ODEX® 10 (Pat. pend.) is a novel concept from ZUMBACH for very accurate
and reliable monitoring of insulation diameter
and conductor eccentricity/concentricity during extrusion or other insulating
processes of ferrous and non-ferrous conductors.
ZUMBACH's extensive experience with thousands of inductive EX-TEST and
METREX® monitors, and ODAC® laser diameter
sensors led to this most advanced system. The ODEX® measures
eccentricity, diameter and ovality within a few microns
(1µ = 0.001 mm [.00004 in.]). In applications
of modern data cables CAT 5...8 and many other cable products, this
often decides if the product passes or fails Quality Control Requirements.
Because of the outstanding linearity, the ODEX® can be mounted stationary
in most applications and without the need
of a servo or mechanical tracking system to keep the product centered.
The acquisition of the outer diameter
in two axes is achieved with high frequency laser scanning technology
while
the measurement of the inner conductor position is performed inductively,
utilizing several measuring coils.
