ZUMBACH 60th ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTS & EQUIPMENT Industry 4.0
These days, everyone’s talking about Industry 4.0. In actual fact, the technologies involved in Industry 4.0 are well-known; the concepts are visionary but not new.
What does ZUMBACH offer its customers to address current challenges? ZUMBACH has recognised the importance of data to its customers, from acquiring, combining and displaying measured values from different instruments, via transmission of the data to a customer server, to the preparation of statistics and reports. Industry 4.0 introduces further challenges, understood as follows by ZUMBACH: • M2M communication (machine-to-machine communication) based on established standards
• M2H communication (machine-to-human communication) based on platform-independent display devices and standard software
STEELMASTER measuring systems in a wire rod rolling mill Summary
Produce more, better, and at lower cost Zumbach systems, integrated into your manufacturing process, enable you to increase your output with lower material costs; they also reduce downtime, allow for safer operation of your equipment and provide for flawless quality control. In addition, they also allow for an immediate quality improvement in cable manufacture through tighter tolerances, better transmission capabilities, easier subsequent manufacture, and simple pairing of conductors, as typical examples.
Intelligently invested – amortized quickly Today, in-line measurement is a fundamental part of many production
lines. Investment in Zumbach systems pays for itself practically in every manufacturing process. Continuous direct material savings and scrap reduction, mean these high-performance controls are amortized in a few months. In addition, you benefit from substantial quality improvements and greater customer satisfaction, factors which cannot be expressed in numbers alone.
A firm grasp on all technologies Thanks to extensive research and development activities, we are in
command of important technologies such as lasers/optics, ultrasonic, x-ray, high-voltage technology, computer hardware and software, including OPC UA and many others. This enables us to apply to each application, the most appropriate technology, and allows us to develop new and unique solutions. Numerous patents obtained around the world demonstrate our strength in innovation. Some examples: • Highly accurate diameter measurement with laser (ODAC®) • Concentricity/diameter and ovality measurement with one gauge only, based on inductive and laser technology (ODEX®)
• Profile measuring systems using light section principle and machine vision PROFILEMASTER®)
• Non-contact measurement of coating thickness (UMAC®) • X-ray measuring systems for cross-section measurement in CV-lines (RAYEX®) • Capacitance measurement of the highest accuracy (CAPAC®) • Foam/Foam skin CD-control (CELLMASTER®) • Integrated measuring/control systems for extrusion (JACKETMASTER & WALLMASTER)
• Spark testers meeting all standards (AST, DST, IST) and calibrators • Full circumferential detection of surface faults (KW TRIO, SIMAC®) • Inductive conductor preheating with temperature control (TEMPMASTER)
M2H interface with integrated OPC UA software in Zumbach instruments Flawless documentation of quality
ZUMBACH instruments are CE-compliant and meet all relevant regulations assuring that your product will always conform to the standards. Where required, our systems guarantee, at any time, a detailed traceability of all parts produced. Documentation by SPC charts – as a printout of a directly connected printer or uploaded to a plant network or to a mainframe.
Continuity since almost 60 years Founded in 1957 in Switzerland as a family enterprise, Zumbach has successfully become one of the leading providers of on-line measuring systems in the world. Steadfast in holding to the values which made our success possible, they are the guiding principle in the Zumbach group: Customer proximity through presence and human contact combined with highest quality standards for product, consulting, and service.

In the field of M2M, customer fieldbuses are particularly supported, in compliance with standards and the measures required for certification. Beyond this, OPC UA integrated in USYS processors as well as in PROFILEMASTER®, STEELMASTER, RAYEX®, SIMAC® and others are available to customers. Using the new OPC server gateway software, the majority of terminal devices can also receive data via OPC UA. OPC UA is a key element of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT). It enables horizontal and vertical integration across various levels of the automation pyramid, from the sensor to the ERP system.
