4. If the spray nozzle has not been used in the last 10 minutes, allow bath to circulate through spray
nozzle for 10-15 seconds to clear any settled bath.
5. If machine is equipped with an Optional black light hood, lower hood to darken work area. Allow time
for your eyes to adjust to the dark (approximately 3 minutes).
6. Use spray nozzle to apply bath to the part.
7. As soon as the part (or part section) is thoroughly covered with bath, shut off the spray nozzle, and
immediately apply magnetizing current by pressing and releasing MAG push-button or Push Bar.
a. Current assurance will light and remain lit for duration of magnetizing shot
b. Digital Ammeter will display and retain applied current.
c.
NOTE:
This technique is called the “wet continuous method.” For long parts, it may be necessary
to inspect in sections, each with a separate bath application and current “shot.” The “wet residual
method,” which applies bath after the current shot, is recommended only for parts with high
magnetic retention.
8. Press and release foot switch to unclamp part.
9. Examine part for indications.
With Auto-Mag:
1. Clamp part as described in
PIECE PART SETUP
.
2. Press and release Auto-Mag button so light is bright.
3. Manually bathe the part, press and release the foot switch.
4. When foot switch is pressed, the part will be “magnetized” and released.
DEMAGNETIZATION
All controls and indicators are illustrated in 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5.
Demagnetization is generally performed after inspection. A safety feature prevents accidental energizing of the
magnetizing circuit during the demagnetization cycle.
1. If equipped with Auto-bath, press Auto-bath button to off. The button is dimly lit when off and brighter
when on.
2. Clamp test part between headstock and tailstock in same manner as described in Piece Part Set-up.
3. Set the CURRENT CONTROL to the same or a value slightly higher than setting used to magnetize the
part using AMPERAGE SETPOINT on the HMI.
