TUBING LINES

DIAMETER GAUGING DEVICEIt is designed for continuous monitoring and gauging the tube diameter, through this dedicated detecting instrument. This instrument is composed by a laser transmitter and receiver, the laser array pass through the glass tube and can fi nd the diameter of the tube. The signal coming from this instrument is used either for SETTING the blowing air and for SORTING the good and bad tubes. A dedicated Algorithm is able to defi ne the range of tube diameters acceptable and the number of scans to be done along each tube.

Accuracy of the measurements:external diameter: better than ±0.010 mm

OPTICAL DEVICE FOR PHYSICAL DEFECTS DETECTIONIt is designed for continuous gauging and monitoring the glass tube, through a dedicateddigital camera, to detect physical defects on the glass surface (i.e. stones, cords, air lines). The signal is sent to the sorting unit for the selection of the good/bad tubes. The dual axis optical inspection instrument is capable of monitoring moving material such as wire, tubes, fi bers, or any object where fl aw detection is of importance. It consists of a sensitive electronics unit and a fi ber optic detector head available in a dual axis confi guration.

Accuracy of detections:defect size: down to 0.025 mmdefect length: down to 0.5 mm

THICKNESS GAUGING DEVICEIt is designed for continuous monitoring and gauging the tube wall thickness, through a dedicated detecting instrument. The equipment is based on multiple heads optical thickness sensor; the measuring principle is optical interferometry providing the best accuracy.Multiple heads layout allows the measurements of wall thickness in 3 points equally spaced around the tube, and thus it exactly detects the centering of the tube. The supervisor software collects the measurements from all the heads and then calculates how much the wall of the tube is uniform or not and then how much OD and ID of the tube are centered. The signal is used for defi ne the trend of the tube thickness as well as to sent the sorting unit for the selection of the good/bad tubes. The Thickness gauging device is placed on a steel framework that can be moved down and out of the tubing line by a pneumatic cylinder.

Accuracy of the measurements: wall thickness: better than ±0.005 mm
