PRODUCT BROCHURE HEXAGON MANUFACTURING INTELLIGENCE TUBE INSPECTION SYSTEM TUBE MEASUREMENT AND PRODUCTION WITH THE ROMER ABSOLUTE ARM

TUBE MEASUREMENT HAS A NEW SHAPE Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence’s Tube Inspection System is a completely integrated hardware and software solution for the measurement of tubes, pipes, wires and hoses. Featuring the non-contact measurement capabilities of the ROMER Absolute Arm portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and the dedicated tube measurement software TubeShaper, the system offers total measurement versatility. Tubes can be checked throughout the entire manufacturing process in one simple package, from supplying correctional data to a CNC tube bender, to checking the position...

ALL-IN-ONE SOLUTION FOR TUBE INSPECTION Drawing on over 30 years’ experience in the tube-measurement sector, the Hexagon Tube Inspection System is the leading totally integrated solution for the measurement of tubes, pipes and bent wire. Available as a turnkey hardware and software package or as an upgrade to existing portable measuring arms, the Tube Inspection System is a certified portable measuring solution designed for engineers, quality managers and shop-floor operators alike. Software: TubeShaper • Real-time CNC bending machine connection allows measurement corrections to be implemented...

Using the industry-proven ROMER Absolute Arm portable CMM with purpose-built non-contact tube probes, workpieces of almost any material (including rubber and plastic) can be measured faster than ever. The application-specific TubeShaper software was designed in collaboration with some of the world’s leading tube manufacturers to bring the operator useful results quickly and with the absolute minimum of intervention. Maximising the flexibility of the ROMER Absolute Arm to support not only tube probes but also conventional touch probes, tube measurement has never been so complete. Hardware: ROMER...

A SINGLE SYSTEM FOR ALL APPLICATIONS The Tube Inspection System brings together the best of Hexagon’s hardware and software in a single integrated solution that meets all measurement needs associated with tube, pipe and wire bending. Portable, non-contact and totally versatile, it supports operations all around the workshop. Tube production Tube and pipe inspection The system has been developed to save time and improve accuracy on the shop floor in as many ways as possible, offering net gains throughout the tube production process: A true multipurpose solution, the system lends itself to almost...

Reverse engineering of tubes and tube assemblies For the production of tubes where no digital data exists, the system can create complete CAD models of tube assemblies in minutes, saving time and preserving design intent: • The flexibility and range of movement of the ROMER Absolute Arm means complete tube assemblies can be measured, even in situ • Reverse engineered assemblies can be saved and used as ‘golden parts’ for subsequent measurements later • Non-contact tube probes provide rapid tube measurement, while touch probes can capture detail on geometric features building an accurate and detailed...
