PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT
Zumbach Electronics gearing up for METEC 2015
Zumbach will exhibit equipment and solutions for precise measurement and monitoring of dimensions and shape/geometry of any bar, pipe or profi le, hot and cold. With two sophisticated technologies Zumbach can always off er an optimal solution. STEELMASTER is based
on tangential laser scanning with ODAC® scanners and PROFILEMASTER® is based on highly developed “light cut” vision
technology. Both technologies feature many, interesting news. Diff erent models are available, covering dimensions up to 600mm.
For cold application such as
Centreless grinding, peeling, tube welding, drawing, rolling, straightening etc. ZUMBACH is off ering sophisticated and well established solutions with the ODAC® laser scanners and USYS processors for diameter
measurement. The new BENDCHECK system for the measurement and monitoring of Bend (Straightness) of Bars, Rods and Pipes will be on display amongst others.
PROFILEMASTER® SPS measuring unit for products up to diameters of 600mm OD (550 x550mm square)
Cranes in corrosive production areas to benefi t from upgraded hoists
Galvanising and fi nishing plant productivity is reliant on the vital role played by overhead cranes. A major potential problem for all equipment is the presence of highly corrosive degrease and fl ux agents that produce fi nely vaporised hydrochloric acid in the atmosphere. Street Crane Company, the UK’s largest factory crane and hoist
producer, has developed a range of modifi ed and upgraded hoists to address the corrosive environmental challenges. These are based on the ZX Hoist platform, a modern wire rope unit that has proven extremely reliable in normal manufacturing use. Standard fi nishes and materials degrade easily in highly aggressive conditions, to overcome this ZX Hoist steel components are hand
fi nished in a two-part epoxy paint. These epoxy resins are stable and unaff ected by many acids and aggressive chemicals. PVC and other standard plastics are prone to accelerated degradation in intensely acidic environments so brass cable glands are used in place of plastic, rubber insulated cable in place of PVC and customary limit switches are replaced with metal
bodied components. The trolley brake is fi tted with a stainless steel back plate to resist the pitting and corrosion that could reduce brake performance. Rope guides are also modifi ed with the body and block being made from high density white polyethylene. The motors used on these ZX Hoists are specifi ed for purpose and include heavy duty cast iron cooling fans. Care is taken in sealing the hoist brake and overload assembly which is housed in a protective enclosure. Extensively used by galvanisers and other fi nishing companies in the UK, Street Crane also export this equipment widely and have users in Finland, Thailand, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Sweden and elsewhere. Local service and support is provided by a world-wide network of distributors.
