The wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter and ovality measurement solution can now be read directly into a system control or combined with other Zumbach solutions via USYS processors.

Main properties of the “Rayex S” Series
– all in one! Complete system for precision measurement of wallthickness, ovality, eccentricity and diameter
– measuring accuracy independent of external process influences such as the material temperature
– operator friendly due to smart measurement algorithms
– state of the art connectivity with integrated Profinet IO, Ethernet TCP/IP, Ethernet IP, or OPC UA communication protocols
– near to zero maintenance due to conceptual design

“Rayex” systems are available as "Dynamic Rayex D” and “"Static Rayex S” models.

The dynamic “Rayex D” is a low energy X-ray and high speed scanning system for the measurement of wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter and ovality of multilayer (up to 3 layers) or single layer products in CV lines or others. “Rayex D” is based on the worlds first system which was able to measure all relevant cable parameters from outside the tube looking through beryllium windows.

 The static “Rayex S” is a fully new X-ray system based on latest technology and made with top quality. Unconventional solutions reunited in unique advantages, flexibility and high measurement performance: Easy and reliable operation, High accuracy, Longevity, especially of X-ray sources, Easy maintenance and service, High safety level. The systems measures at 4 wall thickness points, 2 diameters, ovality with 2 X-ray sources under 90° to each other. There are no moving parts and no water cooling is necessary.

Over the past more than 20 years, more than 200 “Rayex D” measuring systems have been put to use successfully all over the world. The “Rayex D” product range is Zumbach's solution for wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter and ovality testing in the cable industry, for low, medium and high voltage applications. Specially developed for the production of high-voltage cables manufactured in CV or silane lines: CV lines (CCV, VCV, MDCV, steam CV and rubber CV), Silane systems for LV or MV cables or Subsea cables (offshore cables). Sometimes, the system can also be used on foamed insulation in the tube industry.
