It is possible, for example, to select views of certain surface areas and magnify defect images virtually with a swipe of your finger New lighting concept The system uses a new, fundamentally modified lighting con- cept. “With the new concept, we achieve a very homogeneous illumination of the measuring field and a significantly better light yield,” explains the project engineer responsible at PIXARGUS for the technological upgrade of the system. The roughness pa- rameters that determine the contrast and level of detail for the sensors can be adjusted much more finely. “The system’s set- tings can be made with a sensitivity of 99.9%, no matter whether we are inspecting white, yellow, green, red, transpa- rent, matt or glossy surfaces.” The optimized inspection and measuring software eliminates all interfering reflections. Combined or separate use of surface inspection and dimension measurement The underlying measuring technology has also been upgraded. While the previous systems could only perform dimension mea- surement and surface inspection in parallel, the upgraded sys- tem provides the option to switch the geometry measuring module on and off, as desired. Display of defects magnified with a swipe A further enhancement of the new AllRounDia DualVision ge- neration is its more comfortable integrated HMI. While the HMI of the earlier systems were only able to show the dimensional and surface-related information next to each other on the 10- inch screen, it is now also possible to display the information se- parately. The operator can call up specific views, such as certain surface areas, with simple navigation gestures. Thus, defect images can be magnified on the display virtually with a swipe of your finger. Validated for a wide product range – for more plug and play capability By analyzing existing reference samples and previous customer specimens, in particular specimens with glossy surfaces, PIXAR- GUS has put the new AllRounDia DualVision generation on a well validated basis for a very wide range of products. With obvious success: “When we receive a request from a cus- tomer now, all we need to do is perform a quick sample check. In more than 90% of the cases, we can sell the system ‘off the shelf’,” says PIXARGUS Sales Manager Michael Frohn. For a wide range of materials, the product data are preconfigured ex works. Hence, commissioning at the customer’s site takes just one day as a rule. The PIXARGUS team is very happy about this result: “With our upgraded system, we have created a new standard for plug and play.” Several commissionings at our customers’ sites have shown that it works. www.smart-extrusion.com 61 Extrusion Asia Edition 1/2023
