Profile Sensors
Precision optical instruments to detect punctual imperfections in all kinds of wires and filaments.
Technology
Designed to satisfy today’s demanding quality control standards.
Our technology is based on light intensity shadow measurements and employs LED sources instead of lasers. Since it requires no moving parts, it is more reliable and benefits from a longer lifespan.
Compared to conventional fault detectors, our sensors allow the detection and characterization of smaller defects of wires and filaments running at higher speeds and with superior precision.
We take advantage of Swiss tradition in fine mechanics and microtechnology and the use of advanced miniaturized optoelectronics components available from modern optical telecommunications systems.

PSD
Profile Sensors PSD are mostly used in laboratory winding stations and production machines of fine wires and precision synthetic monofilaments.
The Profile Sensor PSD is used in:
PSM
Type: single-axis
Target: round
Profile Sensor PSM are mostly used in multiline production machines of synthetic monofilaments. They are specially miniaturized to fit installations with line-to-line separation distances down to 6 mm.
The Profile Sensor PSM is used in:
PXS
Type: single-axis
Range: 0.1 mm to 5 mm
Target: round, rectangular
Profile Sensor PXS are mostly used in production machines of flat magnet wires and extrusion machines of multifilament.
The Profile Sensor PXS is used in:
