Extrusion International 2-2026

23 Extrusion International 2/2026 mal light yield, the smart Pro lControl software reli - ably lters out any interfering external light effects. The standard equipment of Pro lControl 7 PlastX in - cludes an external multi-touch monitor, a mobile sup- port frame, and the encoder. Made for standard applications: Intelligent inspection with 4 cameras The basic version of Pro lControl 7 PlastX requires less cameras. By combining optimized optical equip- ment with high-capacity camera elements, PiXARGUS makes it possible to capture, in particular, the clamp- ing dimensions most reliably. “Where we used to need eight cameras, we now achieve the same high reliability and performance with just four or, at the maximum, six cameras,” explains sales manager Frohn. No chance for grooves: Less scrap also in laminated pro le production Grooves are usually not very obvious, but they can run over extended distances along the pro le. Machine op - erators often notice them rather late or fail to see them completely. Especially in window pro le production, it is essential that grooves are detected at an early stage. About 40% of all plastic pro les for windows are lami - nated with a protective foil directly at the extrusion line, making any surface defects hardly visible afterwards. Therefore, the groove detection module of the Pro l - Control 7 PlastX system checks the surface quality prior to the lamination process so that it can indicate any ex- isting defects beforehand. In this way, the module helps to reduce scrap and process costs and produce more economically. Always the perfect combination of hardware and software: The modular and scalable Pro lControl 7 PlastX system ProfilControl 7 PlastX is designed to inspect simple to complex profiles such as window seals, zipper pro- files, cable ducts, etc. The system can be adjusted most flexibly and in a pinpoint manner to the differ- ent quality requirements of plastic profile extrusion. As requested by the customer, the systems can be designed for 360° dimension measurement or 100% surface inspection – or, as a combination of both functions, as an All-in-One solution. Whether for ba- sic applications or complex extrusion processes: In all its equipment variants, ProfilControl 7 PlastX provides maximum functionality, an intuitive HMI and the greatest possible flexibility. Visit PiXARGUS in Shanghai at Chinaplas from April 21-24 (Booth iNOEX SiST 2.1G02) and in Barcelona at Equiplast from June 2-5 (Booth Comercial DOUMA, Hall 3/C82).

At the same time, the surface inspection function gives aws such as scratches, bubbles, inclusions, etc. no chance to remain undetected. A dedicated software module has been included speci cally for the reliable detection of die grooves Focused on the very essential: The new, modular sensor head design of the Pro lControl-7 PlastX dispenses with a housing and a hinged cover. Optimally arranged optical sensors and smartly set camera angles enable 100% defect detection with just 4 cameras. The Pro lControl software lters out any interfering external light effects, ensuring a homogeneous illumination eld with maximal light yield
