ZUMBACH – Swiss Prime Measuring since 1957

ZUMBACH – Swiss Prime Measuring since 1957 – will join the international trade fair for wire and cable WIRE 2014 in Dusseldorf. Novel and intelligent solutions as well as cost efficient solutions for in-line measurement and control of wires and cables are going to be the focus of Zumbach’s exhibition booth.
New “Linear Sensor Technology” allows cost effective, synchronous multi-axis Measurement of Diameter and Ovality in any Cable, Tube and Hose Extrusion Process.
Unique measurement technology for products up to 200 mm outside diameter
• A new product line with 2-coloured LED light sources allowing simultaneous scanning in each axis (XY*) and thus trouble-free measurement even with product vibration
• Integrated extraneous light filters prevent occurrence of measurement errors that to date seemed unavoidable
• Perfect performance even with reflective surfaces thanks to the use of different colour lighting for each measurement axis
*This new concept allows even a 4-axis measurement of products up to diameter 54 mm
Extruded Cables, Tube and Hoses under Tight Control with Precise In-Line Measurement and Control of Eccentricity and Wall Thickness
Material savings thanks to measurement and control of eccentricity and wall thickness.
The versatile high-tech ultrasonic system WALLMASTER offers application-specific solutions for measuring and monitoring wall thickness. The measuring data processor with touch-screen display gathers data and QC fully automatically.
In combination with ultrasonic UMAC® scanners and various ODAC® diameter measuring gauges as well as with error detectors, the measuring and monitoring scale can be expanded to outside and inside diameter, statistics, SPC and processor communication.
Using Zumbach’s WALLMASTER measurement and control systems, manufacturers can economise their expenditure of raw materials. The ROI is achieved within a few months. The use of these systems also allows reducing considerably the start-up time.
New ultrasonic scanners for flexible diameter adjustment
This novel construction (pat. pend.) is going to be one of the exhibition’s highlights: the traducers can be either individually or simultaneously adjusted to the best possible measuring position within seconds. The scanners cover an outside diameter up to 180 mm and represent a smart and simple solution for full non-contact, in-line eccentricity and wall thickness measurement of cable jackets, tubes and hoses.
