Unique inline solution for full inspection of tubes, hoses, pipes and cables
PIXARGUS has taken this highly versatile system for the quality inspection of round extrusion products to the next level: A hard- and software upgrade makes it now possible to inspect tubes, hoses, pipes and cables of up to 70 mm in diameter. Thanks to new extensions and software functions taken over from the proven ProfilControl 7 technology, the two-in-one system has been further optimized based on customer feedback — delivering even greater user-friendliness and enhanced efficiency, while maintaining the same high level of performance in precise surface and diameter inspection during the extrusion process.
Diameter measurement
All-round technology instead of 6-point measurement
Our camera-based laser triangulation gauge is the first ever inspection system to assure gapless 360° measurements of round and oval contours. While conventional axis-based measurements using the shadowing method (see illustration) cover only six single points, the optical sensors of AllRounDia DV capture 4 million pixels. This makes the difference because each individual point can be decisive for the quality of a product. While the single-point method measures each single point highly accurately, it does not capture the area between the points and detects only defects of relatively large topographic extension (lumps). In contrast, AllRounDia DV guarantees that each and every point is inspected with the same high accuracy and repeatability of 15 µm.
Surface inspection
More and better than a lump detector
AllRounDia DV continuously checks not only the contour for any deviations from the target, but the entire surface area. The PIXARGUS system employs LED lighting, no laser light, as comparable systems do. The specially developed lighting concept assures that the field of vision and the measuring field are perfectly homogeneously lit. Precisely for this reason, even difficult to detect irregularities and flaws in the material, such as fissures, inclusions, flecks and other high-contrast defects from a size of only 0,3 mm, are reliably captured.
Detectable defects and deviations
Specially developed lighting elements ensure that the measuring field is extremely homogeneously lit, allowing the camera sensors to even capture and process invisible and difficult-to-detect irregularities and defects – for example, specks, pores, scratches, blisters, fissures or grooves.
