Precise

optical tube

measuring

AT the EuroBLECH exhibition in Hanover,

Tracto-Technik presented the Tuboscan

S, an optical tube measuring system for

precise measuring of geometric tube data

within a matter of seconds.

The measuring system operates under

photogrammetric procedure. The tube

under measurement is applied to a light-

transmissive surface and consecutively

illuminated by several LEDs that are installed

at defined positions of the measuring cell.

The shadow images following from this are

taken by a high-resolution CCD camera and

evaluated by TeZetCAD tube software. In

this way the complete 3D model of the tube

is generated in a short time.

Tuboscan S allows the measuring

of tubes and wires as well as bending

figures with formed ends. In addition to

tube bends with standard radii, the device

can measure and document freeform

bends. The measuring system is suited to

quality assurance applications as well as

for correction of tube bending data. It is

available with different measuring ranges,

and customer-specific requirements can

also be considered for the layout.

The Tracto-Technik product range covers

all-electric and electro-hydraulic CNC tube

bending machines, semi-automatic tube

benders, tube end working machines,

assembling devices for hydraulic tubing,

tube measuring systems and software

solutions for efficient piping.
