Eddy Current Sensors
Eddy Current coils are used for a lot more than just flaw detection. Eddy Currents are also used in many line/automation applications to confirm tolerances, material properties, flow rates, etc. Eddy Currents are routinely used to monitor conductive components in manufacturing environments to help ensure processes are working as designed. Below are some images of eddy current testers and sensors used in various industries. (No links, just pics).
