MAC Introduces New ECHOMAC®
25mm UT Rotary Tester
Magnetic Analysis Corp. has just received customer pre-acceptance on its latest
Ultrasonic Rotary Tester, the Echomac® 25mm. The customer is one of the largest
bar finishing processors for the medical industry in the world.
The system was supplied with our Echomac
FD-6A electronics, triple pinch bench, and a
customized belt conveyor and sorting system.
Also included are special mechanics to handle
the small diameters with maximum protection
for the surface of the material under test. The
system features fast size change-overs and is
controlled by an easy to use PLC with touch
panel.
The Echomac® 25mm Rotary is designed for high
speed flaw and dimensional ultrasonic inspection of
tubes in high precision applications, and provides
100% coverage at high throughput rates on thin wall
product ranging from 5 to 25mm diameter.
The 25mm Rotary is especially well suited for
challenging applications requiring high performance
such as tubular product for nuclear and aerospace
installations. The overall length of the Rotary,
630mm, allows for ease of installation
in existing inspection lines. Wall
thickness as thin as 0.3mm, and
tubes as short as 1 meter, can be
successfully tested. Features include
a transformer design which ensures
improved signal to noise ratio,
enhanced bandwidth, zero channel
cross-talk, 8,000 RPM running speed,
precision test blocks and transducer
holders, convenient adjustment of
the transducer angle, and optimum
operating safety. The 25mm Rotary
joins MAC’s line of UT Rotaries which
range up to 500mm capacity.
When used with MAC’s Echomac FD-6/6A
instrumentation, the Rotary system provides
outstanding inspection of ID/OD, longitudinal and
transverse flaws, wall thickness and dimensional
evaluation including conditions of eccentricity and
ovality. The software can be equipped with a C scan
for ease of test result analysis. The Echomac® series
is being used for a variety of applications ranging
from full body testing of spinning tube and weld zone
inspection during production, to 500mm Ultrasonic/
Flux Leakage multi test systems for large diameter
OCTG pipe.
