Paired with the provided software solutions, Copra ProfileScan Desktop can be applied in various ways by tube makers. Designers can measure cross sections of roll-formed round tubes after each station and therefore both evaluate the manufacturing quality and locate deviations at different production sites. data M Sheet Metal Solutions GmbH – Germany datam@datam.de www.datam.de

addresses both of these problems, using only one sensor module and a turntable. In addition to high accuracy, Copra ProfilScan Desktop offers flexibility and mobility due to the compact build. It is quickly assembled and can be deployed in other production locations using the provided transport case. With its high range of views and full integration into the Copra workflow, ProfileScan Desktop is also suitable as a measuring tool for reverse engineering projects.
