Pipe, Tube and Hose always Measured Fast and Precisely with the Ideal Measurement Technology

Plastic and Rubber extrusion of pipe, tube and hose require high-tech measurement technologies in order to optimize material consumption and increase production efficiency. With ZUMBACH’s ultrasonic WALLMASTER and RAYEX® x-ray systems, which measure wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter and ovality, the optimal technology can be selected for every application and specific requirement. In addition of gaining control over the production process and product quality, full data acquisition and production transparency is supporting customers on their journey to Industry 4.0.

Complementary devices like ODAC® Laser diameter gauges, KW Lump-Neckdown detectors and Non-contact Length measurement systems are increasing the process control even more and providing full transparency of the entire production process, also for complex multi-layer products.

Super Fast and Accurate Measurement of Diameter and Ovality as well as Flaw Detection

Up to 9000 calibrated measurements per second with ZUMBACH’s ODAC® Laser Diameter Gauge are propelling this unit to the next level. A permanent and precise diameter and ovality measurement in combination with flaw detection, all in one unit, makes the ODAC® the ultimate solution for tube and hose extrusion lines.

Tailored to the application, a selection of 1-, 2- or 3-axis ODAC® Laser Diameter Gauges are available. In combination with powerful USYS display and control systems, which offer statistics, process control, data archiving and more, the most suitable solution can be selected.

Full Profile and Shape Measurement with Modern Light Section Measurement Technology

Full cross-section measurement of plastic and rubber profiles directly in the production line.

The state of the art PROFILEMASTER systems from Zumbach represent an accurate and economical solution for measuring and monitoring dimensions or even the complete cross-section of profiles and pipes made out of plastic or rubber – throughout the entire manufacturing process.

All relevant dimensions such as diameter, width, height, angle and radii are permanently measured plus statistics and process information recorded for traceability reasons.

OPC UA: Easy and Transparent data management ZUMBACH products offer OPC UA, a universal communication protocol used for industrial automation and the protocol of choice for Industry 4.0 integration and data exchange with relevant systems and process control software solutions .
