Weld Inspection

for Tubes / Pipes

Description

Mismatch

The WI2000p post weld inspection system has been exclusively created for
the tube and pipe industry to detect quality issues related to the welding
process.
A high speed video camera combined with fast data capture and analysis
rates provides detection of defects down to 0.015 mm in size on a typical
tube or pipe mill. Defects inspected include weld undercut, sunken welds,
bead height, deflection, freeze line and weld register (mismatch).

Undercut

Bead Height

The process of welding tube and pipe requires several variables to be in
check for efficient and stable production and to meet the quality demands of
the industry. Mill dynamics, from setup to production, have an impact on the
stability of these variables. Measuring and monitoring these variables is the
first step in controlling them and improving weld quality.

Benefits Of Laser-Based Inspection Systems
•t Simplify and reduce mill set up time
•t Minimize down time
•t Reduce operating costs
•t Improve weld quality

Deflection

•t Decrease material scrap
•t Measure shift efficiency, yield and raw material quality
•t Lessen:
•tCustomer Returns
•tField Failures
•tProduct Liability Claims

In the competitive tube market, quality, consistency and integrity need to be
inherent in the product that is delivered to the client’s door. Make sure your
products meet their requirements with the WI2000p!
