PROFILEMASTER® STEEL HOT Profile Measurement Systems

Hi-Tech, Non-contact Profile Measurement Systems for In-Line and Off-Line Use. A PROFILEMASTER® system for any requirement System Overview When designing the PROFILEMASTER® system, concentration was focused on the most suitable solution in terms of price / performance ratio for the application. Due to the modularity of the PROFILEMASTER® system this goal could be achieved. The combination of 1 to 6 laser / camera modules allows the measurement of virtually all shapes, achieving an optimal measurement result with the smallest possible number of laser / camera modules. The use of the system is practically unlimited due to the numerous model versions, with or without protective housings. Llowing the PROFILEMASTER® system to be used in a wide range of applications. The range extends from the laboratory applications over extrusion lines for plastics and rubber profile as well as harsh environments that are typical in the production of steel and metal profiles. Problem Definition and Solution 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 six 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.
