Extrusion International USA 5-2019

71 Extrusion International 5/2019 ASCONA stands for quality, service, safety and efficiency in the field of opti- cal profile measuring. Since 1988, locat- ed inMeckenbeuren, Germany. ASCONA’s systems aredesigned for fast, easy, and reliable profile measuring – in the lab or directly at the extrusion line. Their product portfolio begins with the starter models for discrete measure- ment of profiles in the lab, the promex BASIC FAST and promex ADVANCED FAST systems. The perfect solution for quality control inspection of profiles di- rectly at the extrusion line is the promex EXPERT system. The high-end models are not sensitive to vibrations, tempera- ture fluctuations, or dust – they are de- signed and intended to be used on the production floor. These measurement systems lead to quality improvement, reduction in scrap rates, cost savings, and increased pro- ductivity. Based on customer requests ASCONA is introducing two brand new measure- ment technologies: promex tooling plate measurement. ASCONA now has ASCONA’s promex solutions will pro- vide the customer with the most us- er-friendly, highly accurate, and fast measurement results, all built with un- beatable quality and industry leading support. ASCONA systems are a key to quality – 100%made in Germany. ASCONA GmbH www.ascona.de New Standards in the Field of Optical Profile Measuring Systems a measurement system available not only for measuring profiles but also for measuring the tooling plates. And promex coextrusion measure- ment: Also the coextruded profiles are no longer an issue for measurement. ASCONA is now able to measure two different material layers, even if there is no visible color difference. This new technology was developed based on some of the customers that started to mix fluorescent powder into the inside (recycled) material of their profiles. In addition to ASCONA’s dimensional measuring systems the company now has a solution available for the inline surface inspection of plastic profiles which is integrated directly into the ex- trusion line. The promex CSI PVC is designed to de- tect surface defects like grooves, spots, and streaks, as well as to sort them out, providing hands free 24/7 quality con- trol. promex CSI PVC is not only able to de- tect errors on white profiles but also on profileswith a light grey or brown color.
