Measuring Technology Specialist Pixargus Acquired by CiTex Group

Supplier of systems for optical inline quality control in extrusion lines Pixargus has been acquired by CiTex Group, and as a wholly-owned subsidiary is moving on to expand and grow further in the U.S. and Asia. Now in its 7^th generation, Pixargus’ well-known ProfilControl series inline systems are in use in 24/7 manufacturing environments in a broad range of industries, including construction & engineering, health care products and consumer goods. CiTex is a group of strong, highly specialized partners cooperating in the field of extrusion technology. While Pixargus brings to bear its profound knowhow in optical profile inspection, CiTex subsidiary Inoex boasts access to a worldwide customer base and a powerful sales network in both the U.S. and Asia.

With its X-ray and radar technology, Inoex is a leading expert in measuring systems for round products, with a focus on tube wall inspection. This is said to be a perfect complement to Pixargus’ successful AllRounDia DualVision technology, a camera-based system that performs both outside surface inspection and dimension measurement of tubes and hoses with just one sensor head.
