Compact design, high capacity and budget-friendly - these attributes have always been synonymous with the inline inspection system AllRounDia DV. Now, Pixargus has taken this highly versatile system for the inspection of tubes, pipes and hoses to the next level: A hard and software upgrade makes it now possible to inspect round products 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 is now able to continuously inspect both the entire surface and diameter of tubes and hoses inline, during the extrusion process. A highly compact defect finder that provides excellent performance at an attractive price!
With the new upgrade to its AllRounDia DV systems, Pixargus is setting new standards in several respects. The German measuring technology specialist based in Würselen near Aachen now offers its inspection system for round products with a measuring field extended to a respectable 70 mm. Proven features such as the compactness of the design, the time-saving Plug & Play functions and the two-in-one technology - the system inspects both the surface and the dimension in just one sensor unit - are now complemented by powerful system extensions that have raised the bar in defect detection performance. AllRounDia DV thus provides the user further enhanced defect recognition capabilities, a significantly expanded range of analysis tools and more automated processes. Pixargus Sales Manager Michael Frohn puts it in a nutshell: “The upgrade means that we have now more modules and significantly more performance. You get everything you are looking for from a highly compact, small-footprint system.“
Live images and enhanced views - The new HMI makes the difference
AllRounDia DV is now available with a separate monitor as an option. Its 21.5 inch screen is much larger than the integrated display. This provides more room for detailed views of the identified flaws. However, not only the graphical user interface has grown with the update. In the background, the software of the ProfilControl 7 technology also provides a substantially extended range of analysis functions. One new feature is the AllRounDia DV’s capability of showing the defects now also in camera live images instead of just schematic defect views.
High-precision defect analysis - For a better quality of production
In the upgraded version, AllRounDia DV also provides defect tracking a further boost in performance: It is now possible to view in parallel the last twenty defects of the production in process instead of previously a maximum of five defects. Additionally, the upgrade makes it possible for the operators to clearly identify by which camera a defect has been recorded. Thus the defects can be even more precisely localized. Sales Manager Frohn comments: “To summarize, we get more detailed information on every single defect. This allows us to better track and analyze the defects and improve the quality of production as a result.”
A dent or a drop of water? Reliable defect recognition by means of the new replay function
Recognizing a defect quickly and reliably at high production speeds within a quick sequence of images can be a challenge. But now the new replay function of the ProfilControl 7 technology is there to help. By replaying the camera images, the operators can assess the surface, roughness and flaw characteristics much better and, based on this enhanced knowledge, identify defects more reliably during the running production.
