Extrusion International USA 5-2022

48 Extrusion International 5/2022 K 2022 I n the forefront of the K show 2022, iNOEX announces the new corporate design as well as the cor- responding claim "INSPIRE BEYOND MEASUREMENT". The revised corpo- rate identity combines tradition with international aspirations and focuses clearly on a modern, emotional visual language and tonality. For more than 35 years, the company has been using its innovative strength and know-how to realise ideas with a future. Efficiency, precision and the willingness to push boundaries make the products and services even better. As an integrated solution provider, iNOEX delivers intelligent and innova- tive solutions and services that create added value for customers. The prod- ucts stand for high quality, reliability and user-friendliness. At the K show in Düsseldorf, iNOEX will be presenting the latest product developments in the field of high- precision measuring and control tech- nology as well as product premieres in radar technology. Innovative solutions for more efficient extrusion process - es – whether for pipe, hose, cable, film or profiles – as well as exciting novel - ties and versatile application possibili- ties await the visitors. WARP CP: Measuring system with 8 radar-based wall thickness sensors for recording the various structures of a corrugated pipe. The outer and inner diameters as well as the wall thickness- es of the bell, the crest, the liner and the valley can be resolved. The system is available for large corrugated pipes with diameters from 300 mm. The 8 sensors around the corrugated pipe scan it continuously. Since the cor- rugated tube has different structures, it is therefore necessary to assign the measurement data to the correspond- ing position on or in the pipe. The WARP-CP algorithms do this automati- cally and prepare the data for the user in such a way that he is provided with different graphics and corresponding measurement data for each structure. WARP 100: Inline pipe measuring system for wall thickness and diameter measurement at up to 38 measuring points and 19 axes. More than 1100 measurements per second guarantee a complete measurement. The WARP 100 in is available in three sizes and can be used for measurements in the diam- eter range from 60 to 630 mm. The specially developed optics allow the alignment of the radar wave to be focused on the centre of the pipe. The sensors are arranged in such a way that the measuring spots overlap, thus ensuring close-meshed coverage in the extrusion direction. The maximum line speed for 100 % coverage is up to 11.8 m/min. Measured variables such as wall thickness, diam- eter, ovality, eccentric- ity and process conditions (e.g. sagging) are precisely recorded, documented and used for automatic process control. WARP portable: Mo- bile, radar-based hand- held measuring device for punctual wall thickness measurement, specially designed for medium and large pipe extrusion aswell as for sheets. Wall thick- nesses from 2 to 110 mm (depending on the ma- terial) can be measured. Whether as a quick cen- tring aid in the start-up process, for final inspection of production or as a stock control device, the possible ap- plications are very flexible. Not only can wall thicknesses at pipe ends be measured, but also the course inside a pipe section or a sheet. The measurement is carried out at the push of a button and the last 100 measured values including the measuring angle on the pipe as well as the time stamp are stored. These highlights of radar technology as well as the further developments in plastics measurement with radar sen- sors provide customers with decisive competitive advantages. Furthermore, tried and tested products are also pre- sented at the latest technological level. iXRAY: Measurement of wall thick- ness distribution, inner and outer di- ameter, ovality and eccentricity for single and multi-layer pipes and hoses. Thanks to a precise spatial resolution and repeatabilities in the µm range, the system reliably achieves exact mea - surement data. At high line speeds, the X-ray system - optionally two or three axes - delivers precise measurement results. The standard systems are available for tube dimensions from 1 to 63 mm. The iXRAY series is user-friendly and the line operator only has to select the tube, hose or cable recipe to start the „Inspire Beyond Measurement“ iXRAY SAVEOMAT
