Tube measurement in bending technology

The dimensional accuracy of bent tubes is often influenced by different material properties. Deviations between the CAD planning data and the manufactured component occur and lead to tube geometries outside the required tolerance.

 

Manufacturing tolerances

In order to be able to comply with these manufacturing tolerances, we offer the networking of our CNC-controlled tube bending machines with various measuring systems.

Automatic correction

Measuring cells have been specially developed for the efficient quality control of bent tubes. They use high-resolution digital cameras to scan the tube geometries of the initial sample in just a few seconds. The actual values of the finished component are compared with the target values of the stored reference geometry and the bending parameters are automatically corrected.

 

For the production process, the new, optimized data is updated in the bending table and the production process can be carried out reliably and with consistent quality.

Monitoring and documentation

The recorded data can be automatically compiled into detailed measurement reports for efficient quality control. This allows manufacturers to monitor and document all changes across all process steps.

Speed and flexibility

In addition to stationary measuring cells, we also offer networking with mobile measuring systems. High-end laser scanners, infrared probes or electro-optical coordinate measuring systems offer maximum measuring accuracy, even for complex tube or wire geometries. The complete tube geometry is captured in just a few simple steps.

Accelerated measuring and testing process

The software then transfers the determined correction data directly to the bending machine via standard interfaces. This speeds up the measuring and testing process during tube production or when reverse engineering tubes and tube assemblies.
