QC 2 – Wiremeasurement
|
Zumbach Electronic – the world-leading manufacturer of inline measuring solutions for over 60 years – has recently unveiled its latest innovation in precision measurement technology: the QC non-contact, off-line measuring stations, designed to deliver fast, accurate, and repeatable measurements for wire, cable, and tube samples. These systems set a new benchmark for quality control in manufacturing environments, ensuring compliance with exacting specifications and enabling production optimization.
QC 2: Advanced Measurement for Wire, Cable, and Tube Samples
The QC 2 system combines cutting-edge components to provide unparalleled accuracy and ease of use, and consists of a high-precision diameter measuring head, a motorized rotating sample holder with automatic sample ejection for piece measurement, and a USYS-Touch processor with specialized software for data evaluation.
This system is ideal for quality control laboratories or factory floors, offering operators a simple, repeatable solution for measuring outside diameter and ovality. Unlike traditional micrometers or mechanical indicators- which can suffer from calibration errors or operator variability – the QC 2 guarantees consistent results regardless of user input.
Key advantages of the QC 2:
• Accurate and user-friendly measurement method
• Quick feedback for production optimization
• Automatic rotation and measurement start with a single key press
• Specially designed rotating holder for precise sample positioning
• Comprehensive statistics (min, max, average, standard deviation) at the touch of a button
• Data upload capability for further processing
QC 4: Precision for Hose and Tube Samples
For hose and tube applications, Zumbach offers the QC 4 system, which measures outside diameter and calculates inside diameter and wall thickness. Like the QC 2, it delivers fast, accurate results and can be deployed in both QC labs and on the plant floor, providing operators with a simple and repeatable solution for measuring parts or cut samples of extruded products.
Key advantages of the QC 4:
• Simple placement on a reference pin
• Multiple measurements around the sample circumference
• Two statistical modes:
o One measurement across several samples
o Several measurements on one sample
• Instant calculation of min, max, average, and standard deviation
• Easy data export for advanced analysis
Both QC 2 and QC 4 provide immediate feedback on whether parts meet specification within given tolerances, helping manufacturers:
• Reduce scrap and rework
• Optimize production processes
• Ensure consistent product quality
With their accuracy, speed, and operator-friendly design, Zumbach’s QC systems represent a significant step forward in quality assurance for wire, cable, hose and tube manufacturing.
