Overview

AC flux leakage systems use two magnetization yokes and alternating current to induce an alternating magnetic field.
Without contact, these yokes magnetize the test material in the transverse direction.
The magnetic flux is concentrated on the material’s surface due to eddy current effect, and is particularly sensitive to minor surface defects since the operating probe examines a very small portion of the entire surface at any one moment.
MAC’s® Rotoflux® AC Flux Leakage Tester was designed for use with materials such as hot rolled black bar and can find defects as small as 0.1mm deep, depending on the material condition.

Superior Technology and Performance:

The Rotoflux^® AC is based on MAC Rotoflux^® technology, which incorporates wireless signal transfer features to minimize noise while maximizing sensitivity.
Provides full quadrature detection to preserve phase selectability, choice of all phase and chord gates, similar to conventional eddy current tester.
Two surface ride Probe Arrays, consisting of 8 elements each, can cover up to 160mm per rotation.
Operates up to 1500 rpm, depending on product diameter.
Provides throughput speed of up to 4m/s (800 FPM) with larger diameters requiring slower FPM.
Models designed to test hot rolled bar from 15mm to 180mm in diameter.

Wireless signal transfer minimizes noise while maximizing sensitivity.
Detect longitudinal flaws as small as 0.1mm deep on hot rolled bars and rods.
Provides full quadrature detection to preserve phase selectability, choice of all phase and chord gates, similar to conventional eddy current tester.
New Probe screen with sensitivity and phase adjustment for each individual channel.
2 surface ride Probe Arrays consisting of 8 elements each cover 160mm per rotation.
Operates up to 1500 rpm, depending on product diameter.
Throughput speed of 4m/s (800 FPM) with larger diameters requiring slower FPM.
