Custom Plastic Products
Custom plastic profile extruders must meet the challenges of producing unique and complex shapes, meeting tight specifications, using many different compounds and conducting fast changeovers for many different products. Smaller batches mean increased pressure to get the profile within tolerance limits in a shorter period of time and thereby reduce scrap and increase throughput. Because Profile360 measures the extrusion online, the operator gets immediate feedback for process adjustments. The ability to make these quick adjustments results in much less time being required to bring the profile into specification limits and ensures that production orders are met more quickly. By combining the easy-to-use measurement tools with the ability to import CAD files, the Profile360 software enables engineers to quickly set up new designs (“recipes”, “test plans”, etc.) for faster changeovers and brand new products. The Profile360 reporting tools allow for the dimensions of every run of every product to be documented. These reports can be delivered to the customer and/or saved for post-production quality verification.
Profile360 can help custom plastic extruders increase throughput, reduce scrap and document dimensional quality while allowing for quick product changeovers. These benefits work together to make a better product and save production dollars.
