# ODAC

Connect a Zumbach ODAC measuring head.

ODAC is Zumbach's series of laser-based diameter measuring heads. They measure the diameter, ovality, and position of round products and profiles without contact. They are typically used in wire, cable, and hose extrusion as well as in plastics and rubber processing.

The number in the model name indicates the measuring field (the maximum measurable diameter) in millimeters. An **ODAC 34XY** therefore measures up to approx. 34 mm, an **ODAC 64XY** up to approx. 64 mm. The `XY` stands for dual-axis measurement.

## Supported protocols
