Non-contact final measurement of extruded, cut tubes
The final measurement of all tubes after the cutting allows a shortening of the setup time of the cutting system and thus a reduction of the machine rejects. ELOVIS length-section light scanners measure in the accuracy range of 1/10 mm/m, sort the parts in good and bad lengths and document the testing and sorting process.
Typical application data:
- Measurement of pipes after cutting, before packaging
- Production speeds: typically up to 50 m / min
- Problem with contact measuring devices: only sample inspection possible, accuracy: +/- 1mm / m
- Measurement accuracy with non-contact length measurement SLM: typically 0.1mm / m
- Amortization: 2 months, integration of the measuring system into the existing conveyor system
Material examples:
- Pipe pieces: pipes, tubes, fuel pipes, air pipes, corrugated pipes, protective pipes
- Hoses, compressed air hoses, hose line, cable protection hose, insulation hose
- Tubes and tubes made of hard and soft plastic as well as co-extrusion and tri-extrusion
- Materials: PVC, ABS, PP, PC, PMMA, ASA and TPU
Machines equipped with non-contact piece length measurement:
- guillotine, cross cutter, cross divider, cutting machine
- saw line, flying saw, continuous saw, punch
- Packaging lines, sorting lines, QS stations
