INLINE SURFACE INSPECTION 

FOR CABLES

Inline Surface Inspection 

on Cables 

Reliable 360° Flaw Detection on All Cable Types 

ProfilControl 5-CABLE is a turn-keyready 

system for the true 360° inline 

surface inspection of cables. 

Advanced inspection algorithms in combination 

with fast line-scan cameras and special LEDlights 

enable that even the smallest surface defects 

can be automatically detected and 

marked. 

In addition to its outstanding performance the 

main emphasis was put upon the user-friendly 

operator interface (touchscreen operated) and 

a robust design. Switching between products 

can be done within seconds, since all product 

specific parameters are stored in recipe files. 

The ProfilControl 5-CABLE system, with its small 

footprint, can be intergrated in any cable line. 

Touchscreen/Computer unit and main 

sensor ring can also be separated, for installation 

in places with space constraints. Special guides for stabilizing 

the tube can be mounted on the left and right side of the system 

sensor head. 

Accurate & Easy to Use 

The ProfilControl 5-CABLE can be operated 

completely via touchscreen. The user interface 

was designed with the goal that any 

operator can use the system intuitively 

without extensive training. The operator defines 

for every type of cable a product specific 

recipe and adjusts the quality 

parameters for a tube manually once. The 

desired inspection borders for each camera 

are set just by clicking on the desired surface areas on the touchscreen. 

The system automatically adjusts the light sensitivity 

for achieving the optimal inspection performance. All parameters 

are automatically stored in the recipe file and are used whenever 

this specific product is in production. 

ProfilControl 5 ››CABLE ‹‹

Analysis & Control 

of Product Quality 

For Process Analyis and Documentation 

Position and Picture of All Defects 

The included defect viewer software allows to go 

through all production log-files and view all 

historical surface defects. The defects are shown on 

the correct position on top of the corresponding 

profile type (drawn in the background). 

Single surface defects can be searched by typing in 

the date and time information, so a permanent link 

between the marked defects on the profile (which 

has the time information stamped on it) and the 

defect data base is established and can be used for 

enabling the traceability of defects. 

The included statistics module keeps the process engineers informed 

about the process output and statistics. Basic 

evaluations, like frequency of certain defects and sizes 

are standard features in the software. All defect data is 

also available in a Excel readable format or in realtime, 

e.g. via an OPC interface, for further processing and 

evaluation. Reports for the documentation of profile 

quality can be prepared and exported. 

Defect Density Management 

Not every surface defect has to lead to scrap. In some 

cases it is acceptable to tolerate a certain number of 

minor defects on a tube segment. With the DDM-module 

you can easily define rule sets about the number and 

sizes of defects you want to accept on a certain segment 

length.

100 % Surface Inspection in Real Time 

Reliable Detection, Easy Handling 

Surface defects are displayed on the screen in 

realtime and automatically stored in a production 

log-file with a picture and all important information, 

i.e. position, size, type etc. 

PSP 6 allows the continuous surface inspection of 

PVC window profiles in the extrusion line. 

Surface defects, like 

· Bubbles 

· Scratches 

· Grooves 

· Inclusions 

· Pores and Holes 

are detected and classified by the system in 

realtime. Signals to external production control 

systems or downstream marking devices 

and sorters can be used for achieving complete 

line automation. PSP 6 features ACP – 

automatic camera positioning – which means 

that the system moves automatically the cameras 

to their ideal inspection positions around the profile by means of 

actuators. 

This unique camera concept makes it easy to switch between profile 

types without delay of manual set-up procedures. And the operator 

can be sure that the surface inspection is performed under the same 

optical conditions time after time. 

PSP 6 

The operation of the system is completely controlled 

via touchscreen. All functions are accessible with a 

few big buttons, which keeps the user interface very 

simple and easy to use.

INLINE INSPECTION OF 

TEXTURED WEBS AND SHEETS

Inline Detection of Defects 

in Textured Surfaces 

WebControl-TEX for inspection of sheets and webs 

The WebControl-TEX System (WCT) 

is a high-speed inspection system for 

textures, i.e. on Sandpaper, Woven 

Glass Fibres, Fleece, Leather an 

Fabrics 

By integrating WCT in the production line, 

typical topographical texture defects, as 

· grain defects or agglomerations in sandpaper 

· weaving flaws in glass fibre sheets 

· dense spots in fleece 

· flaws in leather structure 

· inhomogenious fabric structures 

can be detected and marked inline on the web. 

Advanced Software Modules 

for Textures 

Dynamical Adaption to the Surface 

Unlike conventional texture inspection 

systems WCT does not require a teach-in 

of a surface structure model. 

