Laser measuring system
Marposs, a world leader in measurement, inspection and test technologies, has announced the availability of its
Aeroel Extruline laser measuring systems for diameter control and flaw detection of opaque or transparent extruded products such as glass pipes, medical tubing, sections, electric cables and other similar products.
This system features on-line diameter measurement and automatically prevents the production of out-of-tolerance products by detecting and locating diameter flaws all along the product’s length. Its non-contact technology enables the measurement of moving products – hot or soft – without damage, signaling an alarm for out-of-tolerance conditions. This helps reduce scrap and risk of rejects later in the process.

Laser system precisely measures clear and opaque extruded products
A laser-based measurement system performs online diameter control and flaw detection of opaque or transparent extruded products. The Aeroel Extruline system from Marposs prevents the production of out-of-tolerance products by detecting and locating diameter flaws along the product’s entire length. It is suited for use with glass pipes, medical tubing, sections, electric cables, and similar products.
The non-contact technology enables measurement of moving products hot or soft without damage. Out-of-tolerance conditions trigger an alarm, helping to reduce scrap and rejects later in the process.
The diameter and ovality of stock from 0.1 mm to 149 mm can be controlled either via a single- or dual-axis laser gauge, depending on the diameter range and type of product. Product vibration and movement do not affect the process. The gauge is installed just after the extruder head, eliminating any co
