Zumbach: Lump & neckdown detection of the highest level

For continuous quality control, lump & neckdown detectors are as important as diameter gauges and spark testers. The line of KW 13TRIO and KW 33TRIO 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 the separate operating and display unit BAE 2 KW, the KW 13TRIO and KW 33TRIO can be fully operated and configured at the device. This unit features an illuminated graphic module to display values and messages, red, yellow and green tolerance indicators for signalling operating states, a keyboard with function keys and a numeric keypad for manual instrument setting. The BAE 2 KW can be fixed at the operator station by means of the included wall mounting bracket (swivelling) or on the table.

Thanks to its very compact design, the KW 13TRIO and KW 33TRIO fault detectors 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 microprocessor 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.

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 (at KW 13TRIO)

- Min. fault length of 0.2...0.3 mm (at KW 13TRIO)

• Full digital signal processing DSP

• Very compact design.
