Profile measurement.


The Profile360 on-line 360[degrees] profile measurement system is said to provide full profile measurement for extrusion, drawing and roll forming Roll-forming or Rollforming is a continuous bending operation in which a long strip of metal (typically coiled steel) is passed through consecutive sets of rolls, or stands  processes in the rubber and plastics industries. The Profile360 continuously measures the outside profile of a moving product and displays a pass/fail status. A virtual caliper caliper

Instrument that consists of two adjustable legs or jaws for measuring the dimensions of material parts. Spring calipers have an adjusting screw and nut; firm-joint calipers use friction at the joint to hold the legs unmoving.
 utility permits the user to set individual measurements and pass/fail limits for critical dimensions. Caliper tools include thickness and/or width, radius, angle and error measurement. Data display options include the measured value, variation, trend graph or histogram histogram
 or bar graph

Graph using vertical or horizontal bars whose lengths indicate quantities. Along with the pie chart, the histogram is the most common format for representing statistical data.
, as well as statistical data such as Cp, Cpk, standard deviation In statistics, the average amount a number varies from the average number in a series of numbers.

(statistics) standard deviation - (SD) A measure of the range of values in a set of numbers.
 and mean. A report writer allows documentation of production run data, including statistics and trend graphs. The Profile360 accepts design files from any CAD system supporting the DXF DXF - Drawing Exchange Format  format. The measurement data are automatically rotated and fitted to the CAD design. The Profile360 provides analog outputs for process control. All measurement results are logged to a data file that can be accessed by Ethernet. PLC communications are also supported.
