Uses
Profile360-600 automatically measures pipe Diameter and Out of Round for
pipe from 5” up to 24” OD at two locations - in-line before cutting, and in final
inspection.
The system in final inspection produces an automated dimensional inspection
report – an audit trail of the “as produced” quality for each pipe showing the
maximum, minimum, and average OD and OOR for both pipe ends and body.
The in-line system can be used to fine-tune roll-tooling set-ups during a
diameter change. During production this system alarms whenever any
parameter approaches the allowable limit so that an operator can intervene
before a quality fault occurs.
Technical Highlights
Profile360-600 automatically measures Diameter and Out of Round for pipe from 5”
up to 24” OD in-line before cutting, and in final inspection.
Profile360 utilizes non-contacting CrossCheck Line-Laser Sensor Technology with no
moving parts to deliver the highest system reliability.
The system is sealed and temperature controlled for tough environments.
A single measurement cycle instantaneously acquires about 5,000 data points in-plane
for a 24” pipe and can report up to 180 diameter values, one per degree.
For final inspection the software displays maximum, minimum, and average OD and
OOR for each pipe end and the body. Length measurement is optional. We can
interface to your weigh system to display and record the weight.
Profile360 has sealed laser apertures and sealed sensor
windows so that no dirt gets inside. Air circulation fans
assure uniform temperature inside.
The air blow-off
manifold delivers
air pulses to keep
the glass surfaces
clean.
Registration Fixture
The Registration Fixture is used to perform automatic sensor alignment
checking using patented software algorithms. It clips on to the frame very
easily. The checking routine is run automatically from the software. The
whole process takes only a minute or two.
Master Gauges
Master Gauges are
used to verify the
diameter accuracy.
Temperature Control
A Closed-Loop
Temperature Control
System keeps the internal
temperature constant in
all environments.
This reduces thermal drift
in the measurement and
assures the longest
possible laser diode life.
Wiring Details
Interconnection
wiring is simple,
with cables for
power and data. A
digital read-out
displays the internal
temperature.
Line-Laser Sensor Measurement Principle
The CCD
Detector
Digitizes Profile
for Output to
PC controller.
The Laser
Diode
projects a
line across
the profile
which is
reflected
onto the
detector.
Profile360 utilizes CrossCheck™ Line-Laser Sensors, developed and optimized by
Starrett-Bytewise to achieve the range and accuracy required for ERW pipe mills.
Sensors are mounted on a precision space-frame and aligned via patented software
techniques. Data sets from each sensor are internally stitched together into a global
coordinate system using another patented algorithm.
Measurement System Configuration
Unlike oscillating measurement systems,
Profile360 has no moving parts – no
slides, motors, controllers, or encoders
that require maintenance and calibration
and will eventually fail. Profile360 is
inherently reliable due to its simple
design. The system is sealed and
temperature controlled to assure a
constant internal temperature. This
results in a greatly reduced thermal drift
for the system and assures a long laser
diode life, even in tough environments.
