Quality is remembered long

In highly automated production processes
measurement of operational throughput
delivers essential data to control process
parameters or, as in the manufacturing
of piece goods, an automatic start and
end recognition mechanism allows
autonomous length measurement.
When working with hot, elastic, highly
sensitive or dough-like materials, it is
impossible to use tactile sensors such as
odometers or tacho rolls.
The accuracy of a mechanical sensor
system is also reduced by slippage, which
in practice can lead to measuring errors of
10% or more.
In both cases, non-contact optical
metrology provides significant benefits.
With the Speel 3000, Zumbach offers a
gauge that can be used for applications
that demand a high degree of accuracy at
high velocities.
Speel 3000 is available for a measuring
distance of 300mm and is said to achieve
an accuracy of 0.05% or better.
The measured length is transmitted to
subsequent electronics using an industry
standard incremental interface. An
alternative synchronous serial interface
(SSI) is also available.
In addition, an electrical output signal
compatible with common incremental
encoders is available and can be directly
connected to control systems, electrical
counters or frequency inverters.
The main features of Speel 3000 include:
• Speed range up to 3,000m/min
• Detection of standstill
• Detection of direction
• Start and end recognition
• Allows deviation of the measuring
distance
• Suits smooth and rough surfaces
• Long life LED illumination
• Maintenance free
