The latest diameter measurement devices

• Standard version from ø 0.06  to 16mm (0.0024 to 0.64") All the measuring heads of the ODAC series have adaptive signal processing (patent DE3111356), which makes subsequent regular re-calibrations superfluous. Only in instances of component exchange or compliance to calibration regulations ISO 9000/9001, etc would re-calibration be required. All the relevant parameters for accuracy are continuously monitored by the measuring system and automatically compensated. This is valid in particular for possible long-term changes of the behaviour of the scanner motor or the measuring electronics.

Thanks to the compact design, the ODAC® 14XY measuring heads from Zumbach can be used in virtually every manufacturing process in the wire and cable industry, the plastics and rubber industry as well as the steel and metal industry. The technological basis considered for these measuring heads is the latest technology, with laser diodes as light sources combined with intelligent and powerful measured-value processors which facilitate a simple and flexible integration. Zumbach’s long-standing experience of in-line measuring technology, combined with high production figures, results in a product with an excellent price-performance ratio, according to the manufacturer. Among the features are single scan calibration (CSS), single scan monitoring and high data rate output of up to 125 data packages per second. The measuring heads can be used with all line speeds. Vibrations during production have no noticeable influence on measurements.

The ODAC 14XY models are available for two measuring ranges: • Micro version from ø 0.015 to 3mm (0.0006  to 0.12"). Thanks to the use of a special laser, these versions can measure smallest diameters within the micrometre range. ▲ ▲ ODAC 14XY measuring head with optional local display LOC 01
