The WI-3000 is a precision laser-based 3D inspection system for detecting quality problems associated with forming and welding processes in large-diameter tube or pipe mills.
The manufacture of welded tubes and pipes requires the control of several key variables to ensure efficient, stable production and meet the industry's ever-increasing quality requirements. Plant dynamics, from installation to production, have an impact on the stability of these variables, and measurement/monitoring is the first step in controlling them and improving weld quality.
The proven technology of the Xiris laser vision system, with its high resolution and fast data capture and analysis rates, enables real-time detection of defects as small as 0.015 mm. Defects inspected include: offset, undercut, sunken welds, bead height, deflection, frost line and scarfing defects.
Several models of the WI-3000 are available, depending on the field-of-view (FOV) requirements, the type of rolling mill and the size of tube/pipe being run during the welding process.
The WI-3000 is a precision laser-based 3D inspection system for detecting quality problems in the rolling process.
The WI-3000 system is particularly well suited to a wide range of HF rolling mills manufacturing tubes/conduits with outer diameters over 12 mm and weld beads up to 28 mm wide. Other applications also include the manufacture of longitudinal or spiral tubes.
