Extrusion International 5-2026

26 Extrusion International 5/2026 Quality assurance in the smartest way The system’s intelligent software is key in making Pro lControl 7 XLine a high-performer. It forms the basis for the intuitive operation of the system and the performance of time-saving automated inspec- tion processes. Focused analysis functions enhance the effectiveness of defect tracking. Also on board: Various new smart assistance func- tions, such as a function that sup- ports the operator in setting up the inspection processes for products with varying surfaces. The system, for example, now proposes the op- timal roughness value, eliminating the manual effort for the operator. Now also for technological pro les: Economic inline inspection with 1-8 optical sensors Thanks to the new modular de- sign of the sensor head, Pro lCon - trol 7 RubberFleX can now provide customized setups for a wide range of EPDM products and applications. The smart inline inspection system is freely con gurable with 1 to 8 cam - eras, as needed, and can be exactly tailored to the inspection tasks and quality requirements of the applica- tion. This makes Pro lControl 7 Rub - berFleX the solution of choice not only for classical sealing pro les used in the automotive industry, but it now also provides a cost-ef cient so - lution for the inspection of techno- logical rubber pro les for air condi - tioners, refrigerators, windows, and numerous other applications. Surface. Dimension. DualVision Pro lControl 7 RubberFleX is available as a turnkey system for standard applications in rubber pro le extrusion and designed to be exibly extended. Depending on what the customer wishes, the inline system is laid out to perform dimension measurement or surface inspection – or both functions com- bined, as an All-in-One solution for complete all-round inspection. The standard equipment includes an ex- ternal 21.5” multi-touch mon - itor, a mobile support frame, and the encoder. The system is also available on request for nu- merous special applications, such as smart hole and ocking inspection, variable extrusion, and defect den- sity management (DDM). PiXARGUS GmbH A CiTEX Group Company Monnetstraße 2 52146 Würselen (GER) www.pixargus.com MEASUREMENT AND INSPECTION TECHNOLOGY Pro lControl 7 RubberFleX is freely con gurable with up to 8 multi-area cameras. The cameras can be exibly positioned so that all areas of the pro les that will later be visible can be continuously and completely captured. No chance for deformations – perfect dimensional accuracy is guaranteed all the way through Pro lControl 7 RubberFleX checks the contour, distances, angles, radii, heights, widths and clamping dimensions, and detects even the smallest specks, holes, scratches, bubbles, cracks, color deviations, etc.
