AICON is ISO 9001:2008 certified
Optical tube measurement system for all tube lengths
- programmable optical gauge
- for tube diameters of 3.2 - 200 mm
- setup and correction of bending programs
- reverse engineering and inspection of sample tubes
- automatic 100 percent inspection in a robot cell
“With TubeInspect, the number of decifient tubes has strikingly reduced. When a new production run starts, the second tube meets the requirements.“
Florian Windler, Serto AG, Aardorf (Switzerland)
Your advantages
- fast results after only 5-20 seconds (depends on tube length)
- replaces mechanical gauges
- non-contact tube measurement, works without clamping devices
- user-independent results
- documented measurement (protocol)
Functional principle
TubeInspect, a non-contact tube measurement system, merely requires that the tube to be measured is placed in an optical measuring cell. Sixteen high resolution digital cameras accurately measure the tube’s geometry in a few seconds. The tube does not need to be moved. The geometry is reported in an easily understandable way, that is as sheath tolerance.
Background information
Businesses that produce tubes and pipes often mention four areas of costs that have a serious effect on total costs: gauge costs, material costs, storage costs and setup costs of bending machines. In order to minimize these costs, it pays off to invest in modern technology for tube measurement. The article “cost optimization of tube manufacturing” published in the magazine INSPECT offers detailed information about this topic.
