ZUMBACH Electronics, a leading supplier of non-contact measuring technologies for the metal and steel industry, has introduced its newest PROFILEMASTER SPS 80 gauge for in‑line measurement of any rebar type.
The sophisticated capabilities of ZUMBACH’s PROFILEMASTER SPS 80 enables the measurement of rebar products in hot rolling processes. With a unique processing feature, the full contour of a rebar is also captured and the cross section is extracted in such a way that core diameter, rib height, width and height, among other characteristics, can be measured and monitored.
The PROFILEMASTER SPS 80 is specially designed to measure the rebar in the rolling mill without having limitations in terms of rolling speed. Since many rolling mills produce rebar in more than one strand, ZUMBACH’s PROFILEMASTER can handle up to three strands simultaneously with one single gauge. Every individual strand is measured and related statistics can be generated.
ZUMBACH’s experience of supplying measuring systems into the metal and steel market helped it in designing a solid and reliable system for such applications and will also help its customers with higher quality and higher efficiency.
The PROFILEMASTER family consists of various models and, depending on the product size, ZUMBACH can offer the best suitable model to accommodate the complete range of products.
PROFILEMASTER systems are available with up to eight laser/camera modules, measuring continuously the cross section of the moving product. A powerful PC-based processor combines the captured line images of the individual cameras to yield the momentary cross section of the profile. All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle, and radius or other geometric quantities, are computed to characterise the full cross sectional picture. An operator friendly graphic display of this data allows the monitoring of the product during the whole process. The nominal values for the profile can be directly imported from CAD design files, which allows easy and problem free configuration of the device.
