All of Criterion NDT’s eddy current instruments are designed to identify defects on your critical automotive or medical components, in real-time on your production line. Testing time is measured in seconds or fractions of a second, and integration with material handling systems is simplified using our eddy current instrument’s full industrial I/O capabilities.
CR-11 Eddy Current Test Instrument
Criterion NDT’s CR-11 single channel eddy current test instrument is specifically designed to find material defects such as cracks and flaws in components during production processes – in real-time. This helps you to quickly detect and separate flawed product, reducing scrap and warranty costs.
The CR-11 comes with a rugged, easy-to-use touch screen user interface which makes set up and operation quick and easy. Its rugged aluminum case and full industrial I/O make it perfect for in-line, industrial environments.

ST-11R Material Structure, Alloy, Thread and Assembly Verification Test Instruments
The Criterion NDT ST-11 is a purpose built, multi-frequency material structure test instrument. It was developed to quickly identify and sort product with improper heat treatment and material mix issues.
Users can also leverage the fast static testing functionality of the ST-11 for thread testing as well as some product assembly verification applications.
Issues such as clogged quench nozzles, loose tooling/fixturing, bent induction coils, incorrect heating cycles, power outages and the like can result in hardness, case depth and case pattern issues that are immediately detectable with the ST-11 on your production line.
An industry leading user interface, coupled with our unique Setup Assist feature, ensures all levels of production personnel can quickly establish ST-11s testing configurations and easily understand the test results.
The ST-11’s Industrial I/O provides the handshaking required to seamlessly work with today’s automation systems.
The ST-11’s modern electronics generate minimal heat, eliminating the need for external fans. This important feature keeps the dirty oily plant atmosphere out, minimizing downtime for repairs and extends the life of the instrument.
Let the ST-11 help you identify the unpredictable real world production problems, saving you time and money, before a spill and quarantine situation ruins your day!

InSite HT and CT Eddy Current Instruments
The InSite HT and InSite CT are multi-channel, multi-frequency eddy current instruments. They are both designed to operate at full production line speeds in tough manufacturing environments. Both the InSite HT and InSite CT are available in 2, 4, and 8 channel versions.
The InSite HT eddy current instrument helps you to identify improper heat treatment conditions such as shallow case depth, short heat, misplaced case, delayed quench, short quench, air-cooled, or no heat treatment. The InSite HT can be used to test for proper heat treatment on simple parts such as ball bearings and fasteners, as well as on complex components such as gears, wheel bearings, and axles. The automated eight-frequency, multi-channel test set-up allows for simultaneous inspection for multiple anomalies on a single component.
The InSite CT works with Criterion NDT’s custom probes allowing for testing of complex geometries such as bearings, gears, axles, pistons, and tubing.
