Magnetic Analysis Corp will feature the new
MultiMac™ at wire 2008.
The Windows® based multi-mode MultiMac
eddy current tester operates with encircling/
sector test coils to detect short surface
defects, and/or with rotary test probes to
detect long, seam type surface defects. The
new multi-mode capability incorporates
all of the best features of MAC’s individual
encircling coil and rotary probe instruments
into one unit.
MAC’s Echomac® ultrasonic FD-4 electronics
with rotary transducers will also be exhibited.
The FD-4, with up to 32 independent test
channels, is suitable for any combination of
longitudinal and transverse flaw detection.
The new MultiMac includes up to eight
test channels, and a wide selection of test
parameters and special circuits to enhance
signal-to-noise ratio. Building on the
successful Echohunter® software graphics, the
instrument’s Test Screen displays one channel,
and the Multi-Screen provides a simultaneous
display of 1 to 8 channels.
The Test Screen provides all the information
needed to set up and operate MultiMac. Both
screens display simultaneous polar and linear
modes and all test parameters, including
thresholds.
Each channel on the MultiMac can be
individually configured with different
frequencies and different channel modes. For
example, ‘differential’ mode is used to detect
short weld-line defects, while ‘absolute’mode is
appropriate for long, continuous surface flaws
and open welds. A choice of three thresholds
per channel – All Phase, Sector, or Chord
– can be mapped to any of eight outputs,
independently configurable for time or distance
delay and normal reject or latched mode.
With these features, MultiMac can be used to
test a wide variety of non-magnetic products,
or inspect magnetic material by using
Direct Current saturation systems. A special
configuration of channels, based on flux
