36 Extrusion International 4/2020 MEASURING TECHNOLOGY FOR ROUND PRODUCTS Replacing the Lump Detector – AllRounDia DualVision – the First Single-Unit System Performing Complete Contour Measurement and Surface Inspection at the Same Time Themarket launch of AllRounDia DualVision is PIXARGUS’ answer to themarket’s demand for cost-efficient 360° inspection of round product. This two-in-one systemof extremely compact designmeasures and inspects tubes, hoses or cables with a 100%defect detection rate. Also regarding the price, this smart defect detector can score points AllRounDia DualVision – the first single system performing complete 360° contour measurement and surface inspection of round product at the same time In contrast to conventional (6-point) axis-based measurements, the optical sensors in an AllRounDia DualVision gauge capture 4 million measuring points, guaranteeing gapless inspection around the complete circumference without any dead zone effects AllRounDia DualVision (DV) combines PIXARGUS’ vast know-how and expertise in an ideal way: the hardware and software of PIXARGUS’ highly successful ProfilCon- trol 7 technology have been optimized and adapted to the measurement of products of simple, round contours. The result is a small-budget system that measures both the surfaces and contours of tubes, hoses and cables gap- lessly, continuously and around the complete circumfer- ence of the products – with one single sensor head. A real novelty! An additional advantage of the new two-in-one gauge is its extremely compact design, which makes it very easy for operators to integrate the system into their production lines. “Reduced to the max”: this is how the PIXARGUS experts call this design approach. They are
