Zumbach Electronics presents a new Lump and Neckdown detector of the highest level. For continuous quality control, lump & neckdown detectors are as important as diameter gauges and spark testers. The new line of KW 13TRIO detectors capture with the highest accuracy, reliability and velocity even the smallest lumps and neck downs in wires, conductors, optical fibres, cables, tubes and hoses.

Thanks to its very compact design, the KW 13TRIO can easily be integrated in any extrusion line or rewinding process. The measuring field is dimensioned in such a way that during the start-up, even extremely big lumps pass smoothly through. Its open design enables quick and easy threading of the product without stopping production.

A powerful micro processor as well as full digital signal processing, makes this lump & neckdown detector an essential tool for faultless quality control. This detector is, in addition to other versions, also available as a stand alone device. Thanks to a local operating and display unit, the KW 13TRIO can be fully operated and configured at the device.

A unique measuring principle and complex optics solution ensure immunity to stray and intense light whilst providing the highest detection accuracy and identification of lumps and neckdowns in the micrometer range.

Highlights

• Complex optics allows:

– Min. detectable fault height of 0.01 mm (.0004 in.)

– Min. fault length of 0.2…0.3 mm (.008… .011 in.)

• Full digital signal processing DSP

• Very compact design
