About us
FOERSTER - Your partner for non-destructive material testing
Since 1948, the name FOERSTER has been synonymous with highest quality and precision. We develop and produce instruments and systems for the non-destructive testing of metallic materials, metal detection and magnetics.
With electromagnetic testing methods such as eddy current or flux leakage testing, but also by means of ultrasound and inductive heat flow thermography, we, as technology leader, make surface defects visible. Using highly sensitive fluxgate magnetometers, our detection devices also locate precisely contaminated sites, UXO and archaeological artefacts. Instruments for determining magnetic properties and for hardness testing of metallic components round off our comprehensive portfolio.
In addition to the development of individual instruments, our expertise lies in the implementation of complete, customer-specific test lines and their automation. With our Business Solutions we offer you additional comprehensive services. We see ourselves as a partner for the entire product life cycle: from development, design and production to service and training.
Our qualified sales and service network is active for you in more than 60 countries worldwide. Making quality visible.

Products & Services
Semi‑Finished Product Testing Overview
FOERSTER offers a comprehensive suite of inspection systems for semi‑finished wire and tube products, ensuring high-quality standards through advanced non‑destructive eddy current and magnetic testing methods.
Ultra-precise defect detection: through advanced eddy current and flux leakage technologies
Full production integration: compact, modular systems install easily in-line
High-speed, high-throughput: maintaining production flow without quality compromises
Compliance-ready: supporting major international standards
Scalable solutions: from the finest medical-grade wire to large industrial tubes
Reliable quality control and reproducible testing combined with great economic efficiency
The DEFECTOMAT systems by FOERSTER were specially developed for quality testing and process monitoring of long products. From hot testing to all bright steel processing steps, the surfaces of semi-finished products made from austenitic, (non) ferromagnetic metals can be tested for defects. The DEFECTOMAT systems operate in a contactless and non-destructive manner in accordance with the eddy current method and are used for detecting short defects, such as holes or localized defects and transverse defects. The systems detect defective materials fully automatically and reliably. Defects can be marked, classified, and automatically discarded. the test speed of up to 150 m/s facilitates 100% testing, even at high production speeds. The systems benefit from low operating costs and frugal energy consumption as well as low maintenance costs, few wear parts, and low use of materials.
CIRCOFLUX DA
Precision is our strength, as the CIRCOFLUX sensor systems with rotating probes reliably detect small surface defects of 0.1 mm or greater. Due to the alternating field magnetization, an additional demagnetization is not necessary. The three available sensor systems cover a material diameter from 10 - 220 mm. This makes them suitable for a wide range of test tasks and ensure maximum effectiveness of AC flux leakage testing with throughput speeds of up to 4 m/s.
With the CIRCOFLUX evaluation electronic equipment by FOERSTER, you are guaranteed to achieve reproducible crack detection for hot rolled ferromagnetic steel bars thanks to the automatic adjustment processes. Integrated diagnostic functions ensure accurate automatic test results as well as high-precision testing of the surface of black materials for longitudinal defects. The unit is operated via an intuitive and modern touchscreen in the popular FOERSTER design.
Phased-array ultrasonic testing makes hidden defects in bars visible
The BARPROOF is featuring precise non-destructive testing of your bars using phased-array ultrasound.
Well balanced probe sets with high sensitivity detecting smallest internal defects as well as surface and near-surface defects on bars with bright and hot-rolled surfaces.
A selection of different probe sets ensures maximum flexibility: the BARPROOF 140 covers a diameter range from 10 to 140 mm in just one housing size.
The consistent omission of rotating components significantly reduces the maintenance effort and wear part costs for the appliance.
Your advantages at a glance
Single-source solution: We offer you the test instruments and test line for comprehensive and thorough inspection of bars with bright or hot-rolled surfaces, including service.
Reproducible defect detection, high throughput: Detection of surface and internal defects as well as near-surface defects at test speeds of up to 2 m/s.
Proven phased-array ultrasonic electronics: Includes industry-proven evaluation software and sensitive phased-array probes.
Low maintenance: The absence of rotating components ensures minimal wear.
Fast retooling when changing dimensions: Simplified device design and storable test settings shorten changeover times.
FOERSTER Instrumentation Software: Optional integration for centralized display of test results.
