In-line profile and shape measurement AS a pioneer of online measurement committed to research and development activities, Zumbach Electronic has grown into a global manufacturer of online measuring and control systems. A top priority at Zumbach remains customer relationships through local presence combined with proven products, services, personal consulting and support. product quality. It also integrates seamlessly with PC-based systems already in a network. Depending on the Profilemaster ® model, up to eight laser/camera modules measure the cross section of the moving profile on-line and continuously. All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle and radius or other geometric quantities are computed to characterise the full cross-sectional picture.

Zumbach’s Profilemaster ® systems are developed from a core set of proprietary mega pixel camera/laser modules and software technologies. The application of these technologies has been adapted to serve the specific measurement, monitoring and flaw detection needs of extruded plastic and rubber tubes, hoses, profiles, wire and cable and wood plastic composites. The system provides 100 per cent inspection, reduces start-up time, increases the accuracy of the end product, improves process control, reduces scrap, saves raw material and post processing costs and increases

The program has three working modes: Operation – for measurements during production. The desired functions for the measurement of a product, eg conditions for Start/End and records, are only entered once and stored in the memory together with the measured data. Entering product data – enter the measurement requirement and define how the measured data should be processed. The flexible functions in the software program can be configured to allow products to be measured exactly as the customer requires.

Service and system configuration – the functions in the program can be selected according to the operator’s requirements. Moreover, the default values used for pre-processing can be changed to suit each product.
