TUBE INSPECTION & TESTING

Tube surface fault detection algorithms for Profilemaster SPS systems

environments of rolling mills for hot and cold steel rods, bars, profiles and tubes. Various models are available with 4 up to 8 laser/camera modules and different measuring field sizes to cover product dimensions from 5mm (.2") up to 720mm (28.3"). All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle and radius or other geometric characteristics are displayed in an operator-friendly graphical user interface. Changes in speed and twist within normal limits have no influence on the measurement precision. Main features include: provides 100 per cent inspection in real time; reduces start-up time; increases the repeatability and precision of your end product; improves process control; reduces scrap; saves raw material and post processing costs; detects process

DUE to the growing demand of surface inspection, Zumbach Electronic has launched two new main features on the Profilemaster ® SPS product family. The latest generation of high-speed cameras allow the acquisition of full product contours at a rate of 2,000Hz. This allows a stable and reliable measurement even on very high line speeds and challenging products like rebar. In addition, the new surface fault detection algorithm (software option SFD) also benefits from the faster cameras as smaller surface faults can be detected. It is also possible to inspect any kind of complex product such as rails and profiles. Since the launch of the Profilemaster SPS family, the monitoring systems have proven their reliability under harsh

problems at an early stage; integrates in a seamless way to your network or higher-level systems; simple cleaning requirements, giving short maintenance needs; logging of all production data for QC department; makes post production measurements irrelevant; surface fault detection thanks to high sampling rate; compilation of a 3D model thanks to high sampling rate; and reliable operation in harsh conditions, product temperatures up to 1,200°C.
