UMAC® - WALLMASTER

Product catalog summary
Overview: The UMAC® WALLMASTER systems by ZUMBACH are designed for in-line ultrasonic measurement and control of wall thickness and concentricity in products such as tubing, pipes, hoses, and cables. These systems utilize advanced digital signal processing (DSP) technology to provide real-time quality control data and process monitoring.
Key Features:
  • Capability to measure ultra-thin walls, small and large diameters, and multi-layer products.
  • Real-time data acquisition and control, reducing setup time, raw material usage, and scrap.
  • Automated quality control and reporting with potential ROI within months.
Technical Specifications:
  • Measurement of wall thickness from 0.05 mm to 99.95 mm and diameters from 0.2 mm to 400 mm.
  • Multi-layer measurement capability for up to 5 layers simultaneously.
  • Integration with existing gravimetric dosing systems for calibration.
Ultrasonic Measurement Principle: The system measures wall thickness based on the time difference of sound echoes from the product's surface and inner side, using a piezoelectric crystal to convert electrical energy into sound waves.
Applications:
  • Control of wall thickness and diameter in tubing and hoses.
  • Measurement during pipe extrusion up to 400 mm in diameter.
  • Measurement of insulation and jackets on cables with automatic calibration and hot/cold compensation.
Data Acquisition and Processing: The USYS IPC hardware offers modular alternatives for data acquisition and process control, with options for remote display and control via various interfaces such as RS, Profinet IO, Ethernet TCP/IP, and OPC UA.
Transducer Holders: Various models are available for different diameter ranges and installation types, including standard water trough and vacuum tank installations.
Additional Features:
  • USYS Web Server for remote access and process monitoring.
  • Sigma Expert for automatic process control adaptation.
  • USYS Report Manager for historical data storage and retrieval.
  • OPC Server Software for integration with other systems and devices.
Conclusion: The UMAC® WALLMASTER systems provide comprehensive solutions for precise measurement and control in extrusion processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing material waste.
