PVC and rubber gaskets are produced in high volumes and are critical components in doors, windows, automotive assemblies, and industrial sealing applications.
To ensure proper performance, every gasket must respect strict profile dimensions, wall thicknesses, and geometric tolerances.
Traditionally, manufacturers cut a cross-section of the gasket and measure it on a profile projector or an optical measuring machine.
However, achieving a reliable measurement requires a sample that is:
Cut extremely thin to avoid optical distortions
Perfectly perpendicular to the gasket’s longitudinal axis
Free of burrs, chips, or deformation
Consistent, even when the gasket is made of multiple materials (PVC + rubber, co-extruded plastics, etc.)
For composite materials, differences in hardness make precision cutting even more difficult. As a result, sample preparation becomes slow, unreliable, and heavily dependent on operator skill.
With CoreX high-speed industrial CT, all of these limitations disappear.
CoreX captures the entire gasket in 3D, without the need to cut thin slices or prepare perfect sections.
The system automatically:
Identifies the longitudinal axis
Extracts a perfectly perpendicular cross-section
Selects the section far away from the physical cutting area
This means the final measurement is independent of how the operator cut the ends of the sample.
Even if the edges are angled, rough, burred, or slightly deformed, the system isolates an untouched section of the gasket and evaluates the true geometry.
Whether the gasket is PVC, rubber, co-extruded, or made of multiple materials, CoreX provides a precise, repeatable measurement every time.
CoreX brings industrial CT directly into the workshop:
The operator just inserts a short piece of gasket, closes the lid, and presses start.
Everything else is automatic.
In a single results screen, the operator can:
This level of automation allows shop-floor personnel—not metrology specialists—to manage inspection with confidence.
Because CoreX delivers inspection results in seconds, manufacturers can perform frequent checks throughout the day.
This enables fast intervention and prevents defects from accumulating unnoticed.
Key benefits:
Frequent, fast, and easy measurement directly reduces production costs and increases daily output.
1. No sample preparation needed
No more precise cutting, no more thin slices, no dependence on operator skill.
2. Reliable measurements even on multi-material gaskets
Different hardnesses or elasticities no longer affect the accuracy of inspection.
3. Completely automatic section extraction
Always perpendicular, always in the correct location, always repeatable.
4. Shop-floor installation
Compact, robust, and operator-friendly—ideal for in-line or near-line quality control.
5. Fast process stabilization
Frequent checks allow immediate correction before defects spread.
6. Higher productivity and fewer rejects
More good parts per shift, fewer surprises at the end of the day.
High-Speed CT Brings Accuracy and Simplicity to Gasket Inspection
CoreX transforms how manufacturers measure PVC and rubber gaskets:
Just load the gasket, press a button, and receive accurate 3D measurements in seconds.
With CoreX, production stays predictable, efficient, and under control—ensuring each shift produces the expected output with minimal waste and maximum quality.
