100% Inspection in Tube Manufacturing

Already for several years, Aicons TubeInspect has been securely established in the area of optical 3D tube measurement. Thanks to continuous further development, the measurement system is now ready for 100% inspection in high volume production. As the only available solution, TubeInspect allows for the inspection of different tubes from several bending machines. Furthermore, when applying a robot for placing a tube in the measuring cell, the inspection is conducted fully automatically. The system allows for high-precision measurement of tube geometries, determines set-up and correction data and transmits them to bending machines. The time required to inspect a tube is small: For short fuel pipes, the measuring results are available after three seconds; the inspection of a complex brake pipe can be conducted in less than 60 seconds.
