Extrusion International USA 6-2019

41 Extrusion International 6/2019 reason, even difficult to detect ir- regularities and flaws in the material such as fissures, inclusions, flecks and other high-contrast defects from a size of only 0.1 mm are reliably cap- tured. Cable manufacturers employ spark tests as final quality control of the cable insulation. Here AllRoun- Dia DV has set a new benchmark: it detects porosity or spots of insuf- ficient material thickness at a much earlier stage in production – making 90% of the spark tests superfluous. 1+1 at an extremely small footprint AllRounDia DV’s extremely compact design enables it to be ready to run in the production line with virtually no effort at all. The system comes with a straightforward and intuitive HMI. It can be operated either directly via its display or remotely via a tablet. This highly compact “allrounder” handles round products with diameters of up to 40 mm. It is available as a stand- trated quite simply by the following example: Let’s take a defect of 1 mm size on a product of 10 mm size. In- specting the product at only six spots would leave 90% of the surface un- inspected. AllRounDia DV, on the other hand, guarantees that each and every point is inspected with the same high reliability and repeatabil- ity,” explains Philipps. ”This is gapless inspection in the true sense of the word,” he adds.“ Surface inspection: fissures, necking, flecks, .... etc. AllRounDia DV continuously checks not only the contour for any devia- tions from the target, but the entire surface area. The PIXARGUS system employs “true” LED lighting, not la- ser light as conventional systems do. The specially developed lighting con- cept ensures that the field of vision and the measuring field are perfectly homogeneously lit. Precisely for this alone unit or mounted on a stand base. With all common interface ports and ready for Industry 4.0 As a Windows-based system, All- RounDia DV comes with all common interface ports and is easily inte- grated into corporate network struc- tures. But AllRounDia DV has even more to offer: The two-in-one system can be networked with additional sensors and measuring systems and integrated – horizontally and verti- cally – via an OPC UA interface, for example, into innovative Industry 4.0 applications.
