| Dimensional routine testing: thickness, diameter, dimension, roundness and wall thickness |
|
The Series DIMENSIONCONTROL was developed for a variety of dimensional inspection tasks. It offers systems for the measurement and checking of features such as thickness, diameter, dimensions, roundness, wall thickness and the surface quality of parts directly in the production line. The precision of the system is based not only on sensor systems to match the application, but also on special mechatronics and smart algorithms for signal processing.
Characteristics
Dynamic measurement with high accuracy and resolution
Measurement sensor system independent of material
Sorting according to quality classes

| Non-contact inspection of extruder bores |
|
The housing-bore measurement device, idiamCONTROL, acquires the wear in the rear holes of extruder machines by measuring the internal diameter. An important criterion for the quality or the wear of tubes in industrial applications is the dimensional conformance of the internal diameter over the complete length. The measurement system, idiamCONTROL, carries out the measurement process inside the tube with very high accuracy, detecting possible points of wear extremely quickly. The integrated capacitive displacement sensors measure the actual bore diameter over the complete length of the process section. Through the additional acquisition of the axial sensor position with a cable-length measurement system, local deviations in diameter are found quickly and reliably. With the cable-length measurement system, each sensor position on the longitudinal axis of the hole is assigned a diameter. The result gives the diameter longitudinal profile in six tracks and an axial spatial resolution of 5 mm. The wear is calculated from the respective diameter values by the evaluation software. This enables accurate planning of the maintenance and replacement intervals of the individual housing parts without having to disassemble the processing section.
Characteristics
Non-contact and wear-free measurement technique
Suitable for all metals without additional calibration
On-site evaluation
Exact, non-destructive inspection
Industrial, rugged mechanical construction

| Application of a housing-bore measurement device |
|
 |
The measuring head is first introduced into one of the two rear bores and pushed using guide rods until it stops at the extruder gearbox. The diameter values and the distance passed are acquired and recorded during the return process. The signal is represented as the diameter over the complete length of the hole. Measurements beyond the tolerance limits are immediately displayed on the evaluation unit. |

| Vacuum monitoring system for cans, jars and bottles |
|
vacCONTROL monitors the integrity of the vacuum in can, jars and bottles and analyses the results statistically. Operation is completely automatic and without contact. Faulty cans can be detected and sorted immediately. The system is suitable for a diverse range of caps and a wide range of diameters. Environmental influences such as humidity and temperature variations have no influence on the proper operation of the vacCONROL equipment. vacCONTROL operates wear- and maintenance-free. The electronics is based on a non-contact displacement measuring system with a sequential analysis of the signals using a micro-computer. The electronics is a modular system housed in a waterproof cabinet. The sensor is mounted above the conveyor behind the filling and sealing machine. The electronics can be installed up to 3 m from the sensor.
Characteristics
Clear, large display, simple operation
Easy integration to machine controls
Graphic display of the shape of the cap
Programme selection of pre-adjusted products / cans
Interface for sorter, displacement sensor, light barrier, transport speed

| Application of a vacuum monitoring system |
|
 |
In a non-contact process the vacCONTROL 810 system measures the cap deflection caused by the vacuum. A sensor scans the cap shape while the individual glasses pass the measuring point. The micro-computer unit stores the values and uses them to calculate the cap deflection as a function of the internal pressure. vacCONTROL 810 compares the values with a preset deflection value and decides about the tightness of the glass. If the cap deflection is not large enough, an eject pulse of adjustable length is generated. This pulse controls a sorter which separates the glasses into good (sealed) and bad (leaky). |
