About K+D Flux-Technic
K+D Flux-Technic GmbH + Co. KG from Mögglingen in the Ostalb district is a specialist in surface crack testing using the magnetic particle method (MT) and the penetrant method (PT). The company independently plans, designs and manufactures devices, systems and accessories for non-destructive materials testing, including stationary universal crack test benches of the ACY and ACC series, mobile current generators, UV-LED lamps, demagnetization coils and measuring devices according to DIN EN 9934. In addition to its standard range, K+D builds custom systems to customer specifications, including belt and drum automation systems for the automotive industry, systems for wheelset and brake disc testing in the rail sector, and ring testing systems for wind power plants. More recent developments include fully automated penetrant lines and crack testing systems with optoelectronic crack detection for complex production lines with automated part evaluation. The company is a recognized training facility of the DGZfP for qualification as a testing operator according to DIN 54161 and offers maintenance, service and used equipment sales. Supply industries include the automotive industry, rail, aerospace, the energy sector and plant engineering.
