Zumbach

Zumbach Electronic, a global manufacturer of online measuring systems for optimizing product quality, manufacturing efficiency and production costs for the wire and cable, plastic & rubber extrusion and steel industries, will participate in wire India 2024, to showcase its latest innovations. These include:

RAYEX S – X-ray measuring system: Based on scanning x-ray technology, the RAYEX® S X-ray measuring system has been designed for in-line utilization, for measuring wall thickness, concentricity, exterior diameter and ovality of single or multi-layer tube and pipe applications including pressure hoses, medical hoses, composite pipes as well as medium and high voltage cables. The latest RAYEX® S models feature a new mechanical design and improved measuring algorithms, for the most accurate measuring results.

SIMAC – Surface quality measuring system: The Zumbach SIMAC® provides an advanced surface quality inspection solution that utilizes image processing to detect and identify material defects and anomalies in the production of cables, pipes and hoses, which would otherwise negatively impact profitability and product reliability. Surface defects that can occur during the manufacturing process include scratches, ridges, bubbles and cracks, as well as incomplete crystallization, burnt material, inclusions, missing coatings and colour defects, which are challenging to identify without an advanced surface quality inspection system.
