The Better Solution for Profile Measurement Systems. Profile360 is an in-line, real-time, non-contact measurement system for continuously monitoring key profile dimensions in complex shapes such as rubber, ceramic, plastic, and wood-plastic composite extrusions, roll-formed metal profiles, and profiled wire. Profile360 employs CrossCheck Line Laser Sensors to digitize the profile, compare it to a CAD template, and continuously monitor key dimensions. Dimension changes often indicate a change in material, equipment, or process, resulting in poor quality or high scrap or reclaim cost....

Auto Seals When auto sealing extrusion lines go out of specification, they produce about $1,400 per hour in scrap. The scrap is not recyclable because the rubber is vulcanized, and often is cured over metal reinforcement. The result is a loss in raw materials, labor, energy, landfill cost, and production time. Profile360 alarms any time dimensions change so that the operator can act to correct the process, save scrap, and improve production. The Profile360 investment payback period is achieved in 32 hours of scrap savings. If you can avoid 1 hour’s worth of scrap per week, your Profile360...

PVC profiles can distort during calibration and cooling, resulting in non-usable profiles. In-line checking with Profile360 assures that the operator will be alerted any time there is a change in size, shape, or squareness. This helps reduce the time and cost of rework and improves yield. Since Profile360 provides real-time measurement, there is no need to cut samples, de-burr the cut edges, and walk to a central off-line inspection station in order to check dimensions. Profile360 greatly reduces the cost of dimension checking, and provides a much faster result. • Monitor angles,...

Wood-Plastic Composite Wood-plastic composites have variations in raw material properties, humidity, and barrel temperature, and these variations can result in profiles that swell or sag, resulting in defective boards. Profile360 is employed to continuously monitor profiles coming out of the die to assure the process is under control and the size and shape is correct. Profile360 can measure boards to the lower end of the allowable tolerance range in order to reduce the raw material cost per board, resulting in payback within 100 days. Cost Savings Nominal Board Size Target Area Reduction...

Roll-formed profiles often go out of specification during a run because the incoming coils have lot-to-lot variations in width, thickness, crown, camber, and physical properties. Requiring the setup technician to adjust for the material changes. Pending manual inspection, to isolate the out-of-specification material, a long run can produce materials not to specification. Profile360 offers several advantages: • Quickly validate the roll stand setup. • Make progressively small roll adjustments and immediately see the result. • Decrease the set-up time by eliminating off-line checking process....

Ceramics Ceramic extrusions, especially high-precision extrusions used for automotive catalytic converter substrates, can distort at each stage of manufacturing extrusion, degassing, and firing. Profile360 is used at each stage to verify that the process is under control. The error vector display highlights all non-conformities to the CAD template, and measures the total deviation. Profile360 takes multiple diameter measurements with no moving parts.

Profile360 is also used to monitor shaped wire profiles such as magnet wire for size and shape uniformity. Multi-conductor cables, sub-sea cables, and fiber optic cables rely on the cover extrusion to isolate the conductors from the environment to assure safe and reliable power and data transmission. Profile360 is employed on the line for 100% inspection of the cover geometry. Wire & Cable
