Extrusion International 1-2023

39 Extrusion International 1/2023 sors can be adjusted much more finely. “The system’s settings can be made with a sensitivity of 99.9%, no matter whether we are inspecting white, yellow, green, red, transparent, matt or glossy surfaces.” The opti - mized 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 per - form dimension measurement and surface inspection in parallel, the upgraded system 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 Dual- Vision generation is its more comfortable integrated HMI. While the HMI of the earlier systems were only able to show the dimensional and surface-related in- formation next to each other on the 10-inch screen, it is now also possible to display the information separately. 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, PIXARGUS has put the new AllRounDia Dual- Vision generation on a well validated basis for a very wide range of products. With obvious success: “When we receive a request from a customer 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 commission - ings at our customers’ sites have shown that it works.

Thus, the customers no longer depend on fixed calibration intervals that may interfere with the production process Dimension and surface information can now also be called up separately. It is possible, for example, to select views of certain surface areas and magnify defect images virtually with a swipe of your finger
