Technology Update
combination with CSS, makes the gauge
an effective tool at three roll blocks or
when the bar has polygonal or asymmetric
shape deviations, eg asymmetric underfill
or overfills. It calculates the typical
values DT and GT for
the initial roll settings,
and can also calculate
and display ‘roundness’
RON according to the
official ISO definition for any
shape.
The mechanical system is
the same as the design of the
smaller gauges and requires
minimal maintenance and
only periodic cleaning.
Smaller gauge models for
wire rod and smaller sizes are
also available.

ZUMBACH Electronic AG has extended its
range of Steelmaster rod and bar gauges
with a larger model.
The new gauge, SMO 160-S6, is
equipped with six high-speed ODAC® 160
laser scanners and delivers up to 6,000
measurements/sec (ie 1,000 processed
profiles/sec).
It also features Zumbach’s
calibrated single scan system
(CSS) and the EPM method and
software.
The gauge is able to measure
rounds, hex, squares, flats and various
shapes with outside dimensions up to
approximately 140mm in multiple modes:
static, orientable mode measures
in six directions, 30 degrees spaced;
partial oscillation mode features
programmable start and stop angle,
eg for squares or flats; and full
180° oscillation (standard mode for
rounds, every 30° rotation delivers a
full profile).
