Specialist in band sawing technology

Introduction of calibrated single scan technology In-line measuring, monitoring and control systems expert, Zumbach Electronic, has introduced CSS (calibrated single scan) technology, which brings a number of improvements. The most important innovation is that each mirror is individually identified, and its error characteristics are stored in a chip, meaning that each mirror is individually calibrated. Up to 1,200 measurements/s, ie all measurements, are available for further processing. ITL has previously designed, developed, manufactured, supplied and commissioned four tube mill plants, and exported to Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa. The company also has 16 installations with various capacities running successfully in India.

Over 300 processed data packages/s can then be exported over a data port. With the new CSS technology, higher measuring and data rates are combined with the robustness and precision of laser scanning. CSS is already available in a number of ODAC ® laser heads.

The Laser 2000 series diameter measuring devices from Sikora are specifically adapted to the increasing demands of the hose and tube industries, and are developed for product diameters from 0.05 to 300mm. The latest addition to the Sikora family of lasers is the Laser 2003 XY, the smallest  Laser 2003 XY is the smallest of the Sikora diameter measuring systems ITL Industries Ltd, India, is the manufacturer of metal cutting band saw machines. Established in 1986, the company’s metal sawing machine manufacturing division designs and manufactures horizontal-type metal cutting band saw machines. The machine range includes manual, semi- automatic, fully automatic and NC versions. ITL also supply high-speed vertical-type metal cutting band saw machines, including plate saws and tool room application machines. In addition, they supply high- speed hacksaw machines in technical collaboration with M/s Kasto Maschinenbau & GmbH, Germany. Special purpose sawing machines are available for applications including aluminium slab and billet cutting, silicon slab cutting, graphite cutting, nuclear fuel cutting and tyre cutting. The company’s tube and pipe manufacturing equipment division produces machines for the production of tube, pipe and metal sections. This equipment is used for precision tubes, galvanized pipes, black pipes and API grade pipes. The product range includes tube mills, section mills,

strengtheners, cut-off, accumulators, draw benches, swaging machines, pointing and finishing machines, hydro testers and bundling equipment. The company is an authorised distributor of Vickers International for hydraulics equipment and components for the State of Madhya Pradesh & Rajasthan. The company also designs, fabricates and assembles hydraulic power packs and skids for custom-built applications. ITL’s customers include steel plants, forging industries, defence establishments, railway workshops, steel tube plants, research organisations and heavy engineering industries. The company exports to regions of the two-axis-gauge heads. With a repeatability of 0.1µm, it is designed for the measurement of extremely small hose and tubes with diameters from 0.05 to 3mm. The device is equipped with pulse-driven laser-light sources in combination with high- resolution CCD-sensor lines and powerful signal processors. Extremely short exposure times of 0.2µseconds guarantee precision at all line speeds, even if the measuring object is vibrating. The use of the latest SMD technology makes the small and powerful gauge head easy to install anywhere on the production line. There are no optical elements or moving parts in the system to wear or degrade, providing maintenance free operation and optimum reliability. Requiring no calibration, the measuring values remain precise after years of operation.
