X-ray measurement technology from Zumbach
IN order for a manufacturer to select
a measurement and control solution
with the best price/performance
ratio, suitable technology must be
chosen.
Aftermany years of experience inusing
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.
Zumbach’s static X-ray system
Rayex® S has been specially developed
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 pipe and hoses
with an outside diameter of up to 80mm.
The system features the latest X-ray
technology and software solutions.
In combination with
the data acquisition
and processor system,
an automatic 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 nu-
merically and graphically,
as well as trends and
statistical data.
A line presentation
with pictograms of the
connected devices pro-
vides 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.
