In-line measurement from Zumbach
SOLUTIONS for in-line measurement
and control of tubes, pipes and profiles
will be the focus of Zumbach’s exhibition
stand, including the Profilemaster®
and Steelmaster in-line measurement
solutions for dimensions and shape.
Makers of seamless pipe, tube,
profiles and bars now have access to
Zumbach gauges, which have been
enhanced to offer more significant
advantages.
New Profilemaster models SPS 200,
400 and 800 complete the line of hot and
cold in-process gauges for rounds up
to diameter 600mm (23.62") or profiles
of up to 550mm (21.65") edge lengths.
Profilemaster gauges are based on the
principle of light-section technology and
machine vision, and can handle any
shape or profile.
Relevant dimensions can be entered
into the program and are then monitored
during the production run at all times.
Typical applications are hot seamless
pipe and profiles of
any kind, cold rolled/
welded tubes and
pipes (ERW) and
inspection stations
for tube, pipe, profiles
and bar.
Profilemaster sys-
tems are available
in multiple designs,
depending on the
requirements of the
customer and product. The systems
are best suited to the continuous
measurement and monitoring of
dimensions and the complete cross-
section of profiles made of steel, metal,
plastics or rubber.
The new series of Steelmaster hot
and cold gauges, based on high-speed
laser scanning, now offers up to 12,000
measurements per second, with new
calibrated single scan (CSS) technology.
This results in a highly accurate and fast
non-contact measurement of diameter,
ovality and width/height at production
speeds of 100m/s (19,685 ft/min).
Steelmaster gauges are available in
static (SMS models), oscillating (SMO
models) or rotating (SMR models)
configurations, for diameters of up to
500mm (20") or beyond, upon request.

Evolution in cutting technology
FRAMAG Industrieanlagenbau has
specialised in cutting technology for
more than 35 years. To improve torch
cutting technology, the company has
developed the new Evolution cutting
nozzle programme. Due to the new
technology, framag can minimise the
cutting kerf to the complete range of
cutting thickness by improved cutting
quality and increased cutting speed. The
utility consumption (cutting oxygen,
heating gas and oxygen) can also
be reduced.
“In conjunction with the ongoing
endeavour for improvements,
framag has developed a new
generation of nozzles and
successfully tested at long term trials
at Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH,” said
P Müller, head of continuous casting
machines and discharge area at
Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH.
“The FCN-Nozzles improve the cutting
quality by increased cutting speed and
lowered gas consumption.”
The FCN cutting nozzle Evolution can
cut carbon steel as well as stainless
steel grades.
Up to a nominal cutting thickness
of 200mm framag advises the use of
FCN 150, while FCN 300 is designed
for nominal cutting thicknesses up to
300mm.
