42 Extrusion International 1/2023 QUALITY CONTROL Next Generation of the AllRounDia DualVision System – Now for All Colours and for Matt and Glossy Surfaces Measuring technology specialist PIXARGUS has enhanced its small-budget system for round products – AllRounDia DualVision – with a major upgrade. This two-in-one inspection system, designed to measure both the entire surfaces and contours of hoses, tubes and cables continuously and through 360°, has been fitted with a newly developed light ring and a new lighting concept. With these new advanced features, the system is now also able to measure and inspect glossy round products and translucent, semi-transparent hoses. T he new-generation system comes in a slightly differ- ent look – for a good reason: Instead of the open light ring that gave the earlier system its typical omega shape, it now has a completely enclosed illumination field. Some of the interior components have also been modified: The LED arrays in the measuring head, for ex - ample, have been fitted with new diffuser material to optimize light diffusion. New lighting concept The system uses a new, fundamentally modified light - ing concept. “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 parameters that determine the contrast and level of detail for the sen- The upgraded version of AllRounDia DualVision is validated for analysis of an extended range of products. The systems are supplied ex works with data preconfigured for numerous products and materials. The data can be called up via the product selection menu on the display The next-generation AllRounDia DualVision system from PIXARGUS features a closed illumination field. This provides more homogeneous lighting and, as a result, an even better light yield than before. Therefore, surface inspection of glossy round products or translucent and semi-transparent hoses is no longer a problem
