Measurement systems for plastic industry

 

Plastic production processes require the most accurate and quick inspections and measurements, which must be easily integrated into the production line.
NIROX’s optical instruments for plastic allow to measure various parameters constantly and directly in line, without altering the process, in order to guarantee that specifications are respected in the entire production batch. Instruments can be placed in QA/QC laboratory, as well.

TMline: TUBES AND TUBULARS – INLINE MEASUREMENTS

Plastic tube extrusion demands high steadiness, quality and traceability level. Non-uniformity of dimensions is a flaw that can compromise the product quality. Our TM.line measuring systems measure constantly and with micrometric precision:

  • wall thickness
  • concentricity
  • outer diameter
  • ovality
  • inner diameter

with the possibility of automatic regulation of the extruder.

PMline: PROFILES – INLINE MEASUREMENTS

NIROX’s PMline external profile measurement systems are applicable to any opaque material, both hot and cold, and allow to measure continuously in production lines and with micrometric precision:

  • diameters
  • widths
  • heights
  • dimensions/concavities/parallelisms

Data are constantly displayed on a supervisor panel that also shows the product outer profile and deviations from the required parameters.

FMsystems: FILM, FOILS, SHEETS – INLINE AND OFFLINE MEASUREMENTS

Our FMsystems can measure the thickness profile of plastic materials, even of stratified ones. Measurement can be performed both in the laboratory and directly at the end of the production process. Through the simple and intuitive software interface, also designed by NIROX, it is possible to monitor the entire production, with activities of reporting, and to manage waste. Systems are based on our m-Thick or multi-Thick sensors.