Conventional static methods use predefined grey - 

scale intensities with a description of texture features 

and tolerance bands. Such approach can 

require a lot of adjustments during operation in 

order to avoid either the detection of pseudo defects 

or the passing-through of real defects. WCT works 

dynamically and adapts itself to the surface texture 

and brightness. Thus, texture variations on a small 

scale are being ignored while significant variations 

are further processed as candidates for a defect. 

In most cases two parameters are sufficient to set-up 

WCT for the inspection of a new type of textured 

sheet. One parameter that describes the relative 

amplitude of the topographical structures and a 

second parameter that describes the minimum 

defect size. 

››WebControl TEX ‹‹ 

Classification and 

Defect Density 

Not every flaw is scrap 

Surface defects usually lead to 

scrap based on defect size, defect 

type or number of defects in a 

specific area. 

WCT allows the user to set-up such 

rules comfortably with a Classifi cationand 

Defect-Density-Management tool in 

order to tolerate a certain number of 

defects within a specific area size. 

Also long flaws in stream direction, i.e. 

scratches, grooves or threads, can be 

detected and classified. Such defects 

can hint to defective rollers or residues 

in tools.

Comfortable User Interface 

All functions can be operated 

via Touch-Screen

Automation should make work easier without a barrier between the user and 

the machine. 

This is why WCT features a modern user interface that permits to operate all functions by your 

finger-tip. The monitor displays a rolling quality map where all defects are visualized by symbols. 

A zoom-in into the defects works by tipping on the defects in the quality map. All defects are stored 

in a production log file that can be exported to Excel ® or to an SQL format for further evaluation and 

documentation. For batch documentation a report can be created automatically. 

System Architecture 

Modularity of WebControl -TEX 

The WCT system architecture 

depends on the specific application. 

On opaque material a one or two side inspection 

is possible with cameras and illumination 

devices on both sides of the web. 

For illumination the standard lamps feature 

LED-modules, with an outstanding lifetime. 

Flourescent lamps are also available if required. 

Camera and optics can be selected from a 

wide performance spectrum. Unlike other 

inspections systems WCT can work with 

every type of linescan camera from any 

manu facturer. That means the expertise of 

the worlds best camera producers guarantee 

for the reliability of the WCT system. This also 

secures the investment over many years, 

since the system can always be upgraded 

with the latest camera technologies to meet 

all imaginable future inspection requirements. 

All devices are IP64 encapsulated in special 

protective housings.

INLINE MEASUREMENT OF 

PVC WINDOW PROFILES 

NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR INLINE 

DIAMETER MEASUREMENT 

AND LUMP DETECTION

New Technology for Diameter Measurement 

and Lump Detection 

Designed for plastic, silicone, rubber and metal tubing, hoses, wires 

and cables. 

The demand for top quality production at low manufacturing costs is higher than ever before. 

Intelligent tools for inline quality monitoring and real-time control of the production lines are 

essential to keep up with the requirements. 

In order to ensure the highest dimension and surface quality possible there is a need for a smart 

device that measures the product with high accuracy and detects the smallest lumps and neck 

downs at the same time. And to meet all future requirements for quality control such device must 

be able to work seamlessly together with a vision system for 100% detection of non-topograhical 

flaws as well. 

All this is now possible with Allroundia. 

The smart Allroundia 

Measurement with integrated Intelligence 

Allroundia is an inline multi-axes measurement system that performs 

high accurate diameter measurements on tubing, hoses, wire and cable. 

At the same time Allroundia detects all lumps and neckdowns in the product in real time. 

The high scanning frequency ensures that even the smallest lumps can be detected. 

And Allroundia has small overall dimensions and is very robust, which allows the use 

in harsh conditions. 

The outstanding feature of Allroundia is the integrated on-board intelligence with 

PC-performance. The small sensor housing of Allroundia contains a fully equipped 

industrial PC. This means that Allroundia is not limited to measurement and detection 

functions, but that it can also run the most advanced industrial quality control software 

and has the capability to perform various tasks simultaneously. By installing the suitable 

software packages, the device can measure and detect and also process the data, 

classify flaws, apply rules for flaw density, control a marking device, a blow-off station 

or any other machinery on the production line.

Easy to use 

State of the art user interface 

Today many machine operators are used to smart cell phones that can be navigated by clicking, 

touching or swiping a finger on a touchscreen. 

Our believe is that the use of a measurement device should be as comfortable as the use of a cell phone. This is why 

we developed the unique Allroundia software. Interact with your finger to navigate trend graphs, view modes or 

parameter set-ups on the robust industrial Allroundia touchscreen (ATS). This is a key benefit: Easy to use means 

short training time for all members of your production team. 

