QUALITY GRADING SOFTWARE

User Configured Grading of Rod & Wire Segments or Coils During Production

MAC’s Grading Software option provides a convenient, efficient means of automatically categorizing the quality level of individual segments and entire coils of metal wire, rod and bar during production. Using the Multimac^® or Minimac^® 55 eddy current instrument, the customer can customize the defect types, each based on a specific threshold gate, specify the maximum number of defects for each grade level, and configure reports. Surface defects as well as inclusions are detected and categorized.

• Use with Multimac^® or Minimac^® 55 eddy current testers.
• Characterize the product based on the number and type of surface defects and inclusions in a given segment or coil.
• Customer specifies the maximum number, type of defect signals, and a color code for each grade level.
• Each type of defect is detected by a specific gate in the instrument, and is counted in a separate counter (up to 24).
• At the end of a shift or day, the grade data for each coil tested can be reported.
• Each coil can be tagged with a unique coil ID and grade.
• Section length can be defined in metric or english mode.
• Reports including coil ID, grade, date, time, production line, test instrument, and total defect count for each designated type are provided in a CSV file, easily interfaced with customer databases. Multilingual support is available.
• Automatically print a simple Coil Report Label after completion of each coil test.
• Manually print customer selected data, such as coils tested during the current shift, configuration, number, grade and type of defects found.
