• Improves process control
• Reduces scrap
• Saves raw material and post
processing costs
• Increases product quality, i.e. higher
end customer satisfaction
• Integrates in a seamless way the PC-
based system with your network
Depending on the PROFILEMASTER® mo-
del, 1 up to 8 laser/camera modules
measure the cross section of the moving
profile on-line and continuously. A
powerful PC-based processor combines
straight lines and radii extracted from the
images of the single cameras to yield the
momentary cross-section of the profile.
All relevant dimensions such as width,
height, angle and radius or other geo-
metric quantities are computed to cha-
racterize the full cross-sectional picture.
An operator-friendly graphic display of
this data allows the product to be moni-
tored during the production.
The nominal values for the profile can be
directly imported from the CAD design
files, which allows easy and problem free
n As a pioneer of on-line measurement
committed to extensive research and de-
velopment activities, Zumbach Electro-
nics has continuously grown as one of
the world-wide leading manufacturers of
on-line measuring and control systems.
Top priority at Zumbach Electronics re-
mains to be customer relationships
through local presence combined with
proven high quality products, services,
personal consulting and support.
ZUMBACH’s PROFILEMASTER® systems
are developed from a core set of proprie-
tary mega pixel camera/laser modules
and software technologies. The applica-
tion of these technologies has been
adapted to serve the specific measure-
ment, monitoring and flaw detection
needs of extruded plastic and rubber
tubes, hoses, profiles, wire and cable,
wood plastic composites and more.
Customer Benefits
• Provides 100% inspection
• Reduces start-up time
• Increases the accuracy of your end
product
In-line Profile & Shape Measurement and Monitoring
configuration of the device. Changes in
speed and twist within normal limits
have no influence on the measurement.
Special regard was taken to develop user
friendly and flexible software for the
PROFILEMASTER ® system. The program
has 3 working modes:
• Operation: For measurements during
the production. All operational steps
have been simplified as far as possible.
The desired functions for the measure-
ment of a particular product e.g. condi-
tions for Start /End and records, are only
entered once and stored in the memory
together with the measured data.
• Entering Product Data: Enter the
measurement requirement and define
how the measured data should be pro-
cessed. The flexible functions in the soft-
ware program can be configured to al-
low products to be measured exactly as
the customer requires.
• Service and System Configuration:
The functions in the program can be se-
lected according to the operator’s re-
quirements during the initial installation
of the system. Moreover, the default va-
lues used for pre-processing can be
changed to suit each product.
