production manager at SWM International. “It reduced our previous process for acquiring an accurate measurement from about two hours to five minutes.” SWM, which specialises in manufacturing
polypropylene (PP) and HDPE tubes and pipes, uses the UMAC R to maximise efficiency and save cost by reducing waste. SWM’s traditional way of measuring products –
off-line, using calipers – was time-consuming and resulted in significant material waste and produc- tion downtime, which drove up production costs. Adopting the UMAC R offered fast eccentricity testing capabilities, which reduced start-up times and allowed for quicker changeovers. Real-time feedback enabled immediate adjustments, ensuring consistent product quality and reduced material waste. The UMAC R measures wall thickness, eccentric-
ity, and concentricity of tubes and pipes with high precision. It can handle product diameters ranging from 0.2mm up to 400mm. It has been developed with a range of different transducer holders that make it very versatile. A system-on-a-chip unit called UMAC CI is
integrated into the system. This expands capabili- ties with recipe-based operation (without needing manual setting manipulations based on the echo signal display), provides a 1kHz sample rate and an integrated webserver. The UMAC R provides fixed transducer holders, available in configurations for 4, 6 or 8 measuring points. The ring-shaped transducer mounting fixture is configured for installation into an existing vacuum tank and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines.
True measure Nordson Measurement & Control Solutions says that its TrueWall gauge uses ultrasonic echoes to generate fast, accurate wall thickness, diameter, and concentricity measurements. The sensor can output different frequencies and
can measure a variety of products such as multi- layer tubing, thin-walled tubing, clear tubing, and materials including polyamide, PE and PP. It is based on a patented AI-optimised wall
measurement technology. With its auto-search, auto-setup, and auto-tracking functions, it makes waveform setup instantaneous and completely automatic, says the company. In addition, it boasts
CONEXTRU Coextrusion systems stands for individual engineering, easy to operate and maintain, suitable for a wide range of applications.
