Profile inspection at Plastima

In a continuous extrusion process, a deviation keeps running until someone spots it. Inline profile inspection brings that moment forward: every metre of profile is checked for surface defects and dimensional accuracy, so you can adjust immediately and limit scrap. Plastima supplies the measuring systems of Pixargus, the German specialist that has been developing optical inline inspection for profile extrusion for more than 25 years.

For profiles there are three systems: ProfilControl 7 PlastX for plastic profiles, ProfilControl 7 RubberFleX for rubber profiles, and the compact entry-level system iProfilControl. All three measure optically and without contact, and thanks to DualVision technology they are available as an All-in-One system combining surface inspection and geometry measurement in a single sensor head.

ProfilControl 7 PlastX

ProfilControl 7 PlastX turnkey inspection system for plastic profiles

The ProfilControl 7 PlastX is the solution for standard applications in plastic profile extrusion: window profiles, zipper profiles, cable ducts and similar products. The turnkey system measures the full 360° geometry (contours, distances, angles, radii and clamping dimensions) and inspects 100% of the visible surface — including die grooves, before protective film is laminated.

Technical features:

  • 4 cameras, scalable to 6 thanks to the open, modular sensor head
  • High-performance LED lighting with filtering of exterior light
  • Groove detection before protective film lamination
  • 21.5″ Full HD multi-touchscreen; also remotely operable
  • Mobile, sturdy frame; electrical cabinet in powder-coated steel
  • Optionally as All-in-One with DualVision: surface and geometry in one system
  • Interfaces: LAN/Ethernet, USB 3.0, digital I/O, HDMI; optional OPC UA and PLC (Industry 4.0)

iProfilControl

iProfilControl compact desktop inspection system by Pixargus

iProfilControl brings the proven ProfilControl technology into a compact, cost-optimized desktop series. The system has an integrated computing unit — no separate electrical cabinet is needed — and therefore requires very little space at the line. The ideal entry-level system for automatic quality inspection that grows with your requirements with 4, 6 or 8 cameras: from simple profiles to complex geometries, and also complex hoses and tubes.

Technical features:

  • Compact desk-top system with integrated computing unit — plug & play
  • Scalable with 4, 6 or 8 cameras, retrofittable at a later stage
  • Hinged, rotatable stainless steel sensor head — no unwanted exterior light effects
  • Remote control via tablet, notebook or networked PC; optional 21.5″ multi-touch monitor
  • Versions: iPC Dimension (geometry), iPC Surface (surface) or iPC DualVision (both)
  • Interfaces: LAN/Ethernet, USB 3.0, digital I/O; optional OPC UA, PLC and RFID (Industry 4.0)
