Zumbach Electronics, Switzerland, has
introduced new ultrasonic wall thickness
scanners, branded the Umac® Z50 and
Umac® Z100. Due to a completely new
design (patent pending), the transducers
can be synchronously adjusted to the best
possible measuring position within seconds.
The scanners cover an outside diameter
range from 5-100mm (0.2 to 4"), depending
on the model. They represent a smart and
simple solution for fully non-contact, inline
wall thickness measurement of tube, hose
and cable jackets. In combination with
the proven Wallmaster data acquisition,
processing and display system from
Zumbach, a full process control can also be
accomplished.
There are many advantages and numerous
benefits of the new ultrasonic scanners. These
include easy product change within a few
seconds, due to a quickly removable segment,
and quick and symmetrical positioning of all
centrally adjustable transducers.
The scanners are available for 4 and
6 point measurement, with a large
measuring range using the same scanner.
No readjustments, tools, or change of
transducers are required. Fully non-contact
and with uncritical centring, the compact
scanners are made from 100 per cent non-
corrosive materials.
