The COPRA®
ProfileCheck: In-line measurement of roll formed profiles |
|
| Optical scanning of profiles by using the laser split-beam method | |
|
A system for quality control should neither interfere with the production flow nor should it increase costs considerably. Whether a cold roll formed profile lies within the necessary tolerances can only be verified by measuring it after it has passed the last forming pass. Until now it has been necessary to use a trial-and-error method by cutting off a profile segment and check it on a profile projector. Because of the spring-back effect known from cross sections and due to incorrect cut of the results achieved by this method haven´t been reliable at all. Another disadvantage of this way of quality control is that production errors are recognized too late in the work-flow. This results in otherwise avoidable scrap material.
In order to get quick and reliable measuring results it is preferable to use a device designed for continuous quality control directly inside the roll forming mill. The COPRA® ProfileCheck uses the laser split-beam method. This method enables the user to check any kind of profile inside the running machine.
