Dimensional measurement with gauges on rails or as component versions for large measuring distances
Zurück
Zumbach offers a complete line of modular, single axis ODAC laser gauges. They are available either mounted on a rail or as components, i.e. with separate sender and receiver units for flexible installation, depending on the application in any position. Thanks to the use of high precision, telecentric optics, it is possible to mount sender and receiver units in big distance to each other (for big measuring distances, depending on the model up to 3m/10ft.). This enables the application even in areas with reduced space capabilities or it multiple sender/receiver pairs can be arranged in the same measuring level, offering thus a multi-axis measurement. The gauges are based on the latest state of laser scanning technology and on Zumbach's long-lasting experience in this field.
Thanks to the practically unlimited installation and configuration possibilities, these gauges can virtually be used in all manufacturing processes, such as:
– in the extrusion of cables, hoses, profiles etc.
– in the steel and metal industries: drawing, grinding, cold and hot rolling of rods, tubes etc.
– in NDT lines for any product
– in the food industry for packaging, sausage skins and more
– in the medical industry for catheters etc.
Advantages:
– Very high scan rate, depending on the model up to 2000/s
– Highest accuracy
– Compact and rugged design
– Various measurement modes, e.g. for diameter, gap width, depth penetration, multiple measurement etc.
– Special beam geometries available (depending on model):
– "Narrow Beam" for contour measurements
– "Parallel Beam" for profiles and similar
– Models with integrated processor (RS, Ethernet, Profibus DP)
