Product catalog summary

Introduction to MSD Series
The MSD series by ZUMBACH introduces a new line of diameter gauges designed for on-line diameter and ovality measurement, particularly in the cable and plastics industries. These gauges complement the ODAC® series and are characterized by their compact design, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.

Options and Accessories
The MSD series offers a variety of options and accessories to tailor solutions for specific applications. These include vertically adjustable stands, local displays with touch screens, air curtains, length detection accessories, additional analogue interface boxes, and various cable lengths.

Special Features
The MSD models are equipped with features such as multi-colored LEDs for axis lighting, built-in external light filters, active redundant measurement with up to 8 LED sources, and a KW function for surface defect detection. The ergonomic design allows for easy access and removal in confined spaces.

Applications
MSD gauges are versatile and can be used in cable manufacturing lines, tube and hose extrusion lines, and quality monitoring in the steel and metal industries.

Measuring Principle
The gauges use CMOS technology with multiple LED light sources to project shadows on a line sensor, which calculates the position of the shadow to define a square enclosing the object for measurement.

Communication and Data Processing
MSD models support various interfaces for data processing and communication, including RS-232, Profibus DP, Ethernet, Profinet IO, and EtherNet/IP. The VISU-Touch screen provides a rugged interface for data visualization.

Technical Data
The MSD series includes models MSD 50, MSD 100, and MSD 200, each with specific measuring fields, accuracy, repeatability, and resolution. They operate within a temperature range of 0 to 45°C and support altitudes up to 3000 meters.

Dimensions and Specifications
Detailed dimensions and specifications are provided for each model, highlighting their compact and robust design suitable for various industrial environments.

Contact Information
ZUMBACH provides worldwide customer service and sales offices, with contact details for various regions including Europe, Asia, and North America.

MSD SERIES – A NEW ZUMBACH CONCEPT With the MSD diameter gauges, ZUMBACH introduces a new series of measuring heads for on-line diameter and ovality measurement and control. This new line complements the high-precision laser diameter measuring heads of the ODAC® series. The MSD models achieve their ideal efficiency in terms of price and performance specifically for applications in the cable and plastics industry. The experience of 55 years with on-line and off-line measurement and control technology has led to a product characterised by the most current and sophisticated technology and functionality...

MEASURING PRINCIPLE The measuring principle is based on the latest CMOS technology with several point-like LED's as light sources. The shadow of the object to be measured, originating from the various light sources, is projected on a line sensor. The line sensor calculates the position of the shadow, thus resulting in different measuring points. These points generate four fictitious shadow lines, which define a square enclosing the object to be measured. MSD 100 & MSD 200 * * Both figures only show the beam trajectory based on 2 light sources. Both the MSD 100 and MSD 200 models are equipped...

MSD 200: measuring field ø 54 mm (2.1 in.) 2) M is the measuring field height. In practice, the largest object diameter equal measuring field height minus biggest error, minus instability of position. 3) Valid for object diameter bigger than "min. object ø" and smaller than 95% of the measuring field M. The centre of this object is in the middle of measuring field...
