The ProfileVu is a micrometer fixture that oscillates up to 180 degrees to allow continuous inspection. This fixture is ideal for use in finding width and thickness of non-circular products, such as flat wire, and for locating thick and thin sections of extruded material and other die-formed products.

Users can mount one or two LaserLinc laser micrometers to the ProfileVu. Compatible models are the TLAser122, TLAser222, TLAser230, Triton312, and Triton330. Using three-axis micrometers (providing six-axes of inspection), the angle of rotation and the cycle-time required to identify the dimensions of interest are significantly reduced.

The fixture’s angle of rotation is adjustable from four up to 180 degrees, and it completes a rotation of 180 degrees in four seconds (speed and rotation are dependent on the material to be inspected). The angle of rotation is managed by an easy-to-configure PLC.

Combined with a Quadrature encoder, the ProfileVu system can correlate diameter (or other laser scanner measurement) with the angle of measurement, giving an accurate picture of the product.

Power requirements for the ProfileVu are 110 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz; the unit comes with a one year warranty. The Zero Latency encoder input is part of Total Vu software.
