Zero crossing detection on a circle
Some applications require to cut out a pole of a ring magnet, but the ring can be arbitrarily oriented along the angular direction, which makes it impossible to know where the poles will be exactly. In the 2DPlot Section cutouts can be defined based on zero crossings that are automatically detected
Read moreSome applications require to e.g. cut out a pole of a ring magnet, but the ring can be arbitrarily oriented along the angular direction, which makes it impossible to know where the poles will be exactly. In the 2DPlot Section cutouts can be defined based on zero crossings that are automatically detected.
Residual image
The output of the MagFit element in the network is the residual image. It can be visualized by adding a 2DPlot or surface Plot
Read moreThe output of the MagFit element in the network is the residual image. It can be visualized by adding a 2DPlot after the MagFit element.
The residual image shows all deviations from the fitted theoretical magnetic field distribution used in MagFit.
On the left is the measured magnetic field distribution. On the right is the same distribution zoomed around the pole value.
In the residual image, shown below, material defects and magnetization inhomogeneities are readily visible.
Rotor scan volume
The ‘Scan Volume’ group in the MagScope software defines the measurement volume. For the X and Z directions, the user defines the desired offset and range of the measurement. The Range for the X direction determines how many concentric scans are performed. The Range for the Z direction determines the axial scan length.
Read moreThe ‘Scan Volume’ group defines the measurement volume. For the X and Z directions, the user defines the desired offset (relative to the Z Reference position for Z and relative to the outer rotor surface for X) and range of the measurement. The Range for the X direction determines how many concentric scans are performed (at different radial distances). The Range for the Z direction determines the axial scan length.
The number of steps needed to cover the defined volume is instantly updated.
Pass/fail quality control
Using the quantitative results of a MagFit analysis, an additional pass/fail analysis can be easily and directly performed. For this the Python scripting module for MagScope is used.
Read moreUsing the quantitative results of a MagFit analysis, an additional pass/fail analysis can be easily and directly performed.
In the Python script, the results of a MagFit element in MagScope are accessed using the ‘Results()’ function of the ‘IElement’ class. In the return variable of this function, the results can be obtained and displayed.
Magcam engineers can assist our customers with writing Python scripts when desired.
3-Component plug-in
The 3D plug-in for MagScope adds the functionality for analyzing the full three-component magnetic field distribution recorded with the MiniCube3D magnetic field camera.

Rotor Scanner introduction
The Rotor Scanner is controlled by the MagScope measurement & analysis software, together with several plug-ins.
Read moreThe Rotor Scanner is controlled by the MagScope measurement & analysis software, together with several plug-ins. The software takes care of automated scanning and image stitching to display the magnetic field distribution of the complete rotor in one image. The analysis of the radial, tangential and axial magnetic field components (with MiniCube3D camera) can be performed in great detail.
It is possible to detect zero crossings automatically, count and measure the poles, check the uniformity and symmetry of north-south poles, perform a Fourier analysis of hamonics, etc.
Magnetization vector and angle measurement
The MagFit magnet analysis software module offers advanced Magcam data analysis capabilities for a complete characterization of uniaxial permanent magnets.
Read moreThe MagFit magnet analysis software module offers advanced Magcam data analysis capabilities for a complete characterization of uniaxial permanent magnets. By comparing the measured data with theoretical magnet models, MagFit can extracts the magnet’s full magnetization vector (Mx, My and Mz components) and its deviation angle from the main axis.
The first step in making a MagFit analysis is the measurement of a magnetic field image of the magnet under test using the Magcam magnetic field camera.
Saving settings and networks
When a network setup is configured for a specific measurement and /or analysis flow, it can be saved to a specific file, which can be loaded later again.
Read moreWhen a network setup is configured for a specific measurement and /or analysis flow, it can be saved to a file, which can be loaded later again.
To save a network to a file, select Save as… in the network’s context menu:
By default, MagScope will propose to save the file in the ‘C:/ProgramData/Magcam/MagScope/Presets/Custom’ directory. The ‘Presets’ directory is special, since files that are saved in this folder are directly available from the MagScope menu.
Crack Detection
The MagFit module integrated in the MagScope software can filter out the signature of cracks from the background field distribution and automatically detect cracks.
Gear tooth speed sensor magnets
The MiniCube1D camera instantly measures the Bz field distribution, which is the most important parameter in this application.
Dipole position sensor magnets
With the MagFit SW module, the magnetization vector magnitude and angle deviation can be accurately measured and analysed.
100% in-line production testing
The Magcam systems are very suitable for 100% automated in-line production testing and quality control.
Magnet batch testing
The Portal Scanner can be used to perform magnet batch testing with a semi-automated set-up using trays.
Linear encoder strip magnets
The detection of the pole peaks and zero crossings as well as the Fourier harmonics analysis is important in this application.
Multipole Rotary Encoder Magnets
It is important in this application to measure and analyze if the zero crossings and pole peaks are equal.
Permanent Magnet Rotors
Both small electric rotors for e.g. servo steering and larger rotors for e.g. electric vehicle (EV) drives are measured with Magcam’s Rotor or Combi Scanner.
2-Pole Rotary Encoder Magnets
For this application the in-plane Bxy field component is important and can be measured with the Magcam MiniCube3D camera.
