Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC) Offers the Minimac® MAC® 40

Eddy Current Tester

 

MOUNT VERNON, NY/June 30, 2004 — Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC®) has introduced its latest design Minimac® MAC 40 eddy current tester, for simple, economical production line testing of tubing, bar, wire and parts.  The Minimac MAC 40 system can detect laps, seams, slivers, cracks, and weld line faults in magnetic and nonmagnetic grades of material at speeds up to 4,000 f.p.m.  The system is also designed for locating welds and continuity checking of single- and multi-conductor insulated wire and cable.

The Windows® based, single channel eddy current tester’s standard frequency range is 2.5 Hz to 200 KHz.  Optional extended range software can increase this to 2 MHz.  Sensitivity, phase, and filter are easily set while viewing a full color polar and linear display of real time test wave form signals on the optional monitor.  

The Minimac MAC 40 tester can save, annotate, transfer, or print test data on site or at remote locations using the keyboard or optional keypad and standard computer interface procedures. An infinite number of setups can be stored on the hard disk and recalled with the touch of a button.  Test reports can be created and edited for batch or setup information by the user in easy-to-use Excel® spreadsheet format.  With the addition of PC Anywhere® software, one or more of the testers can be completely controlled and operated from any computer on the company’s network.

The tester’s high frequency option includes an additional all-phase threshold, bridge drive, band pass filter, and a “system-not-ready” control of the common relay output.  Additionally, a sync input synchronizes the linear display to a rotary probe test mechanism, such as MAC’s Rotomac® rotary eddy current tester.

More information on the Minimac MAC 40 eddy current tester is available via the Internet at www.mac-ndt.com, or by calling (800) 4NDT-MAC (+1-914-699-9450).
