X-Ray measurement technology IN order for a manufacturer to select a measurement and control solution with the best price/performance ratio, suitable technology must be chosen. After many years of experience in using eccentricity gauges with X-rays and ultrasonic, laser diameter and inductive measurement devices for different products and materials, Zumbach has expanded the X-Ray family for dedicated tube and hose applications. In combination with the data acquisition and processor system, auto- matic control of the line is possible. By controlling line speed or extruder speed the parameters are controlled to the nominal value. The display shows all measurement values numerically and graphically, as well as trends and statistical data. A line presentation with pictograms of the connected devices

provides a clear overview to the operator. At the same time the system reduces the wall thickness to a minimum value. Quality assurance and the reduction of material lead to a significant increase in productivity.

Zumbach’s static X-ray system Rayex ® S has been specially devel- oped for use with any kind of foamed pipe, vulcanised products and hydraulic hoses. Rayex S measures and controls diameter, ovality, wall thickness and eccentricity of single- and multi-layer products with up to four layers. It provides precise measuring values and high reliability for pipes and hoses with an outside diameter of up to 80mm. The system features the latest X-ray technology and software solutions.
