PIXARGUS Launches ProfilControl 7 XLine – Smart Inline Inspection for Plastics and Rubber Extrusions
PIXARGUS is setting new benchmarks in extrusion quality control with the launch of its ProfilControl 7 XLine inspection series. Debuting at the K2025 trade fair in Düsseldorf, the company will showcase two new high-performance systems: ProfilControl 7 PlastX, tailored to the needs of plastic extrusion, and ProfilControl 7 RubberFleX, designed specifically for rubber extrusion. Both feature a new sensor head design and optimized software architecture that deliver maximum precision and reliability with minimal system complexity – and at a competitive price point.
Alongside the XLine series, PIXARGUS will also unveil an upgraded version of its established AllRounDia DualVision system for tube and pipe inspection, now featuring extended measurement capabilities and enhanced analysis functions.
ProfilControl 7 XLine – A New System Approach
With ProfilControl 7 XLine, PIXARGUS has adopted a fresh design philosophy: ‘not more software than necessary, and as little hardware as possible.’ The modular sensor head replaces traditional housings with an open plate design that allows flexible camera placement via a predefined hole pattern. Up to 700 high-performance LEDs ensure homogenous illumination, while advanced filtering eliminates external light interference. The result is early detection of surface flaws and dimensional deviations – preventing scrap and securing process stability.
“The XLine series is the essence of 25 years of ProfilControl expertise, fine-tuned for the specific requirements of plastics and rubber extrusion,” explains Michael Frohn, Sales Manager at PIXARGUS. “The systems are focused, modular, and efficient – offering exactly the performance needed without unnecessary complexity.”
ProfilControl 7 PlastX – For Plastic Extrusion
Targeted at industries such as window profile production, PlastX combines powerful defect detection with strong cost efficiency. Even the smallest surface flaws and dimensional variances are captured, supporting scrap reduction and cost control. A dedicated software module ensures secure detection of grooves, while the base system operates with just four cameras – expandable to six for measuring clamping dimensions in window frame applications.
ProfilControl 7 RubberFleX – For Rubber Extrusion
Designed for the stringent demands of the automotive sector, RubberFleX handles elastic and filigree rubber profiles with precision. The configurable sensor head accommodates up to eight specialized cameras, ensuring full coverage of visible profile areas. Dimensional accuracy and surface integrity are assured, even with complex geometries – all within a competitively priced package.
Both PlastX and RubberFleX can be configured as dimension measurement systems, surface inspection systems, or combined all-in-one solutions. Standard features include a 21.5” multi-touch monitor, mobile support frame, and encoder.
AllRounDia DualVision – Expanded Capabilities in Tube and Pipe Inspection
PIXARGUS has also enhanced its proven AllRounDia DualVision system, extending the measuring field to 70 mm and adding optional separate display and encoder modules. Retaining its compact, plug-and-play design and dual surface/dimensional inspection in a single unit, the system now integrates additional features such as:
- Coil Change Module for automated coil handling
- SCADA Log Module for secure operator and process traceability
With these upgrades, AllRounDia DV sets new standards in inline inspection for tubes, pipes, and hoses, whether in new production lines or retrofit applications.
