Extrusion International 4-2019

61 Extrusion International 4/2019 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 WALL- MASTER and RAYEX ® x-ray systems, which measure wall thickness, ec- centricity, diameter and ovality, the optimal technology can be selected for every application and specific re- quirement. In addition of gaining control over the production process and product quality, full data acquisition and pro- duction transparency is supporting customers on their journey to Indus- try 4.0. Complementary devices like ODAC ® Laser diameter gauges, KW Lump- Neckdown detectors and Non-con- tact 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 Measure- ment of Diameter and Ovality as sions or even the complete cross-sec- tion of profiles and pipes made out of plastic or rubber - throughout the entire manufacturing process. All relevant dimensions such as di- ameter, width, height, angle and radii are permanently measured plus statistics and process information re- corded for traceability reasons. OPC UA – Easy and Transparent data management: ZUMBACH products offer OPC UA, a universal communi- cation protocol used for industrial au- tomation and the protocol of choice for Industry 4.0 integration and data exchange with relevant systems and process control software solutions. ZUMBACH Electronic AG www.zumbach.com Pipe, Tube and Hose always Measured Fast and Precisely well as Flaw Detection: Up to 9000 calibrated measurements per sec- ond 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 selec- tion of 1-, 2- or 3-axis ODAC ® Laser Diameter Gauges are available. In combination with powerful USYS dis- play and control systems, which offer statistics, process control, data ar- chiving and more, the most suitable solution can be selected. Full Profile and Shape Measurement with Modern Light Section Measure- ment 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 dimen- K 2019: Hall10, Booth E41 RAYEX ® S, UMAC, PROFIELMASTER PMM150, ODAC ® TRIO.
