The heavy duty Profilemaster measuring
unit is fully protected for harsh environments,
with four laser/camera modules
ZUMBACH systems in the steel and metal
industry are used for the manufacture of
hot and cold rolled products and in cold
processes for semi-finished products.
Typical areas where Zumbach systems
are used are hot rolling mills for wire
steel rod, profiles and seamless pipes,
for the manufacture of welded pipes, test
stands (NDT) as well as all cold processes
like peeling, grinding, straightening and
polishing.
Three product groups represent a wide
range of different measuring systems:
Steelmaster non-contact laser measuring
systems for hot and cold in-line
and applications in rolling mills;
Profilemaster profile and shape
measuring systems for hot and cold
in-line and off-line applications; and
Odac Trio three axis laser diameter
gauges.
Steelmaster gauges and systems
are based on the latest technology
and on the experience with close to
300 units in hot rolling and similar
processes, and they are backed
by many thousand Odac scanners,
operating in cold processes.
The Steelmaster processor is the ‘brain’
of the system. It processes the measuring
data, communicates with the plant network
and provides the operator with self-
explanatory displays and key data. Process
transparency is improved, especially if
multiple measuring heads are installed.
The SMO oscillating gauges for round
and non-round products (flats, squares
hexagons, etc) feature up to six measuring
axes for seamless 360° coverage with no
blind zones. Measurement is independent of
twist, and the system also computes cross
section, with oscillating or static operation.
SMS static gauges are especially suited
to round products. They features up to
six fixed axes, and have no moving parts.
The gauges are compact and require
practically no maintenance, and provide a
fast measuring rate with short measuring
distances.
Steelmaster gauges offer advantages
for easy integration, dependable operation
and data processing and display: laser
scanners with top accuracy; up to 6,000
measurements/sec (1,000 per scanner);
Non-contact in-line dimension measurement
