X-3Division Tube Surface Inspection
Imagine you could see virtual images of the billets, blooms or tubes directly after they leave the rotary hearth furnace or continu- ous casting resp. rolling mill. Every infringement of a limit value would be shown. You would know imme- diately where a tool is damaged or worn.
In tube production, surface defects are often perpetuated through the complete process chain. Non-stop surface inspection from block to nished tube is, therefore, critical for the quality of the nal product.
The key to a very high measure- ment accuracy is the geometric stability of all components con- cerned and the use of in-house developed high power lasers in combination with newest high speed 3D camera. Every effort was made while designing this system
Inductotherm Heating & Welding Ltd
to ensure that every laser camera system operates individually. Additionally, all systems together remain in constant alignment to each other within tight tolerances.
The suitable number of laser camera systems, needed for a complete and simultaneous measurement of the product, is arranged circularly. Four to eight sets are typically used, depending on the complex- ity of the product and the required performance. The minimum and maximum product dimensions are also taken into consideration.
The IMS X-3Division tube surface inspection system is ideal for hot and cold applications because it automatically detects and classi- es defects and their positions. The IMS system records with a res- olution of 0.15 mm in depth and transverse direction at full produc- tion speed up to 10m/s.

Hydro Precision Tubing Tonder selects – Banyard LFi Smart System
Banyard are pleased to announce the successful contract for supply to Hydro Precision Tubing Tonder (HPTT) plant in Denmark, with imminent dispatch of 2 x Banyard LFi Smart systems, which consists of 2 x Zero Friction, Multi-layer, Multi Zone coil Induction Heaters for 9” aluminium billets, to work with HTPP’s P25 press upgrade pro- gramme - The Heaters are each 750 kW and the system includes Cold Billet Positioning Systems, Over-
head Manipulator and full Control Interface to the press.
The HPTT project team has worked closely with the Banyard project team to fully assemble the equip- ment in UK, to facilitate a quick install in Denmark. In the forth- coming weeks representatives of HPTT will be visiting the Banyard manufacturing facility at Induc- totherm Heating & Welding in Basingstoke UK, to conduct the Supplier Acceptance Tests before
the system is carefully dismantled and loaded ready for shipping. The full installation and commission- ing will be completed in Denmark, during the summer of 2018.
Inductotherm – Banyard will cele- brate 50 years continued service to the Aluminium Industry in 2019, we look forward to meeting exist- ing and new customers at Alumin- ium Dusseldorf 2018 and present the latest generation of LFi Smart System for your extrusion process.
