QuellTech Solution For this purpose, QuellTech offers a perfectly tailored seam tracking solution, which is based on a QuellTech 2D-Laserline Sensor of the Q4 family. The method consists in measurement of the real position and width immediately ahead of the welding process. The laser sensor captures the real dimension of the weld bead, and the software used for this process simultaneously sends the nominal position to the robot. The robot performs a correction movement in X or Z position according to this measurement. This way not only the deviation caused by tolerances, but also the warping effect can be compensated – and the weldment takes place exactly at the required position. The QuellTech 2D-Laserline Sensor is specially prepared to the highly disturbing ambient light from the weld process. It can be cooled and protected from weld spatter, so this model proves to be particularly adequate for operation in the harsh environment of the welding process.

Particular challenges To correct the effect of the tolerances of the parts, the welding robots path in conventional applications is usually adjusted, by means of a time consuming manual correction (teaching). The warping effect caused by the thermal expansion however cannot be compensated this way.

The WARP CP is an inline measuring system with radar-based wall thickness sensors for detecting the various structures of a corrugated pipe. Outer and inner diameters, as well as the wall thicknesses of the bell, crest, liner, and valley can be resolved. The system is available for large, corrugated pipes with diameters from 300 mm. Since the corrugated tube has different structures, it is therefore necessary to assign the measurement data to the corresponding position on or in the tube. The WARP-CP algorithms do this automatically and prepare the data for the user in such a way that he receives different graphics and corresponding measurement data for each structure. Other advantages/features: — Non-destructive, contactless, and automated inline measurement of all relevant structures of the corrugated tube — No waste due to destructive measurement — Repair of critical thick and thin spots — Saving of material overweight in the end product

WARP 100 is an inline pipe measuring system for wall thickness and diameter measurement at up to 38 measuring points and 19 axes. More than 1100 measurements per second guarantee a gapless measurement. This is particularly important for pipes with high quality requirements, such as pressure or gas pipes. The maximum line speed for 100% coverage is up to 11.8 m/min. WARP 100 is available in three sizes and can be used for measurement in the diameter range from 25 to 630 mm. Measured variables such as wall thickness, diameter, ovality, eccentricity as well as process conditions (e.g. sagging) are precisely recorded, documented, and further used for automatic process control. Other advantages/features: — Measurement with 100% pipe coverage in diameter range from 25 to 630 mm (three sizes) — Wall thickness range from 2 up to 125 mm (depending on material) — Detection of thin sections within the tube — 100% documentation of production according to specifications

The WARP 8 is an inline pipe measuring system for wall thickness and diameter measurement at 8 points or 4 axes. It provides all important measurement data required for manual or automated process optimization and control. In addition to the short return-of-invest time, the system offers high measurement accuracy as well as process automation and documentation functions. The static sensors allow a high resolution of the measured values in the extrusion direction. Thus, process fluctuations are precisely recorded and visible, so that effects such as short-term fluctuations in output or backpressure effects during the sawing process can be detected and eliminated. Other advantages/features: — Diameter range from 60 to 1200 mm (five sizes) — Wall thickness range from 2 up to 250 mm (depending on material) — Short ROI period — Ideal for process optimization

The WARP portable is a mobile, radar-based hand-held gauge for selective wall thickness measurement, specially designed for medium and large pipe extrusion as well as for sheets. The application possibilities are very flexible, whether as a quick centering aid in the start-up process, for final production control or as a stock control device. Not only wall thicknesses at pipe ends can be measured, but also the progression inside a pipe section or a sheet. The measurement itself is performed at the push of a button. The last 500 measured values including the measuring angle on the pipe as well as the time stamp are stored. Over 400 WARP portable sold speak for themselves. Other advantages/features: — Hand-held measuring device for wall thicknesses from 2 to 110 mm (depending on material) — Measured value log including measuring position on the pipe (last 500 measured values) — Intuitive handling — Splash-proof housing (IP54)
