Inline 3D shaper measurement and control system for diameter, ovality, straightness, length, and external defect detection in seamless and welded pipe production, profiles and hollow profiles of various geometries.
±0.05 mm diameter accuracy | 0.01% ovality | 0.1 mm/m straightness
Complete dimensional analysis for pipes, profiles and hollow profiles from 10mm to 2500mm diameter
Our control solutions start from the flat product in the case of welded profiles and tubes, or are limited to evaluating the characteristics of extruded and seamless products. We are able to directly evaluate, in-line, without contact and without interrupting production, the thickness, total width, and individual width of each slipped band, as well as the efficiency of the welding performed, up to the quantification of the shape, length, flatness, surface defects and non-compliance features, ovality, and straightness of the finished product. Three-dimensional measuring solutions (CMMs) verify linear dimensions, wall thicknesses, straightness, drift from ideal shape, ovality and geometric tolerances such as shape, flatness and concentricity. Industry standards which must be met for product quality and performance.Complete dimensional analysis for pipes, profiles and hollow profiles
