The SMO 160-S6

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). The new EPM method and software, in

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.
