving permanent magnet to induce Eddy currents in the metal plate. The system developed contains a rail to guide the probe at a near-constant speed, a permanent magnet, a giant magnetoresistor (GMR) based sensor and a position encoder to accurately measure the probe speed and position.
