The Profile Vu™ Oscillating Micrometer Fixture

180 Degrees of Product Inspection

The Profile Vu™ 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 Profile Vu. 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 Profile Vu system can correlate diameter (or other laser scanner measurement) with the angle of measurement, giving an accurate picture of the product.
