Starrett-Bytewise Measurement Systems

Starrett-Bytewise Measurement Systems manufactures laser measurement systems for industrial applications including tire manufacturing, rubber and plastic profile extrusion, metal pipe and profiles, wood plastic composites, wire and cable, and ceramic extrusion industries. Profile360 is an on-line, non-contact profile measurement system produced by Starrett-Bytewise. Profile360 employs multiple laser profile sensors to gather over 5,000 measurement points characterizing the outside profile shape of an extrusion at rates up to 14 complete profiles per second. There are no moving parts. Profiles are compared to CAD templates, and displayed for the operator as a real-time optical comparator, just like the 10x. Key parameters are measured using “virtual calipers” that emulate micrometer calipers. Measurements are compared to control limits and displayed as real-time results. All measurements are viewable as trend charts that show the measurements along with the control limits. Measurements are displayed with red, yellow, and green backgrounds to indicate whether they are out of specification, in the warning zone, or within specification. Operators are alerted by the red and yellow status indicators to adjust the process to keep dimensions properly centered, thereby assuring compliance with dimensional quality standards. Tire Industry products include in-line and off-line monitors for tread extrusion, gum calendering, tire building, component preparation, and cured tire testing. A Starrett-Bytewise products are aimed at improving quality and reducing the cost of scrap and non-conforming products. If you have a product or process that requires precise geometrical size and shape, please contact us for a consultation about available solutions. Starrett-Bytewise is headquartered in Columbus Georgia, USA, with offices in Trelleborg Sweden, Itu Brazil, and Shanghai China. We are supported by a network of sales representatives in many other countries.
