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
![]() |
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.
