22/03/2026 – Quality management
NDT solutions built around process
At the MAC booth, attendees can expect hands-on demonstrations of the “Minimac II” eddy current (ECT) electronic, direct access to application engineers, and practical discussions centred on improving quality, yield, and confidence in production.

Designed for wire, rod, and small-diameter tube, the fully embedded “Minimac II” electronics are widely used across wire applications, including solid and flux-cored welding wire, continuity checking, weld detection in insulated single and multi-conductor cable, and detection of magnetic inclusions in non-magnetic products using MAC’s MID option.
During “wire 2026”, the “Minimac II” will be demonstrated, testing a wire standard similar in diameter for medical wire, live at production relevant speeds of up to 1,219m/min, showcasing its ability to reliably detect short surface and near-surface defects.
A key reason to visit MAC at “wire” is access to in person expertise. Whether determining when to use an encircling coil versus an eddy current rotary, or when a multi-test system is required, MAC’s team is prepared to discuss options and even conceptually design custom solutions directly at the booth. Senior Application Engineer Troy Libby will be on-site throughout the show, bringing more than 25 years of experience in eddy current technology, including the design of inspection systems, test coils, and probes for some of the industry’s most demanding applications. From high-speed round wire to complex profiles, MAC engineers work one-on-one with customers to meet stringent specifications and production realities.
Whether using EDM notches, chemically etched defects, or actual production flaws, MAC’s team administers calibrations, Factory Acceptance Testing, and ongoing support through a global network of NDT engineers to ensure reliable system performance in real-world conditions. Even when customers arrive without standards, often due to urgent quality concerns, MAC provides transparent testing, clear reporting, and guidance on next steps. This collaborative, open approach is central to how MAC builds long term partnerships.
Beyond eddy current testing, MAC’s broader portfolio, including ultrasonic testing (both conventional and phased array) and magnetic flux leakage systems, allows our team to discuss complete custom inspection strategies for product producers at every scale. At “wire 2026”, their goal is simple: listen first, understand customers process, and help identify the right inspection solution to meet, and exceed, quality requirements.
For more than 95 years, Magnetic Analysis Corporation (MAC) has partnered with wire, tube, bar, pipe, and parts producers worldwide to design non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions tailored to real production environments. That customer-first philosophy is what brings MAC to wire in Düsseldorf and why they invite attendees to visit them for conversations focused on their specific inspection requirements.
“Supporting wire, tube, rod, and parts producers has always been fundamental to MAC’s business,” said Dan Lawrence, CEO and President of MAC. “By exhibiting at ‘wire 2026’, we’re bringing greater visibility to that long history and engaging more directly with wire customers to streamline their inspection process.”
