Pipe magazine, pipe separation, plus weld seam detection and correct positioning
We'll supply a complete solution tailored to your needs!
In the mechanized forming and bending of pipes, the correcting positioning of the weld seam is crucial for achieving the right quality. In the selection of the physical principle, pipe diameter, wall thickness, material, the characteristic of the weld seam etc. all play a decisive role.Based on convincing test series, we select the system for you with the best detection reliability.
The sensors with corresponding evaluation unit and intelligent evaluation software we source from market-leading manufacturers and integrate their hardware and software technology into the overall system.
The most frequently applied physical principles are:
- Magnetic sensors with magnetic leakage flux and eddy current processes (Roland-Electronic)
- Intelligent camera and image processing systems
- Laser sensors
In view of the magazine, separation, weld seam detection principle and transfer to the processing or forming machine, almost every pipe machining process requires a customized solution.
In the case of pipes with delicately galvanized surfaces, we prefer a flat belt conveyor as a pipe magazine and conveyance system. Alternatively, magnetic conveyance systems and chain conveyors may be used.
We offer you a complete solution from a single source precisely tailored to your needs. It includes a machine construction, the integration of a suitable weld seam detection system and central control system including SPC and visualization (see image).
Our systems have proven themselves partly through their short cycle times and high process stability in many well-known companies in the auto industry.
