defect types, each based on a specific threshold gate; specify the maximum number of defects for each grade level; and configure reports that include coil ID, grade, date, time, production line, test instrument and total defect count for each designated type. MAC will also present information on its new eddy current Rotomac® 25mm rotary tester, which provides on-line inspection for long, continuous surface flaws such as seams and laps in cold heading, spring making and other slow-throughput operations. Flaws are identified prior to forming and cutting, and the defect alarm activation is delayed so that the piece made from the defective wire is rejected after the cutting operation. Operating at 1,000 rpm, the Rotomac 25RM handles wire from 3 to 25mm in diameter. Test probe adjustments are easily accessible, and typical throughput speeds are up to 12m/ min. The rotary’s accurate distance compen- sation, when using an absolute test probe, permits inspection of excessively out-of-round product. Engineers at the stand will be available to discuss MAC’s complete range of inspection systems for wire, cable and rod. Operating at speeds up to 18,000 rpm, the Rotomac HS 20mm rotary is suitable for wire producers testing product from 2 to 20mm in diameter. Distance compensation – critical for testing ovate wire – is included. For drawn wire, drawing nibs can be adapted for use as bushings for testing marginally straightened wire. Applications include testing A-286 stainless steel wire and similar low-conductivity alloys. Magnetic Analysis Corp www.mac-ndt.com 10 C22 Maillefer connects the digital and physical production worlds from within the Smart Circle, which will be the centrepiece of stand 10 C22. The exhibit will provide an informative experience in smart buffering, roundness optimisation, defect detection, preventive maintenance, sim factory and NCC curing calculation. A guided tour will take place alongside two complete lines – a new fibre optic secondary coating line and a high-voltage CCV line – both of which fit into just a few square metres. The secondary coating line is being released for the show. Its new components and smart technology are Maillefer Extrusion Oy

The company will also showcase its drawing machine as well as the second generation of its fully automatic precision layer winder. Lämneå Bruk AB www.lamnea.se

demonstrating eddy current tester for detecting surface and subsurface defects in ferrous and non ferrous wire, cable and tube. The Minimac is often installed in high speed in-line testing of small diameter drawn wire. Its filters and digital processors, along with guiding and holding mechanisms, prevent vibration from interfering with the test as well as ensuring smooth progress of the product through the production line. a Minimac®

Stationary capstan take-up frame for galvanised wire coiling

The production range includes payoffs from stationary spools or carriers; rotating payoff turntables for spools or carriers; horizontal or vertical spool payoff frames (with optional double accumulation capstan); rotating capstan take-up frames for carriers (with optional spiral laying, wire skinpass and dual size capstan); and stationary capstan take-up frames for carriers (option: pattern laying, accumulation device, dual size capstan). manufactures horizontal and vertical spool take-up frames (option: double accumulation capstan); payoffs and take-ups for bead wire and steel cord; automatic or semi automatic coil compacting and strapping lines; and wet drawing machines for ultra fine wire, saw wire, steel cord, spring wire, rope wire, staple and clips wire, complete with traditional horizontal or vertical spoolers or a newly developed series of fully automatic spoolers with no operator intervention.
