The dimensions or even the complete cross-section of profiles and pipes made of metal, plastics or rubber must be continuously measured and monitored in the manufacturing process. The PROFILEMASTER systems from Zumbach represent an accurate and economical solution to the problem. One or up to 8 laser/camera modules measure the cross section of the moving profile. A powerful PC based processor adds the partial pictures of the cameras made up of straight lines and radii together to yield the momentary cross section of the profile. All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle and radii are added together to form the full cross-sectional picture. The nominal values for the profile can be directly imported from the CAD construction (as DXF file) which allows easy and problem free programming. Changes in speed and twist within normal limits have no affect on the measurement.

PROFILEMASTER is the perfect solution for:

• For all profiles and pipes including steel, metal, plastic, rubber and other materials
• Measures and monitors product geometry continuously
• Displays key dimensions, angles, radii, etc.
• Alerts operator when product is out of tolerance
• Improved process control and CpK
• Scrap reduction Savings on raw material and post processing costs
• Increased product quality = Higher customer satisfaction
• Seamless integration of the PC-based system with your network

STEELMASTER gauges with tangential laser scanning measure critical dimensions such as diameter, ovality, polygonality, width, height, diagonals of billets, bar, flats, rod, rebar with high accuracy and at high rates.

Processes include hot rolling, extrusion, Pilger, continuous casting / rolling etc. Up to 4 gauges can be processed by a central PC. High performance
real-time processing, optical fibre transmission and ETHERNET for plant networking.
