english technology news Dimensional measurement for manufacturing

Zumbach offers a complete line of modular, single axis ODAC® laser gauges, available either mounted on a rail or as components with separate sender and receiver units for flexible installation in any position. Using high precision, telecentric optics, it is possible to mount sender and receiver units at a distance to each other (depending on the model, up to 3m/10ft). This enables multiple sender/receiver pairs arranged in the same measuring level, thus offering a multi-axis measurement. With almost unlimited installation and configuration possibilities, these gauges can be used in most manufacturing processes, including the extrusion of cables, hoses, and profiles or in the steel and metal industries for drawing, grinding, cold and hot rolling of rods and tubes. including diameter, gap width, depth penetration or multiple measurement Special beam geometries available (depending on model): narrow beam for contour measurements; parallel beam for profiles and similar Models with integrated processor Zumbach Electronic AG – Switzerland Fax : +41 32 356 0430 Email : sales@zumbach.ch Website : www.zumbach.com Breen Color offers an expanded array of polymer colour concentrates – PVC, PE, PP, EVA, PVDF, FEP, ETFE, MFA, PFA and the recently released Ultralor EF zero-halogen product line specifically designed for high temperature, ultra thin wall applications.
