IP, Ethernet TCP/IP and OPC UA, among others. control solution for foam extruded coax, telephone and data cables uses the USYS processor to display, control and record the diameter, capacitance, wall thickness, concentricity and eccentricity. The Cellmaster enables greater efficiency and product quality in the extrusion process of communications cables, providing detailed information for a clearer overview of product criteria and line status. For the insulation testing of wires and cables for insulating, sheathing and packaging lines, the new Sparktester DST 10 is designed to fit applications where space and positioning flexibility are critical. It offers a range of industrial interfaces for use with any machine environment, as well as a high level of precision and performance, for where faults in the insulation are unacceptable. KW fault detectors for surface fault detection, including lumps and neckdowns in cables, wires, tubes and hoses, operate at high line speeds while maintaining accuracy and stability. Utilising advanced three-axis measuring optics, they are immune to ambient and scattered light. They are dust-resistant and provide fault processing at a high level. The Cellmaster® universal

to the modules via the CAN bus. Other communication protocols such as ModbusTCP/IP and OPC-UA are supported via LAN or WLAN. Fieldbus variants such as Profibus, CANopen and Ethernet IP can be integrated using external converters. Woywod Kunststoffmaschinen GmbH & Co Vertriebs-KG www.woywod.de

Zumbach, a manufacturer of on-line measuring systems for optimising prod- uct quality, manufacturing efficiency and production costs for the wire and cable, plastic and rubber extrusion and steel industries, will present a range of technology at wire China. The Rayex® D X-ray measuring system utilises scanning X-ray technology and was designed for use in CV and silane lines, for measuring wall thickness, eccentricity, concentricity, diameter and ovality of low, medium and high voltage cables. The stable X-ray sources allow Rayex D to provide high measuring accuracy. X-ray technology is also available with Rayex® S – a static system that is primarily used in the production of pressure hoses, medical hoses, composite pipes and multi-layer products such as medium and high voltage cables. UMAC® Wallmaster is used for the ultrasonic measurement and control of wall thickness and concentricity of flat products. Using the ultrasonic measurement principle, the UMAC flat support holder is a measurement solution for the growing requirements of flat extruded products, allowing in-line measurement, data acquisition and control of products such as flat automotive conductors. offers continuous, multi-layer measurement of up to five layers simultaneously, with digital signal processing. Characteristics are the system’s flexibility to cope with wide ranges of material types and product shapes and sizes, combined with a simplified operator interface, making configuration easy. The solution includes an integrated web server and standardised industrial communication protocols that allow connectivity over Profinet IO, Ethernet/ The Wallmaster technology

Woywod first presented its new user interface at wire in Düsseldorf

The PPM II Smart HMI can be connected to all PPMs via the integrated CAN bus. Even older controls with conventional rotary/push buttons can be controlled and maintained remotely using this terminal. The robust housing and the IP65 front make it suitable for use in demanding environments. The touchscreen inter- face, similar to the PPM-TSC software, enables intuitive operation. With a separate 24V DC/5A power supply, the PPM II Smart HMI can be used flexibly. The high-resolution display with 1280x800 pixels ensures a clear representation of the content. A mixing system is operated via a material and recipe database as well as material tests (for volumetric dosing units/mixing stations), which can be carried out directly via the terminal. The configuration of devices and systems is therefore simplified and optimised. The PPM II Smart HMI offers a range of connectivity options including Ethernet RJ45, RS485, RS232, CAN 2.0 B, Bluetooth, WLAN/WLAN AP and OPC UA server. This versatility allows easy integration into various systems and networks. The centre of the system is a 64-bit, 1.5 GHz, quad-core processor and 8GB of RAM. The programming is based on the PPM-NET interface and the PPM TSC software and offers a user-friendly web interface for configuration, system operation and material and recipe management. The PPM II Smart HMI supports all PPM II controllers, and enables connection
