Zumbach introduces calibrated single scan Zumbach’s new CSS technology invokes a number of detail improvements, possibly the most important being that each mirror is individually identi-

fied and its error characteristics stored in a chip. This means that each mirror is individually calibrated and that up to 1,200 measurements (ie all measurements) are available for further processing. A high-speed processor in the measuring head allows filtering and analysis of various measuring values,

depending on the process (speed, product surface, dirt, water) and to configure the further processing for minimum, maximum average, ovality and fault detection.

Over 300 processed data packages can then be exported over a data port.

With CSS technology higher measuring and data rates are combined with robustness and precision laser scanning. CSS is already available in a number of ODAC ® laser heads.

Six spools per minute Windak has announced that its new generation high speed SW6 spooler has successfully achieved 6 x 100m spools per minute.

The SW6, fully automatic spooler has been designed for a maximum output of 6 spools/ min (100m) with a guarantee of 5 per/min (100m) according to Urban Bollo, managing director of Windak Sweden. “To the best of our knowledge, the SW6 is the fastest 100 metre cable spooler in the world,” stated Mr Bollo. An obstacle to achieving 6 x 100m spools per minute has been the loading/unloading cycle time. Windak’s new dual lift system allows for cycle times of less than 10 seconds.

With short cycle times, and a stop time of less than one second, the SW6 is optimised for in-line production of spools 165mm (6.5") OD x 90–200mm (3.5"-8") wide.
