At Interwire 2025, Magnetic Analysis Corp. (MAC®) demonstrated how its grading software helps wire, rod, and bar manufacturers effectively meet a wide range of customer quality standards with precision and consistency.
Per the company, wire producers often supply customers in industries ranging from construction to aerospace - each with its own expectations for surface condition, inclusion levels, and documentation. MAC's Grading Software was developed to address this challenge by providing real-time, automated grading during production. Integrated with MAC's MultiMac® or Minimac® II eddy current testers, the system can categorize individual segments or full coils based on user-defined thresholds for defect type and quantity.
Operators can configure grading criteria such as the number and type of surface defects allowed per segment or coil, and assign color-coded grade levels accordingly. The software then automatically assigns a grade and generates reports that include coil ID, defect counts, date, time and testing equipment used. Multilingual support and CSV-format reports make it easy to integrate this data into customer databases or print labels for shipment.
For manufacturers balancing multiple production lines and varied customer specs, the ability to tag and track coils by grade streamlines both internal workflows and outbound quality communication. This allows producers to deliver exactly what each customer needs- no more, no less-while minimizing scrap and overprocessing.
MAC's Grading Software empowers wire producers to deliver consistent, traceable quality tailored to each end application. The result? greater efficiency, transparency, and customer satisfaction-right from the production floor.
