Inline Profile Measurement of Precision Tubing

For the first time ever manufacturers of precision tubing can now produce to closest dimensional tolerances even if the material is soft and deforms during the production process. Inline profile systems equipped with the new Pixargus “ovality module” capture the complete profile even of tubing with irregularly shaped outside contours. Thus the ProfilControl dimension gauges ensure that the hoses will fit exactly into the connecting elements and that the connections are perfectly tight. For tubings to fit perfectly, not the diameter but the circumference is the key parameter. As soft material easily deforms during production – simply due to gravity or during reeling – it used to be a problem for many tubing manufactures to exactly measure the circumference of the products.
