Extrusion International 3-2023

43 Extrusion International 3/2023 Engraving Acceptance software distinguishes between desired and accidental markings Corrugator dies can engrave sym- bols, numbers, letters and other markings into the product. To en- sure that these engraved features are not detected as defects, the in- spection system has to be able to recog- nize them as desired engravings. Also for this task, the upgrade to the ProfilControl 7 S CorrugatedTube software includes a new algorithm that automati- cally recognizes and accepts these engravings as desired features. This makes for additional ease of han- dling for the operator. ProfilControl 7 S CorrugatedTube – 100% defect recognition in corrugated tube production With the PIXARGUS inline inspec- tion system ProfilControl 7 S Corru - gatedTube, it has now become pos- sible for the very first time to inspect the entire wavy structure of corru- gated tubing. The innovative sensor unit is an advancement of the tech- nology and design of PIXARGUS’ proven PC7 S Tube inspection sys- tem. Eight high-performance cam- eras inspect the peaks, valleys and transition areas of the corrugated structure. In doing so, they can dis- tinguish between unwanted and de- sired structures and features. Holes, dents, blisters, nodes, scratches or cracks are detected with 100 percent reliability. As a result, out-of-spec production of corrugated tubing – and the production costs – can be significantly reduced.