Improving production output 

Use of quality data 

Your return on investment value lies in the real-time use of data. 

Allroundia does not only signal to the operator when dimensions deviate beyond 

the warning thresholds or scrap tolerances. The device can also be used to 

control upstream or downstream equipment. Speed encoder information can be 

used by Allroundia to calculate the locations of flawed sections. Allroundia offers 

all hardware and software features to trigger inline marking devices, cutters 

and blow-off systems. 

Small Size 

Easy integration in any production line 

Allroundia has everything on board that is need for turn-key measurement, flaw detection, 

classification, recipe administration and data processing for reports. 

There is no external controller needed as with other systems. Yet, Allroundia is small and can be integrated in any 

production line. In cold zones as well as in hot zones.

Return-On-Investment with Allroundia 

:: Highest accuracy and reliability in measurement and lump detection. 

:: Industrial embedded PC technology integrated in measurement head. 

Allroundia integrates easily with your production data acquisition 

and control infrastructure.

INLINE PROFILE MEASUREMENT 

FOR ALL EXTRUSION PRODUCTS

Inline non-contact measurement 

of any profile geometry 

Complete 360° comparison with CAD reference 

››Profile Measurement PCD-X360 ‹‹ 

PCD-X360 is an inline 

profile measurement 

system that utilizes a 

sheet-of-light techno - 

logy and special CCDcameras 

to scan the 

complete outside shape 

of any extruded profile. 

PCD-X360 takes a 360° all 

around profile scan, matches 

and aligns it to a reference 

profile, then displays both on a screen along with all key 

measurements. PCD-X360 is used on extrusion lines as a 

continuous quality monitoring tool to assure that key dimensions 

remain within the specified tolerances. 

Continuous Quality Control 

During production the operator can 

use the graph view to see the current 

and past product state. Dimensions 

that run towards the scrap tolerances 

trigger a warning light. This enables 

immediate response to process variations 

caused by changing material 

properties, machine parameters, or die problems. Thus 

PCD-X360 has an immediate pay-back by reducing customer 

returns and startup, run-time, post-processing and 

assembly scrap. 

Reporting Tools 

Complete Documentation of Quality 

A profile report shows the measured values 

for the key profile dimensions. 

It can additionally show the profile cross sections at 

certain time points after start-up or before shutdown. 

Reports can be automatically created after 

ending a production shift. It is also possible to create 

reports for every batch or product bin. A 100% 

quality check and documentation becomes possible. 

8 Cameras are 

the New Standard 

For a full 360° View 

Pixargus sets the new standard 

with 8 cameras for inline profile 

measurement. 

Today on an increasing number of pro - 

files it becomes important to acquire 

measurements of complex shaped features, 

e.g. groove-depth, – width and 

corner positions. Rarely the sur face 

segments of those features are all 

clearly visible with 4 cameras in 90° 

positions. Too often important surface 

elements remain hidden, especially if 

the profile has lateral movement in the 

process. Pixargus profile measurement 

systems are equipped with 8 cameras, 

positioned around the profile every 45°. 

This gives an unparalleled coverage of 

your complex shaped profile. 

Basic System: 

Pixargus systems are also available with 

4 cameras. Thus offering a cost-effective 

entry into inline profile measure ment . 

The system can grow with your requirements. 

The 4 camera system is ready 

to be upgraded any time with additional 

four cameras, resulting in a standard 

8 camera system. This means your 

investment is safe, even when your QC 

requirements grow.

Easy Operation & Unparalleled Robustness 

››› 

The PCD-X360 was designed for real-world requirements. 

Very important is that it can be operated by anybody, even after only a few minutes of training. The 

robust touchscreen and the special designed graphical user interface allow a very intuitive use of 

all system functions. As easy to handle as a manual profile projector. 

Ready for Harsh Environments. 

PCD-X360 comes with ruggedized housings. Even strong mechanical impacts, like a measurement 

head dropping to the floor, will not require recalibration or adjustments. A key element of this concept 

is the use of the LED-X2 technology. It creates a laser-like scan of the profile, but with the advantages 

of LEDs: Longer life-time and minimal spare part costs. A disalignment of the sheet-of-light is nearly 

impossible with LEDs, compared to lasers and even a replacement of LED segments with spare parts, 

or with LEDs of different color, can be done by any production technician without specialists from 

Pixargus. Again: No recalibration required. 

