ROMER Tube Inspection Factsheet Metrology to go.
ROMER Tube Inspection Solution The ROMER Tube Inspection System can inspect and measure round metallic and non-metallic wire, tubing, and piping used in almost any industry - automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, medical, machinery, appliance, power generation, and more. A true 3 in 1 solution The ROMER Tube Inspection Solution represents a unified system covering all 3 main tasks of tube inspection: Tube inspection and definition Geometry measurement Bender Interfaces with on-line bending program correction The only portable tube inspection solution In combination with the different mounting solutions offered, the ROMER system is the only portable tube inspection solution on the market. The ROMER Tube Inspection System can be taken to the work piece to measure pipes, lines, hoses and tubes in place, thereby saving time and effort. Reverse engineering tube geometry for replacement parts is fast and straightforward, even in-place on the assembly without removing the tube. All the tools you need tube spring-back and corrected bend data. The data, including both absolute and incremental length rotation and angle data, can be output in a variety of formats, or even send corrected bend data directly to a tube bending machine. ROMER s non-contact tube probes ensures that tubes are not deflected during the measurement process and are suitable for measuring from wires up to 130 mm (5.1 in.) tubes. Intelligent probes are changeable on-the-fly without tools or recalibration. Cost effective solution The ROMER Tube Inspection System makes expensive masters unnecessary and reduces down time for new tubes in production significantly. Tube measurement plus geometry measurement in one single software eliminates the need to run multiple applications if a tube has brackets, flanges, bosses or other geometric features to measure. The ROMER Tube Inspection System offers a choice of tools to inspect everything from hydraulic tubing to exhaust pipes. The seamless integration into the ROMER Tube Inspection software packages creates a complete tube inspection solution. Two software packages are available: ROMER DOCS or ROMER G-Tube. The ROMER Tube Inspection System comes as a package and will determine tube lengths, bend angles, The ROMER Tube Inspection System supports all needs in quality inspection or for reverse engineering tubes, featuring: CAD based tube inspection Hard probes and non-contact tube probes interchangeable during the measurement cycle Direct interfaces to all major manufactures of tube bending machines Direct interaction and providing correction data to tube bending machines
