The company’s triaxially braided composite
standard and BackBone™ flyer bow
constructions are claimed to have greater
durability than layered/laminated designs,
allowing them to take more hits and endure
higher stress, yielding increased operating
life and less machine downtime.
The more aerodynamic BackBone ™ design
functions at lower power consumption and
higher TPM with improved wire quality and
a further reduction in bow breakage. Up to
40 percent less energy is used along with a
decrease in wire scrapped.

Magnetic Analysis Corp will be introducing
a new high-speed Rotomac® rotary eddy
current tester, and will display the new
affordable Minimac® 55 high performance
eddy current instrument.
The Rotomac® rotary is designed for ease of
use and superior performance in detecting
seam type defects in small diameter wire
and bar, including lines with continuous wire
operations such as drawing, spring-making,
parts forming, or in straight and cut.
Setting up distance compensation, a
critical feature for testing ovate wire,
is straightforward, and quick twist-on
bushings and dial in diameter adjustments
add to the convenient operation of this
rotary. MAC’s Multimac® eddy current
instrumentation, with two test channels,
completes the system.
Also featured will be the single channel,
compact, full feature Minimac® 55. This
versatile eddy current instrument includes
software controls for all functions including
phasing, filtering and sensitivity, all while
operating at speeds over 4,000 fpm.
The test results are displayed in full-color
polar and linear mode showing real time,
true waveform signals for easy review on
a separate on-site monitor or at remote
locations.
The track screen depicts the test product’s
length, with data on line speed, end
suppression, flaw tracking, piece count
and alarm routing.
Linear strip charts and complete test data,
as well as an unlimited number of settings,
can be stored, annotated and recalled
froma library on the internal storage device
or network.
