Higher oil price filling the order books
Due to the increased oil price the LIMAB TubeProfiler S are facing higher and higher demand, from all over the world, for in-line tube straightness measurement.
The Swedish based company LIMAB, established in 1979, manufacturing laser measurement systems for the metal industry has developed several innovative measurement solutions such as straightness, diameter, ovality, length, thickness and width measurement.
The TubeProfiler S, our very well proven system launched back in 2011, for straightness, length, diameter and ovality/shape measurement has become a highly appreciated process and quality control unit for tube suppliers not only to the oil and gas area, but also for the precision and hydraulic tubes.
The key measurement system includes scanning of end, local and total straightness of tubes and pipes. Due to a unique technology we are able to measure all the above mentioned features with a very compact measurement system.
The LIMAB straightness measurement system contributes to minimize the sometimes large problems with hooked ends, oval tubes, threading, manual measurements and bended tubes to mention some.
The in-line measurement system register and store all the data of 100% of the produced tubes, including end user certificates. This is a very important tool in case of claim.
Today, more and more end users require the tube manufacturer to have measurement systems installed to be able to secure that the tube production fulfil their demands.
The straightness results are displayed in real time with trend graphs including 2D and 3D graphs for easy viewing. The database provides an excellent source of production data for long term monitoring and process improvements. The system will output both the straightness of the total tube, tube ends or segments of the tube and the length, with alarm signals if any of the tolerance or warning limits are exceeded. All data will, of course, be displayed in combination with our other information, such as OD, ovality and shape.
The TubeProfiler S is very easy to install in the existing line and easy to relocate to other parts of the mill, using the built-in lifting hooks and the quick change electrical connectors.
