Cellmaster technology for efficiency and quality

process, including the detection of periodic irregularities that can affect the quality of cables, especially in data transmission. It also helps to improve start-up times and reduce downtime, resulting in greater output, as well as reducing waste materials. The analysis and control provided by Cellmaster ensures tighter specifications, consistent impedance/capacitance and overall better product quality. An additional benefit is the ability to predict early machine failure, which reduces downtime by identifying potential failures before they occur and enables planned maintenance during non-peak times, keeping production lines running smoothly. Early detection allows for minor repairs of machinery, rather than major overhauls. This kind of regular maintenance based on predictive insights can extend the operational life of machinery, as well as preventing accidents caused by unexpected machine breakdown.

Cable has implemented technology from Zumbach to improve its production processes. Nexans faced significant challenges with irregularities in the network cable extrusion process at its facility in Tuzla, Turkey, leading to increased production downtime and material waste. After evaluating the available solutions, Nexans selected the advanced Cellmaster® universal control centre from Zumbach Electronic to address these issues. (fast Fourier transform) protocol, enables Nexans to perform precise spectrum frequency analysis, detect and correct periodic irregularities, and predict early machine failures. This has enhanced the company’s manufacturing efficiency, reduced waste and improved overall product quality. The highly specialised and complex Cellmaster software runs on Zumbach USYS processors, and provides measurement and control of wire and cable diameter and capacitance in the manufacturer Nexans This solution, utilising FFT
