Measuring and monitoring from Zumbach

▼ ▼ The ODAC 63Trio from Zumbach

Zumbach offers a wide range of dimensional measurement and quality monitoring systems for the plastics, rubber, wire, cable, steel and metal industries. The systems described are designed to provide wire and cable manufacturers with the state-of-the-art in process control technology. Specific parameters covered by these systems include diameter, ovality and wall thickness measurement. Also new are processors designed to provide on-line measurement and data acquisition, control and display as well as quality monitoring. Zumbach offers other instruments, such as on-line profile measuring systems of continuously manufactured profiles of any kind, X-ray measuring systems for CV lines, combined diameter and eccentricity measuring systems for communication cables and more.

Diameter and ovality measurement

The new ODAC® 63TRIO system measuring head supplements the programme of three-axis laser measuring systems with a measuring field of 64mm (2.52").

The principle for the ODAC® 63TRIO is the same as for the smaller model ODAC® 33TRIO.

Since commissioning the first system, three-axis measurement has been hugely successful.

The accurate detection of out-of-round condition, regardless of the orientation of the product ovality in combination with reliable and fast diameter measurement are all valuable features. Advantages include synchronised measurement axes on one single plane, ultra compact design, reliable detection of mean value regardless of the orientation of the product ovality, accurate computation of circumference and cross section, increased measurement accuracy and reliability, integrated fault detector that offers three times higher detection certainty and sensitivity than two-axis models and available interfaces including J standard for USYS, RS-232/-422/-485, Profibus DP and Ethernet.
