PROFILEMASTER®
Hi-Tech, Non-contact Profile Measurement
Systems for In-Line and Off-Line Use.
Problem Definition and Solution
The dimensions or even the complete cross-section of profiles
and pipes
made of metal, plastics or rubber must be continuously measured
and monitored in the manufacturing process.
The PROFILEMASTER® systems from Zumbach represent an accurate
and
economical solution to the problem.
One or up to six laser / camera modules
measure the cross-section of the moving
profile.
A powerful PC based processor adds the
partial pictures of the cameras made up of
straight lines and radii together to yield the momentary cross-section
of the profile.
All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle and radii are
added together
to form the full cross-sectional picture.
The nominal values for the profile can be directly imported from
the CAD construction
(as DXF file) which allows easy and problem free programming.
Changes in speed and twist within normal limits have no affect on
the measurement.

System Overview
A PROFILEMASTER® system
for any requirement
When designing the PROFILEMASTER® system, concentration was
focused on the most suitable solution
in terms of price / performance ratio for the application.
•
Due to the modularity of the PROFILEMASTER® system this goal
could be achieved.
•
The combination of 1 to 6 laser / camera modules allows the measurement
of virtually all shapes,
achieving an optimal measurement result with the smallest possible
number of laser / camera modules.
The use of the system is practically unlimited due to the numerous
model versions, with or without
protective housings. Allowing the PROFILEMASTER® system to be
used in a wide range of applications.
The range extends from the laboratory applications over extrusion
lines for plastics and rubber profile
as well as harsh environments that are typical in the production
of steel and metal profiles.

Measuring
Principle
One or multiple lasers (depending on the number of modules)
project
a visible laser contour on or around the product and this
is then registered
by a similar number of CCD cameras (light section principle).
