Abstract
A method for manufacturing a testing head of a non-destructive testing sensor based on eddy currents includes: optimizing a geometric design of coils of the testing head based on a criterion for minimizing an electromotive force induced in at least one coil having a receiving function and/or maximizing a variation, due to presence of a standard defect to be detected in a part to be inspected, of the induced electromotive force; optimizing the geometric design of the coils further based on at least one criterion for optimizing a further variation, due to a variation in distance between the testing head and the part to be inspected, of the induced electromotive force; optimizing geometric dimensions of each of the coils; and manufacturing the testing head in accordance with the geometric design of the coils carrying out the optimization.
