ZUMBACH’S Profilemaster® systems are
based on the latest technology, with laser
contouring and CCD camera vision and
processing. They capture the full product
circumference/section and measure and
monitor the relevant profile dimensions, angles
and radii. The range of Profilemaster gauges
includes versions for small precision profiles
starting from a dimension of 2mm (0.08"), cold
formed tubes and profiles, as well as medium
size products, hot or cold, up to dimensions of
approximately 250mm (10").
Depending on process, maximum
product temperature and size range, a
number of standard models are available.
Special systems are conceived and built
upon specific request.

In-line measuring
RODER Srl has launched Tubix, a non-
contact measuring system for tubes.
The Tubix measuring system allows the
measurement of diameter, ovality and wall
thickness of pipes and tube using the latest
laser technology.
The measurement is contactless and
therefore does not deform the sample, and
is particularly suitable for the measurement
and control of rubber, foam and plastic,
but also suitable for tubes of any material
(including metal, plastic, glass, cardboard and
ceramics).
For each sample the system can measure
the outside diameter, inside diameter and the
roundness of a minimum of two sections,
up to a maximum of four sections, with
automatic calculation of total ovality, average
diameter and average wall thickness.
The supplied software is designed for
use directly on the production line, even by
an unskilled operator, and provides speed
and ease of use in process controls. The
ability to store the acquired data, split them
in batches and product codes and saving in
Excel format ensures integration with logistic
and management departments. Models are
available with measuring ranges from a few
millimetres up to2,000mm, andaccuracy of up
to 0.001mm. Versions are available designed
for use in harsh industrial environments (high
dust, high temperatures and with presence of
environmental contaminants).
Roder describes Tubix as a good
substitute for the operations normally carried
out with manual measuring instruments, to
speed the inspection process and eliminate
any possibility of error in the generation of
measurement and inspection reports.