››››››››› 

Multi-Extrusion Capability 

More than one profile at a time 

The PCD-X 360 is the 

ideal measurement 

system for extrusion 

lines that run more 

than one profile at a 

time. The operator simply 

creates a multi-product file 

and chooses the number of 

profiles that are to be measured. 

Up to four profiles can 

be measured at the same 

time. Even six or eight profiles 

can be handled, if they 

can be positioned in a way 

that they don´t obstruct each other in the camera view. By 

using a special selection dialog it is easy to assign existing 

product files to the measure ment job. Click on Start and PCD- 

X360 will measure all profiles simultaneously. 

Even for single profile extrusion this function can 

be beneficial: Assigning the same profile multiple times 

allows to run different measurements and/or different tolerances 

on the same single running profile. While one profile 

view shows the official measurements that are used for the 

printed profile report, the other view is used to monitor additional 

production relevant features of the profile.

PROFILE SURFACE INSPECTION 

& PROFILE MEASUREMENT 

IN ONE SYSTEM

The Benefits 

Return on Investment from DualHead 

ProfilControl ››DUALHEAD‹‹ 

ProfilControl DualHead 

Surface Inspection & Measurement 

in one System 

Delivering defined product quality and minimizing scrap 

are important factors in today´s profile extrusion business. 

Continuously checked quality and documentation is 

required. The solution is ProfilControl-DualHead. 

ProfilControl-DualHead is a unique combination of a profile 

surface inspection system and a dimension measurement 

system. The design of ProfilControl-DualHead followed the 

numerous requests from profile manufacturers for a system 

that can do both: scanning the surface for defects and 

measuring the profile shape for correct dimensions. The 

technologies for the two single tasks were already there: 

ProfilControl-Surface and PCD-X360. Both systems have 

been tested over years in the roughest production 

environments for performance and reliability. 

ProfilControl-DualHead helps profile manufacturers save money by 

· Detecting surface defects and shape deviations early in the process 

· Efficiently assessing profile quality according to specific criteria for scrap, e.g. Defect Density Management 

· Intelligently cutting and sorting out parts with surface defects or shape deviations 

· Warning operators when the production process is getting out of specifications, so countermeasures can be taken early 

Integration 

Flexibility in the Production Line 

The position of ProfilControl-DualHead is usually at the end of production line, right in front a last puller before the profile goes into the 

cutter or the coiling station. At that position all relevant features of the profile can be checked by the system for compliance with the 

specifications. But also any other position in the line is possible. In case of extreme shortage of available space the sensor heads can 

be separated from the system and positioned independently in the line. If operators need to be informed about the profile quality status 

remotely, it is possible to link external monitors, e.g. at the beginning and end of the line, or connecting the system by LAN or WLAN to 

other external devices.

The advantages of the combination 

ProfilControl-DualHead with both technologies combined in one system offers important advantages: 

· The necessary space in the production line is approximately half of what would be needed for the two single systems 

· The investment costs are lower than for two single systems 

· It is a one-point quality assurance machine in the production line. The set-up handling and monitoring is therefore 

easier to be integrated in the daily routines of a line operator than with two systems

2:1 ProfilControl ››SURFACE ‹‹ 


for any type of profile 

Real time 100% quality check 

High Performance & 

Easy to use 

ProfilControl is a 

turn-key-ready 

system for the 

inline inspection of 

extrusion profiles. 

The system was designed 

to deliver 100% inspection 

of the surfaces of even the 

most complex profiles. At 

the same time ProfilControl 

delivers excellent 

performance on flexible 

and light absorbing 

materials. Advanced 

inspection algorithms in 

combination with fast linescan 

cameras and 

special LED-lights ensure that even the smallest 

surface defects can be automatically detected and 

classified. Parts with surface flaws can be 

automatically marked or cut out. 

Whether on rubber 

surfaces, TPE, plastic 

or metal. With smooth, 

woven, textured or 

flocked surfaces. 

ProfilControl needs only two parameters to find 

the defects: the natural surface roughness and 

the minimum defect size. Up to 4 cameras with 

a maximum of 6 different inspection areas each 

can be set-up comfortably by touchscreen. 

Complete 

Quality Reports 

For process analysis 

and documentation 

A quality docum entation 

of the production can be 

automatically provided 

from the defect 

recordings in the 

specific 

production log file. 

All defects with size, position, 

time and pict ure, syncronized 

with the product time-stamp 

are the basis for a prof ound 

analysis of the production 

process. The data can be 

imported in Microsoft Excel ® 

for further processing.

