WPC Lumber
Bytewise manufactures the Profile360 family of on-line measurement systems for continuously monitoring the profile geometry of extruded wood-plastic composite (“WPC”) profiles. Profile360 takes a profile scan, matches it to a design template, and displays the profile on an optical comparator screen along with key measurement parameters. Profile360 is used on extruder lines as a continuous quality checking tool to assure that key dimensions remain centered and within control limits. The real-time monitor provides an alarm to alert the operator to any off-spec condition so that machine corrections can be made.
Profile360 is well-suited to verify the dimensional accuracy of complex WPC profiles such as hand rails and tongue & groove fittings.
Profile360 is an attractive investment where extruders are challenged by dimensional precision, high material costs, and line speed optimization.
