Whether in an extrusion, rewinding, automotive coiling or packaging application, this solution ensures a high level of precision and performance where faults in the insulation or jacket layers of electrical cables can occur and need to be detected. Zumbach Electronic can provide this assurance with its „DST 10“ spark tester.

The “DST 10’s” compact size and mounting capabilities ensure successful installation in any application, including horizontal, vertical or diagonal, making the spark tester a one-stop solution.

Compliant with the IEC and UL standards, its robust design, extreme dirt resistance, and unmatched performance guarantees operational reliability in the harshest conditions.

An extensive range of interfaces, including Profinet IO, EtherNet/IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, and others, ensures simple integration into any machine environment. An integrated web-server allows for localised operator display and operation, making it easy to implement a stand-alone device.

Standard features include bare patch and pin hole recording, with historical statistics showing the position of detected defects.

Zumbach Electronic also offers the “SP 40A” calibration and defect test solution, which can be used to check the operation and accuracy of any spark tester device. Unique in the market, this solution offers compatibility to any test frequency and voltage type.

Highlights
