ZUMBACH: extruded pipe and hoses
under tight control
Material savings thanks to measurement
and control of eccentricity and wall thickness
The versatile high-tech ultrasonic system WALLMASTER offers
application-specific solutions for measuring and monitoring
wall thickness. The measuring data processor with touch-
screen display gathers data and QC fully automatically.
In combination with ultrasonic UMAC® scanners and various
ODAC® diameter measuring gauges as well as with error de-
tectors, the measuring and monitoring scale can be expanded
to outside and inside diameter, statistics, SPC and processor
communication.
Using Zumbach’s WALLMASTER measurement and control sy-
stems, manufacturers can economise their expenditure of raw
materials. The ROI is achieved within a few months. The use of
these systems also allows reducing considerably the start-up
time.
Optimized measurement
of monolayer synthetic pipes and hoses
WALLSTARTER – the low-cost processor solution for UMAC®
ultrasonic eccentricity and wall thickness measuring is tailored
to the requirements of the measuring and monitoring of mo-
nolayer synthetic pipes and hoses.
New ultrasonic scanners for flexible diameter adjustment
This novel construction (pat. pend.) is going to be one of the
exhibition's highlights: the transducers can be either indivi-
dually or simultaneously adjusted to the best possible measu-
ring position within seconds. The scanners cover an outside
diameter up to 180 mm and represent a smart and simple so-
lution for full non-contact, in-line eccentricity and wall thick-
ness measurement of tubes, hoses
and cable jackets.
High-end Non-contact Profile and
Shape Measurement, Combining
Laser and CCD Technology
In-line cross-section measure-
ment of plastic and rubber pro-
files of any kind
The PROFILEMASTER systems
from Zumbach represent an accurate and economical solution
for measuring and monitoring dimensions or even the com-
plete cross-section of profiles and pipes made of plastics or
rubber - throughout the manufacturing process.
All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle and radii
are added together to form the full cross-sectional picture.
Linear Sensor Technology allows cost effective, synchronous
multi-axis Measurement of Diameter and Ovality in Extrusion
Processes
Unique measurement technology for products
up to 200 mm outside diameter
• A new product line with 2-coloured LED light sources allo-
wing simultaneous scanning in each axis (XY*) and thus trou-
ble-free measurement even with product vibration
• Integrated extraneous light filters prevent occurrence of
measurement errors that to date seemed unavoidable
• Perfect performance even with reflective surfaces thanks to
the use of different colour lighting for each measurement axis
OPC UA: Transparent data management –
simple monitoring in real-time
• ZUMBACH equips its powerful instruments with the recog-
nized OPC UA standard. With this key technology, measure-
ment solutions provide easy, scalable and secure information
exchange with different systems in the production line – Plat-
form and manufacturer-independent data exchange.
