MAC INTRODUCES NEW
ROTOMAC® 25RM EDDY CURRENT ROTARY
Cost-Effective Eddy Current Rotary for Testing Wire & Rod
The Rotomac®25 RM is the latest in MAC’s line of eddy current rotaries. Packaged with our Minimac® II eddy current electronics, it provides cost effective, reliable on-line inspection for longitudinal surface defects in wire, rod and heavy wall tube, 3 to 25mm diameter.
Operating at 1200 RPM, it is designed for use in cold header operations, spring making, strut rod production and similar slow throughput operations.
Other features:
Throughput speeds up to 12 meters per minute
Out-of-round product can be inspected using our highly accurate distance compensation with absolute test probes
Standard single phase 120 VAC operation
Bushings keep product centered for a more accurate test
New air ride probe arm design, with convenient, easy access probe adjustment

EDDY CURRENT TECHNOLOGY IN NDT
MAC’s® Eddy Current Testing (ECT) systems incorporate computer-based test instruments and test coils that use two ECT coil technologies: encircling and sector coils, and spinning or rotary probe coils.
- Encircling and sector Eddy Current coil tests perform in this manner:
- The product is passed through or adjacent to an electrical test coil, which has been excited by an alternating current.
- This induces a flow of eddy currents around the test material or in the case of a sector coil, in the area under the coil.
- Short, intermittent anomalies or flaws cause a variation in the eddy current pattern, which the instrument detects.
