WI-2000p Post Weld Inspection System
Inline, Real Time Measurement for Tube and Pipe Production
The Xiris WI-2000p measurement system is an industry first! Designed
for tube and pipe mills to measure these 5 critical variables:
- Deflection
- Width
- Mismatch
- Roll
- Undercut
WI-2000p Features:
- Easy to configure and tune settings on the fly for continuous production.
- An unlimited number of (data) presets can be saved for later recall
reducing required mill set up time.
- Process monitoring through real-time trend reporting minimizes mill
down time and scrap and simplifies mill setup.
- Powered by our LaserVision™ software suite to give you high speed
processing with close data intervals.
- Real-time trend reporting and alarm notification using accurate
measurements of process variables to notify the operator immediately
of both approaching tolerance breaches or weld faults.
- Data logging for process playback gives the ability to evaluate
shift efficiency, yield, and raw material quality.
- Direct integration with tube mill’s marking system allows a weld
fault to be marked instantaneous without having to halt the mill
Benefits
of the WI-2000p
- Reduce operations costs / Increase efficiency
- Improve setup time by seeing mill adjustment results instantaneously.
- Reduce liability risk - Measurement data can
improve quality of tube mill output to prevent shipped product from
becoming a liability.
- Reduce material rejects - Identify weld defects
as they happen before final output.
- Improve quality & yield - Real-time feedback
allows the operator to fine-tune the welding process quickly and
reduces the risk of producing large quantities of suspect material.
- Add competitive advantage - System is able
to detect discontinuities that other inspection equipment cannot
distinguish or quantify.
