Profile Projector - Camera Based - (2D V.I.S)

What Does the PPC2D Profile Projector Measure?

The PPC2D helps inspection teams measure features that can be clearly imaged and accessed within the system’s measuring range. Depending on component geometry, lighting and positioning, applications include:

• Measuring distances between visible edges or selected points.
• Checking the diameter and radius of circular features.
• Evaluating angles between lines and component edges.
• Inspecting profiles of moulded and machined parts.
• Comparing measured dimensions with specified tolerances.
• Recording inspection results for review and reporting.

For complex, transparent, reflective or very small features, a sample trial helps establish whether the required edge definition and measurement performance can be achieved.

Camera-Based Measurement: How It Works
A conventional optical profile projector displays a magnified silhouette on a projection screen. The PPC2D uses a camera to display the component image on a monitor, where measurement software supports feature selection and dimensional evaluation.

The operator places and secures the component on the stage, adjusts illumination and focuses the image. After selecting the appropriate calibrated magnification, the operator identifies the required points, lines, arcs or circles using the software.

Measurements can then be evaluated against the component drawing and included in an inspection report. Reliable results depend on correct calibration, stable positioning, suitable lighting and a consistent measurement procedure.

Technical Specifications

Resolution, accuracy and repeatability describe different aspects of measurement performance. Request the applicable accuracy specification, calibration conditions and supplied configuration with your quotation.

Key Features

Magnified Component Viewing
The camera and optical system provide an enlarged image for selecting inspection features. Magnification can be adjusted to suit the feature being examined, with calibration appropriate to the measurement setup.

Software Measurement Tools
Tools for points, lines, arcs, circles, distances and angles support routine dimensional checks. Software-assisted evaluation helps operators organise measurements within a consistent inspection workflow.

Non-Contact Optical Inspection
The inspected feature is measured optically, reducing the risk of deformation caused by contact measuring pressure. Suitable fixturing remains necessary to hold the component securely.

Manual Stage Control
Manual movement with a quick-release knob helps operators position the workpiece and move between inspection locations.

Measurement Reporting
Reporting options support the review and communication of inspection results. Confirm the required report layout, tolerance fields and export formats when selecting the software configuration.

Applications Across Industries
Plastic moulding: Inspect accessible profiles, widths, openings and other visible features of moulded components.

Packaging components: Evaluate suitable features on caps, closures and preforms, subject to sample size, preparation and viewing access.

Precision machining: Check selected dimensions and profiles of small turned or machined parts.

Electronics: Inspect visible dimensions and spacing on suitable connectors, terminals and small components.

Tool rooms: Evaluate accessible contours, angles and radii during component development and inspection.

Application suitability should be assessed against the actual drawing, required tolerances and representative samples.

How to Use the Profile Projector

1. Clean the component and measuring stage.
2. Position the sample securely without distorting it.
3. Select suitable illumination and magnification.
4. Confirm that the calibration applies to the selected setup.
5. Focus the component image and establish the measurement reference.
6. Select the required features using the software tools.
7. Compare results with the drawing tolerances.
8. Save or export the inspection report.

For repeat inspections, use a documented procedure covering sample orientation, lighting, magnification and feature selection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a profile projector used for?
A profile projector helps inspect component dimensions and profiles using a magnified image. Depending on the system and setup, it can support checks of distances, angles, radii and diameters.

Is the PPC2D a conventional optical projector?
The PPC2D is a camera-based system that displays the component image on a monitor and uses measurement software. Its configuration differs from a conventional projector with a circular projection screen.

Can it inspect plastic caps and moulded components?
It may be suitable for accessible, clearly visible features on these parts. Sample geometry, material appearance, fixturing and required tolerances should be evaluated through a trial.

Is resolution the same as measurement accuracy?
No. Resolution describes the smallest measurement increment the system displays or resolves. Accuracy concerns agreement with a reference value, while repeatability concerns consistency under repeated measurement conditions.

Can inspection results be exported?
The listed software features include reporting and CSV output. Confirm the available formats and required report fields for the configuration being supplied.

How should I select a profile projector?
Start with the component size, smallest feature, required tolerance and inspection volume. Then evaluate measuring travel, optical suitability, fixturing, software and calibration requirements.

What is the price of Pacorr Profile Projector?
The price may vary depending on model specifications and lens configuration Typically it ranges from INR 2 Lakh to INR 6 Lakh based on features and customization.
