CELLMASTER®

Multi-Sensor Data Acquisition / Control and Display System.

A combination of all possible sensors offers seamless measurement, monitoring of the process, and control for practically all production lines in the most diverse industries.
These 3-loop systems measure, monitor, and control simultaneously in real time diameter, capacitance, and degree of blow off. CELLMASTER® controls "foam" and "foam skin" as well as solid insulation. If needed, a "hot-cold" control for capacitance and/or diameter is also available.

Important Features

  • Easy operation
  • Sophisticated software and 3 static regulating units for screw rpm or line speed, position of telescopic cooling trough / quench point, and temperature of the heat zone(s)
  • Retrofit onto existing lines without problem
  • Total communication with host or PLC, thanks to comprehensive protocol
  • Available as OEM version

USYS 8100 CELLMASTER® SYSTEM

Up to 8 sensors may be connected for dimensions as well as additional sensors for faults, events, line speed, etc. It is also possible to connect KW - lump and neckdown detectors, spark testers and a length detector.
 
USYS 8100

CELLMASTER® applications for foam extrusion allow the connection of up to 3 ODAC® diameter measuring heads and up to 2 CAPAC® capacitance sensors which can be used together with the diameter measuring head.


Typical sensors for CELLMASTER® systems:

ODAC Spark Tester METREX CAPAC KW

ODAC® for diameter

Spark tester for cable insulations

ODEX® for eccentricity

CAPAC® for capacitance

KW for lump and neckdown

"Hot - Cold" Control

ZUMBACH system with one measuring head each at the beginning and at the end of the cooling trough use SIGMA-EXPERT control software in order to compensate automatically for the shrinkage from "hot" to "cold" diameter. This function can be used individually or in combination with diameter and capacitance sensors for compensation of the "hot-cold" variations (control of expansion).

SIGMA-EXPERT Controller and CpK-Pilot

Intelligent, self-adapting system for dynamic control. With CpK-Pilot the target value will automatically be optimized to be set at the lower specification limit, resulting from statistical computations. This translates into material savings.
