Extrusions

In the extrusion market, profile geometries are very complex and are key elements of the final product form and function.  With material cost increasing, manufacturers are doing everything they can to ensure they limit the amount of rework and returns.

In the example below, an extrusion manufacturer selected Perceptron's Dimensional Gauging solution to monitor a variety of extrusions produced on one manufacturing line.

Extrusion inspection process:

  1. Structure-mounted sensors above the table take measurements on various predefined features
  2. An alarm triggers if a measurement is out of tolerance
  3. Operator investigates build conditions and makes adjustments to correct problem
