Abstract:
1. A test apparatus for testing elongated objects using a feed-through method with a feed-through coil arrangement with at least one feed-through coil for feeding through an elongated object in a feed-through direction comprising: a securing device that secures the feed-through coil arrangement in a test position, wherein the securing device permits movements of the feed-through coil arrangement transversely with respect to the feed-through direction, and by a guide device for adjusting the location of the test position of the feed-through coil arrangement as a function of the location of the object passing through the feed-through coil arrangement, wherein the securing device has a coil holder for attaching the feed-through coil arrangement and a base element for attachment to a component which is permanently connected to a machine base of the test apparatus, wherein the coil holder is connected to the base element via a movable connecting device such that the coil holder can move with respect to the base element in at least two spatial directions extending transversely with respect to the feed-through direction, and wherein the connecting device has two pairs of pivot joints with pivoting axes which are respectively oriented perpendicularly with respect to one another.