Saving waste by early cutting 

Connection with the cutter for 

optimized output quality 

Connecting ProfilControl to the cutting device at the end of the line can save up to 50% of the normal waste 

material – just by early cutting behind the defect and immediately starting a new profile unit. The optional defect 

density management module (DDM) allows to fine-adjust the quality by defining thresholds for the number of 

defects with certain defect sizes on a certain length. 

Multi-Area Inspection 

For flexible adjustment 

to profile specifications 

Each ProfilControl-Surface 

inspection camera view 

can be divided into multiple 

separate inspection areas. 

And each section can be subject 

to inspection with different 

parameters. Thus all profile 

features (e.g. bulb sections, lips, 

channels etc.) can be inspected 

for different defect sizes. It also 

gives the flexibility to compensate 

perspective errors resulting from 

a view onto certain areas under 

a low angle. 

Detectable Surface Defects 

Topographical Defects 

All types of topographical 

defects can be detected by 

ProfilControl. 

High gradient defects, like foreign 

or unmelted particles, holes and 

cracks, as well as low gradient 

defects, like soft air bubbles or 

waves, belong to the standard 

group of the defect classes. 

Missing Flock & 

Uneven Profile Edges 


Fine tuning product quality 

Typical applications in automotive 

sealings comprise the detection of 

missing flock areas, uneven flock 

edges as well as wavy profile edges 

caused by process instabilities. 

For each inspection area 

one or multiple scrap 

criteria can be defined. 

The DDM module allows setting 

up rules of how many defects of 

certain sizes are tolerable within 

a certain length of the profile. 

This is often a key for QA and 

can be a valuable tool for 

optimising production output. 

Inspection of 

Special Features 

Repeating features of a 

product, for example 

bore holes, can be 

inspected for com ple t eness, 

distance, form and size.

continuous quality monitoring tool to assure that key 

dimensions remain within the specified tolerances. 

Continuous Quality Control 

During production the 

operator can use the graph 

view to see the current and 

past product state. 

Dimensions that run towards 

the scrap tolerances trigger 

a warning light. This enables 

immediate response to 

process variations caused by changing material 

properties, machine parameters, or die problems. 

Thus PCD-X360 has an immediate pay-back by 

reducing customer returns and startup, run-time, 

post-processing and assembly scrap.

Particle Scan on Compound Test Strips 

with Microscope Resolutions 

Inspection of surface particles requires resolutions 

beyond the capabilities of human eyes 

Continuous particle analyses 

Advanced measurement of mixing quality 

Compound Test ››PCR 20/40 ‹‹ 

The ProfilControl PCR is a high-resolution 

camera system that measures captures and 

measures surface roughness particles on flat 

material strips. 

Rubber mixing plants use PCR for quality documentation 

of processed batches. A typical application is the 

scanning of rubber compound strips, produced by a 

laboratory-extruder and conveyed on a belt through 

the PCR system. The digital camera in PCR takes pictures 

of the strip surface similar to microscopic 

photographs. A resolution of 20 Ìm is required for for 

detecting even the smallest roughness particles and 

providing the reliable evaluation of the compound 

mixing quality. 

The roughness particle sizes are taken 

as a basis for the determination of the 

mixing quality. 

The system automatically evaluates the statistical 

distribution of all particle diameters and shows the 

results in an online graph on the operator screen. 

Warning signals for decreasing material quality can 

be defined by setting thresholds for each frequency 

of particle size. E.g. if the material contains too 

many particles of a certain size, an alarm can be 

triggered. The statistics graph on the screen shows 

the particle distribution of the current scan. Also average-, minimumand 

maximum results of a series of previous measurements of the same 

material can be visualized.

Advanced algorithms ensure the automatic and continuous evaluation 

of all micro-particles from the scanned picture data at a rate of 

more than 100.000 particles per minute. 

This allows the accurate determination of key-values which quantitatively describe the 

particles on the material surface. The result is a reliable characterization of the material 

quality. A continuous detection, measurement and counting of every single particle 

on a test strip is possible for the first time. 

Quality Documentation 

Batch specific quality assurance 

Comfortable data handling allows 

the storage and organization of the 

data on the system hard-disk or on 

any network quality server. 

The upload of product and order specific 

para meters ensures an easy system setup by 

the machine operators in case of changing 

materials. The results of each completed measurement 

cycle are linked to their order-identification 

number and a batch ID. 

Thus a precise comparison between measurements 

can be conducted, which is the basis for 

an analysis of quality trends between old and 

new batches. Data exportation to Microsoft 

Excel ® for further statistical processing can 

be easily performed. For inline batch documentation 

a report can be printed automatically. A 

picture as a visual impression of the surface is 

added to the report to allow a post evaluation 

by human eyes.
