HOW IT WORKS · INTERACTIVE 3D

One measurement instrument.
Two support configurations.

See support, positioning and rotating measurement through a transparent pipe. Switch configurations to explore the different workflows.

Twin screws drive the scissor supports to raise the instrument. Once supported and positioned, the head performs a circular scan.

01

Inside diameter

Reconstruct the internal profile from measured points and determine inside diameter through circle fitting.

02

Outside diameter

Determine dimensions from the measured outer profile, rather than substituting nominal dimensions.

03

Local wall thickness

Review wall thickness around the section, including minimum, mean and maximum values.

MEASUREMENT

Stationary pipe.
Rotating measurement head.

Angle and distance data describe the cross-section. Two sensors observe the inner and outer surfaces to support pipe-end inspection, process checks and matching analysis.

WORKFLOW

From reference to results.
Operate from the tablet.

  1. 01

    Connect and calibrate

    Connect the tablet wirelessly and establish the measurement reference with a suitable calibration ring.

  2. 02

    Support and position

    Prepare the selected support configuration and position the head at the required section.

  3. 03

    Scan and review

    Start a circular scan from the tablet and review diameter and wall-thickness results.

WIRELESS CONTROL · BATTERY POWER

Keep the data.
Simplify operation.

Connect over Wi-Fi for calibration, scanning and result review. The tablet brings the section profile and key dimensions together in one place.

CONFIGURATION

Choose the support.
Configure the measurement.

Select sensors, supports and calibration for the required dimensions, section locations and operating conditions.

01 / AUTOMATIC SUPPORTS

For adjustable support requirements

Powered expansion and retraction reduce manual support adjustment. The modular configuration shares the measurement and control workflow.

02 / FIXED SUPPORTS

For repeated, stable-size applications

Fixed support geometry without a lift drive. Placement and axial repositioning are manual; the support remains unchanged during scanning.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do the two supports differ?+

Automatic supports expand and retract through a drive mechanism. Fixed supports retain their configured geometry for repeated measurements within a stable application. Both use a rotating measurement head.

Do fixed supports move automatically?+

No. Placement and withdrawal in the fixed-support animation represent manual handling. The support legs do not extend or retract.

Which sections can be measured?+

Sections 20 mm or 100 mm from the pipe end are shown. Each scan covers one section; the application defines the final configuration and positioning.

Is nominal wall thickness needed for measurement?+

Wall thickness is obtained from measured data, not nominal values. The selected sensor range, support configuration and calibration must suit the part.

How are range and accuracy specified?+

Sensor and support configurations are selected for dimensions, section location, surface condition and operating cycle, with corresponding calibration and acceptance requirements.
