Extrusion profiling.


The company offers a lower-cost addition to its off-line extrusion Profilometer product family, the Profilometer SL. The system uses the company's sheet-of-light (SL) laser scanning sensors to digitize To convert an image or signal into digital code by scanning, tracing on a graphics tablet or using an analog to digital conversion device. 3D objects can be digitized by a device with a mechanical arm that is moved onto all the corners.  the top and bottom of an extrusion profile. Once digitized, the data are displayed in the same ProfileViewer software used by the company's off-line Profilometer, which is currently said to be used by 10 of the top 12 tire makers, and is in use in over 100 tire plants worldwide. The Profilometer SL is available in width sizes of 300 mm and 450 mm. The technology employs no moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. , so it is said to be extremely reliable in the production environment.
