Promex OBJECTIVE

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the PROMEX OBJECTIVE, an optical measurement technology designed to enhance transparency and quality assurance in the extrusion of aluminum profiles. It addresses the issue of web collapsing, a common distortion in aluminum profiles, and provides a solution for objective quality classification.

Specifications
The PROMEX OBJECTIVE system is available in several models, each designed for different profile sizes:

PROMEX OBJECTIVE T100: For flat profiles up to 100 mm in width, extendable to 200 mm when rotated manually.
PROMEX OBJECTIVE T200: For flat profiles up to 200 mm in width, extendable to 400 mm when rotated manually.
PROMEX OBJECTIVE T100 L: Similar to T100, also suitable for L-shaped profiles with specific dimensions.
PROMEX OBJECTIVE T200 L: Similar to T200, also suitable for L-shaped profiles with specific dimensions.

Testing time is between 1-2 seconds plus handling time.

Procedures
To measure web collapsing, the test piece is placed on the measuring sensor system. The PROMEX OBJECTIVE system records and evaluates distortions, providing a classification based on a multi-level scale. This ensures objective quality assessment and facilitates communication between suppliers and customers.

Benefits

Objective classification of extruded profiles.
Improved communication between suppliers and customers.
Reduction in return costs due to defective consignments.
Ensures finishing is applied only to 100% quality profiles.
Enhances customer satisfaction by delivering promised quality.

Integration and Compatibility
The PROMEX OBJECTIVE can function independently or be combined with the PROMEX EXPERT system. Both systems use the PROMEX CONTROL software, allowing seamless integration of classification results into existing measurement protocols.

Relevance and Impact
The system provides process safety by enabling early detection of faults, thus preventing defective goods from reaching customers. It offers outstanding amortization times due to increased productivity, with many customers achieving payback in less than a year.

Contact Information
ASCONA Gesellschaft für optische Messtechnik mbH, located in Meckenbeuren, Germany, is the manufacturer of PROMEX systems. They can be contacted via phone or through their website for further inquiries.

PROMEX OBJECTIVE The objective web collapsing measurement for more transparency in the extrusion of aluminium profiles

Open the catalog to page 1

In the lead through precision From a certain size on, evenly shaped visible surfaces of aluminium profiles need stabilizing webs. This is why web collapsing occurs during the production process. Due to the fact that aluminium profiles normally have a matt surface, this distortion is hardly obvious. In addition, reflecting contours show different degrees of distortion depending on light angles. Evaluation is therefore always subjective which certainly leads to different results. However, web collapsing is a common phenomenon with visible surfaces. Only when the finish has been applied - e.g. gloss varnish...

Intelligent eye with objectivity Precision that gets right to the heart of the matter Envisaging the future means to have in the focus today what you will need tomorrow. Quality assurance during production requires a reliable measurement technology which works precisely and exactly in time. This is the only way to detect web collapsing of aluminum profiles quickly and to initiate corrective actions even before defective goods are being shipped to the customer. Process safety that pays off Optimal solutions engage with each other. Only if this holds true can we speak of system solutions. In terms...
