ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring eccentricities of a rod of plastic material extruded from an extruder includes an optical sensor arrangement having a central axis, the arrangement including a pair of optical sensor devices circumferentially spaced at 90 degrees to one another about the central axis and a pair of light sources disposed on sides of the central axis opposite to the respective optical sensor devices for providing shadows of the rod on the optical sensor devices. A mounting fixture supports the sensor arrangement with its central axis aligned with the nozzle axis of the extruder so that the extruded rod will travel along the central axis of the sensor arrangement. An output device is connected to the sensor devices for measuring deviations of the shadows from predetermined positions indicating concentricity of the rod.
