Pixargus: 100 % inline inspection for profiles

摘要

At K 2013, Pixargus will introduce the new Drillhole Inspection module for its ProfilControl Surface (PCS) systems, which now in addition to inspecting the surfaces of profiles can also check the presence and position of drillholes in door seals for vehicles. The module checks as early as during the production process whether all venting and drill holes have been made and whether they are all in the right position. The system triggers an alarm as soon as it detects that a drill hole is missing, that it does not have the correct diameter or shape, or that the spacing between the holes is not as it should be. Especially for automated assembling processes, this type of inspection is paramount as it ensures that the door seals can be installed quickly and reliably. In the past, checking the drillhole positions was a very complicated procedure prone to errors because the high production speeds make it impossible to take a manual measurement of each spacing. The new module makes it possible to check the entire profile in an inline process.
