The Profile Vu™ system is a high-speed laser line triangulation measurement and defect detection system that continuously monitors critical material properties in continuously extruded or formed rubber, plastic, wood, shaped metals, wire, and cable. The system’s 360-degree surface coverage means superior defect detection capabilities when compared to laser micrometers. Defects can be detected in-process and reviewed in 3D.

On every frame, a set of more than a thousand points, several thousand with high-resolution devices, are obtained from the cameras. Various algorithms are applied to regions of interest to calculate measurements such as diameter, radius, angle, distance, length, position, height and width.
