Control measurement device XPLORELINE

diameterfor medical applicationscontinuous

Overview
The XPLORELINE family provides inline laser micrometer systems for 100% diameter monitoring of continuous products. Each system includes a sensor/gauge programmed with dedicated software, a display unit and a remote control to measure fast-moving products with high precision and to support process control.

Exclusive features

• Scanning motor using Fluid Dynamic Bearing technology (no ball bearings) for wear‑minimised operation.
• NO-VAR option enables automatic thermal expansion compensation using a user-programmable coefficient of thermal expansion.
• Integrated Web Server (Ethernet) for remote access, setup, programming and live video (light pulse) display.

Benefits

• Measures diameter and position of the product across the measuring field for profile and concentricity control.
• Monitors average diameter and detects short diameter flaws in real time.
• Records max and min diameter over programmable lengths to verify shaped products (e.g. corrugated tube).
• Included Blistbuster software detects repetitive flaws/blisters and provides meter counting for length tracking.
• Out-of-tolerance alarm outputs and readiness for network integration.

Versions

• Single-axis: XPLORELINE.X40 — Measuring field 40.5 mm; measurable diameters 0.15–40 mm; repeatability up to ±0.6 µm.
• XPLORELINE.X80 — Measuring field 80 mm; measurable diameters 0.75–78 mm; repeatability up to ±1 µm.
