Automated measurement system employing eddy currents to adjust probe position and determine metal hardness

Patent Prince, James M [Kennewick, WA]; Dodson, Michael G [Richland, WA]; Lechelt, Wayne M [Benton City, WA]

A system for measuring the hardness of cartridge cases employs an eddy current probe for inducing and sensing eddy currents in each cartridge case. A first component of the sensed signal is utilized in a closed loop system for accurately positioning the probe relative to the cartridge case both in the lift off direction and in the tangential direction, and a second component of the sensed signal is employed as a measure of the hardness. The positioning and measurement are carried out under closed loop microprocessor control facilitating hardness testing on a production line basis.
