New surface inspection system for corrugated tubing.

The detection of surface defects on ring structures used to be extremely difficult terrain for quality control. But now the new PIXARGUS surface inspection system for corrugated tubes handles this task with ease: 100% surface inspection, thanks to a special measuring head design and newly developed algorithms.

The challenge: because of the ring structure the surface alternates between plane and curved areas. For the surface inspection of corrugated tubes, entirely new algorithmic processes have now been developed. They enable - for the first time ever – the recognition of transitions from plane to wavy, and vice versa, and the masking out of different product structures.

Thanks to the special measuring head design, the surface structure of corrugated tubing can be captured from different angles by a total of eight cameras. Never before has it been possible to inspect not only the peaks and valleys, but the complete transition areas in between.

Even the smallest of defects – holes, dents, blisters, nodes and scratches, for example – can easily cause safety-critical damage. Here, the new surface inspection system for corrugated tubes guarantees 100% reliability. Even crimped joints can be inspected continuously for flaws. Interested? Just get in touch.

The system can be easily integrated into corporate networks, it is linkable with third-party equipment, e.g. sensors, and it is ready for use within innovative Industry 4.0 environments.

Compact, robust, made in Germany: Thanks to its rugged stainless steel construction, ProfilControl 7 S Corrugated Tube operates with maximum reliability and precision even under the most challenging operating conditions - in quality made in Germany.
