Overview

The LIMAB TubeProfiler is a mill gauge for measuring the shape and diameter of hot or cold rolled tubes or pipes. The TubeProfiler measures the profile directly using up to 24 lasers that simultaneously capture the true cross section, outer diameter, shape and ovality. The system not only provides very accurate measurement but is almost free from regular maintenance. Reliable and accurate measurements provide rolling mill operators with instant feedback of the tube shape and dimensions. Reducing mill set-up times and providing better yield from new or existing mills. The TubeProfiler is proven and used by many of the best know quality steel producers.

Operating Principle

The TubeProfiler uses the principle of rotating optical triangulation principle; up to 24 laser sensors are mounted on a circular base plate with the lasers directed to the centre The measurement wheel rotates at constant speed. Each laser precisely measures the distance to the tube or pipe. The TubeProfiler has a patented algorithm ensuring that the movement of the object in the measuring field does not affect the measuring accuracy.

Applications

• Hot tubes diameter & ovality measurement on a Pilger mill
• Diameter and shape of welded tubes
• Cold round tube diameter & ovality inspection
• Measurement of hot or cold round or square bars in a rolling mill environment
• Measurement of blooms and billets
