Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the Profi lControl 7, a new generation system by PIXARGUS for inline surface inspection and 360° dimension measurement. It sets new benchmarks in automated quality inspection of extruded products by combining complete surface inspection and dimension measurement in a single sensor unit.

Specifications
The Profi lControl 7 utilizes multi-zone scanning and virtual camera functions to enhance data precision and defect analysis. It integrates LED and laser technology for bespoke solutions across various industries, including automotive, medical, and metals. The system employs up to 8 high-capacity MultiCamera sensors, processing up to 800 million pixels per second.

Procedures
The system detects defects in real-time during production, indicating them on a graphic display and triggering signals for marking, sawing, or sorting devices. It uses a new lighting concept for enhanced measurement possibilities and is designed for quick setup and flexible inline use.

Norms and Standards
The system achieves a measuring tolerance better than +/-10 μm, with potential improvements for specific applications. It features a user-friendly interface with a multi-touch display and color-coded results for easy monitoring of production within tolerance limits.

System Variants
Various system variants are available, including Profi lControl 7 S, S XL, S Tube, S MedicTube, DX, DualVision, and others, catering to different inspection needs such as surface, dimension, profile, tubing, and cables.

Technological Innovations
The PC7 DualVision combines surface inspection and dimension measurement in one unit, offering cost savings and enhanced user-friendliness. It features a compact design, robust construction, and is Industry 4.0 ready for network integration.

Optional Modules
Modules like Defect Density Management, Drillhole check, and Flock module provide tailored solutions for specific inspection requirements. DataMaster 4.0 reduces data to essential quality information, facilitating analysis and documentation.

Applications

ProfilControl 7-2

Smaller. Smarter. Faster. Next system generation: ProfilControl 7 This new system generation developed by measuring technology experts PIXARGUS sets new benchmarks in automated quality inspection of extruded products. ProfilControl 7 is the first system to combine complete surface inspection and 360° dimension measurement within one single sensor unit. By applying multi-zone scanning, Pixargus is entering entirely new spheres of vision. Several measuring and testing tasks can be performed simultaneously thanks to virtual camera functions implemented by Pixargus. This takes data precision and defect...

ProfilControl 7-3

High-precision optics and sophisticated algorithms allow ProfilControl 7 DX to handle profile geometries of any kind and complexity and measure distances, angles, radii and combinations thereof through 360° of the product in real time. The system immediately indicates any most minute deviation from the reference contour - before out-of-spec limits are reached. This allows the operators to most effectively control and optimize the production process. Precision means leaving nothing to chance. A newly developed laser/shadowing technology forms the basis for maximum precision and excellent measuring...

ProfilControl 7-4

Enhanced user-friendliness provided by a 21.5“ multi-touch screen and a clearly structured cockpit Smarter. Two have become one: PC7 DualVision is the first system to combine 100 % surface inspection and 360° dimension measurement in one common sensor unit – with the additional advantage of real cost savings. The innovative illumination concept with an integrated light ring provides an extremely homogeneously illuminated measuring field. Maximum scalability and interaction within a network structure: Installing the computer safely in the server room and placing all the camera and sensor equipment...

ProfilControl 7-5

Industry 4.0 ready, as it can be networked with other sensors, measuring systems, PDA and ERP systems and a PLC environment. It interlinks the quality data measured by the sensors and combines them into an integrated data map. Thus the user can analyze the results within a coherent context and condense “big data” to what is really needed. Inline inspection with maximum flexibility and ergonomic design. The extremely compact design of the overall system and a sensor head that can be conveniently opened make it extremely easy to move the system flexibly into or out of the line during running production...

ProfilControl 7-6

Reliable measurements assure quality You can learn from flaws - provided you notice them before they cause harm. While the Pixargus MultiCamera technology detects any and every defect or flaw, the specialist application software helps to learn from them. One of the challenges in image processing today is to compile the results from different inspection systems and sensors in an easy-to-comprehend form on screens or as informative quality reports. As all Pixargus measuring systems in operation at different places of a manufacturing line are interlinked, the data measured by the various sensors...
