By Kevin Conlin, Kaman Precision Products To get the most out of eddy current sensors, follow these tips for reducing errors that can affect a measurement’s accuracy. Pay attention to circuit selection, placement, calibration and mounting.

The task was to measure the wear on the power rail to ensure it was not worn beyond the conductor rail. This would cause a loss of connection and stuttering of the train, which in turn leads to disruptions and an uncomfortable ride for commuters. Previously, the track bed geometry was checked through visual inspection by the operator.
