TubeInspect: an Application for the Measurement of Curved Tubes and Wires

While I was surfing on the Net, I saw that one of our providers has got a very interesting product for some of our customers, called TubeInspect (pdf catalogue) that consists of a 3D optical system enabling to measure tubes of any diameter, shape and matter.

• It makes a dimensional check of the tube
• It corrects the CNC tube bending machine programmes
• It digitalises the tube patterns for reversed engineering

And all this with the following advantages:

• It does not need any positioning tools
• It does not need any fastening tools
• The check is carried out in 10 to 30 seconds
• The results are independent from the operator

Look at this spectacular video made by the machine maker, that explains in detail the wonders it can do. We have not tested it, but knowing the distributor reputation, it must be a very performant product. This system is distributed in Spain by Deltacad.
