AICON TubeInspect revolutionizes elbow detection with high accuracy, fast measurement, programmable update gauges and the ability to calibrate pipe benders and reverse initial prototypes for 100% fully automated inspection. The new The TubeInspect optical tube inspection system provides the all-round solution customers need.
Revolutionary breakthrough
The shortcomings of the traditional measurement methods of tube obvious, the measurement speed is slow, the measurement time usually takes several hours, and the data is not reliable enough, can not get the tube three-dimensional data, such as brake tubes like thin tube products, it is impossible to measure.

Customer background
Turning sketching into quality finished products is the business philosophy of Proton Engineering in Sweden, a one-stop supplier of pipe and sheet metal structures whose core business is the elbows, which have different shapes And size, diameter of 6 mm and 150 mm, the material includes steel, stainless steel, aluminum and brass. Company design, sample development, the first sample test, serial production, surface treatment, testing, logistics in one, The customer offers a complete solution that includes all the necessary processes: pipe bending, end processing, sheet metal work, highly automated soldering and complete assembly of components. Always providing the highest quality products to our customers is the company's main The purpose, which means that reliable quality control is crucial at all stages of the production process.
Customer benefits
The company's employees have been supported by 'made by AICON' since November 2015. The main tasks of TubeInspect P16 are initial sample inspection and process sample measurement. The inspected parts are then further processed in the assembly or welding department or Is sent directly to the customer, and TubeInspect provides valuable support in failure analysis if there is any discrepancy between the CAD tolerances.
The first beneficiaries of Sweden
Proton Engineering was one of the first customers to purchase the new TubeInspect P16 pipeline measurement system, the first time the company has built a measurement system next to the shop floor instead of in the measurement room. TubeInspect is vibration-insensitive, meaning it can be Directly integrated into the production process, the work process is no longer interrupted, which is just one of the advantages of TubeInspect.
The company quickly got positive results from the new product test, which saves time and money by using TubeInspect P16 to make measurements much faster than the previous method, and the new system is more accurate, And provide more comprehensive results.A few colleagues who were initially skeptical of new technologies are now enthusiastic users.
Thumbs up for TubeInspect P16
The TubeInspect P16, equipped with 16 high-resolution digital cameras using Gigabit Ethernet technology and an oversized measurement area, can measure pipelines with lengths of up to 2,500 mm at one time, as well as step-by-step measuring up to 7 meters long. Under normal circumstances, the measurement results can be obtained within ten seconds.
Customer Reviews
Roger Olofsson, Quality and Environmental Manager at Proton Engineering, says: "The system gives our customers the highest quality and our production can be made more efficient, which will be very beneficial to our customers.
Roger Olofsson has been with the company for 25 years and has extensive experience in measurement techniques, acceptance testing and preliminary sample inspection. He is impressed with the system's performance and its importance for quality assurance, Roger Olofsson said: 'This Investing makes our measurements faster and safer. The non-contact process makes measurements more accurate and the results are the same no matter who measures them. '
Measuring system engineer Richard Johansson has been using this system from the very beginning, "easy to use and fast to measure. Automatic calibration of bending machines is our main advantage. We produce fewer rejects and reduce downtime for our bending machines. We have taken our quality assurance process to a new level.
Initially, Proton Engineering was skeptical of whether TubeInspect P16 was the right measurement solution, but at the end of the test they thought the system was friendly and compelling. Today, Proton Engineering uses TubeInspect to measure most of its production bend Tube parts, even with adapters, can even measure complete components with attached accessories. Proton Engineering is pleased to announce that we have been able to measure ten tubes in 85 seconds!
