T echnology U pdate In-line measuring

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. Zumbach Electronic AG – Switzerland Fax: +41 32 356 04 30

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").

System for tube measuring

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.

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). 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.

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
