Regula 7505M Vehicle VIN Number Recovery

The Regula 7505M is a dedicated device for non-destructive examination of metal surfaces for authenticity verification and detection of vehicle VIN number falsification.  It provides a rapid, repeatable, clean and safe method of VIN recovery compared to acid etching.

The Regula 7505M is constructed in a protective case as a mobile complex which comprises a USB device for magneto-optical imaging, a magnetic copying tool kit, a spectral luminescent magnifier Regula 4177.

Functionality

Magnetic copying tool kit –  The tool kit comprises a combination magnetic scanner-demagnetizer with a set of replaceable concentrators, magnetic tape clamps, magnetic tape cartridges, etc.

Making a copy of magnetic stray fields distribution over the object surface using magnetic tape. The copy displays relief and structural material inhomogeneity.

Demagnetizing magnetic tapes for further use.

Marking, storing and transportation of a ready-made magnetic tape reserve and obtained magnetic copies.

USB device for magneto-optical imaging – It is constructed as a module built in the device case.

Magneto-optical imaging of data recorded on magnetic tape as an intermediate carrier.

Converting a magneto-optical image into a digital TV signal.

Step-by-step scanning of magnetic tape with the help of the tape drive and obtaining a panoramic image.

Indicating the status of device systems

Spectral luminescent magnifier Regula 4177 —The magnifier is provided in the kit and is used for authenticity verification of vehicle related documents.

Case — for the magneto-optical visualization module and other device components.

NUCA software — The software is used for loading and processing images of identification numbers:

• Comparing image fragments
• Measuring linear and angle dimensions
• Saving and printing obtained image

Principles of operation

The magnetic scanner records a magnetogram which is a recording of magnetic stray fields on magnetic tape. The obtained magnetogram is placed in the USB device for magneto-optical imaging where the data about an object surface is read out. The read-out data from the object surface is converted into a digital signal which is sent to a PC for examination and processing with the help of NUCA software.
