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.
