iXRAY - X-ray measuring system

The WARP 8 is an inline pipe measuring system for wall thickness and diameter measurement at 8 points or 4 axes. It provides all important measurement data required for manual or automated process optimization and control. In addition to the short return-of-invest time, the system offers high measurement accuracy as well as process automation and documentation functions. The static sensors allow a high resolution of the measured values in the extrusion direction. Thus, process fluctuations are precisely recorded and visible, so that effects such as short-term fluctuations in output or backpressure effects during the sawing process can be detected and eliminated. Other advantages/features: — Diameter range from 60 to 1200 mm (five sizes) — Wall thickness range from 2 up to 250 mm (depending on material) — Short ROI period — Ideal for process optimization

The WARP portable is a mobile, radar-based hand-held gauge for selective wall thickness measurement, specially designed for medium and large pipe extrusion as well as for sheets. The application possibilities are very flexible, whether as a quick centering aid in the start-up process, for final production control or as a stock control device. Not only wall thicknesses at pipe ends can be measured, but also the progression inside a pipe section or a sheet. The measurement itself is performed at the push of a button. The last 500 measured values including the measuring angle on the pipe as well as the time stamp are stored. Over 400 WARP portable sold speak for themselves. Other advantages/features: — Hand-held measuring device for wall thicknesses from 2 to 110 mm (depending on material) — Measured value log including measuring position on the pipe (last 500 measured values) — Intuitive handling — Splash-proof housing (IP54)

ECCO is the efficient solution for fast pipe centering. Especially for thick-walled large pipes, with low line speeds and high mass throughput, the start-up process is difficult, time-consuming, and associated with high raw material costs. ECCO makes it possible to measure the wall thickness distribution shortly after the pipe calibration. The ultrasonic sensors, which are mounted directly behind the calibration sleeve in the vacuum tank, are pneumatically and flexibly moved up to the respective pipe geometry after line start-up and adapted to the pipe. Further advantages/features: — Significant reduction of start-up scrap — Fast pipe wall centering — Fast reaching of product specifications after product start-up — Fast detection of product variations — Uniform wall thickness distribution — Suitable for PE, PVC, and PP with an outside diameter from 200 mm (wall thickness range PE from 8 - 140 mm, wall thickness range PVC and PP from 8 - 40 mm)

The AUREX XXL is the solution for large pipes with a diameter of up to 3000 mm. The system works with 8 water-coupled ultrasonic sensors that can be pneumatically adjusted. This is possible without conversion in case of a change of dimensions. Minimum wall thickness tolerances are obtained via the downstream control loops of the weight per meter and thin point control and production is perfected. The better centering enables considerable material savings, especially for large pipes. Further advantages/features: — Production quality assurance by measuring and controlling wall thicknesses and diameter — Documentation of production — Material savings of up to 5% — Large measuring range — Proven measuring and control principles
