Provided is a disclosure for a magnetic particle inspection system configured to generate a magnetic field for inspection of a part, comprising a programmable logic controller (PLC), a current source, and a current sensing device. The PLC may be configured to communicate an amperage signal, for amperage of an output current, to a current source, and communicate a first signal to the current source to output the output current. The current source may be configured to adjust the amperage for the output current based on the amperage signal, and output the output current upon receiving the first signal. The current sensing device may be configured to measure an output amperage of the output current, and communicate amperage information based on the output amperage to a signal conversion device. The PLC may, in response to feedback from the signal conversion device, update the amperage signal.

One example includes a current measurement system. The system includes at least two magnetic field sensors positioned proximal to and in a predetermined arrangement with respect to a current conductor, each of the magnetic field sensors being configured to measure magnetic field associated with a current flowing in the current conductor and provide respective magnetic field measurements. The system also includes a current measurement processor configured to implement a mathematical algorithm based on a Taylor series expansion of the magnetic field measurements to calculate an amplitude of the current based on the mathematical algorithm.

A magnetization unit magnetizes an object to be inspected. A magnetic powder adhesion unit applies a magnetic powder liquid and adheres magnetic powder to the magnetized object. An illumination unit illuminates a space containing the object with ultraviolet light. A first optical filter transmits a first wavelength that is a wavelength of the ultraviolet light. A second optical filter transmits a second wavelength that is a wavelength of excitation light of the magnetic powder undergoing excitation by the ultraviolet light. An image capture unit captures an image of a surface of the object to which the magnetic powder is adhered, in the space illuminated with the ultraviolet light, via the first optical filter and generates a first captured image, and captures an image of the surface of the object to which the magnetic powder is adhered via the second optical filter and generates a second captured image. An inspection unit inspects a visible first surface property of the surface of the object based on the first captured image, and inspects a second surface property of the surface of the object based on the second captured image, the second surface property being visually identifiable by magnetic particle inspection.
