The QuellTech laser sensor family Q4 or Q5 used for these tasks is generally mounted on an arm of a rotational axis, to scan along the complete 360° angle of the internal surface in a sequence of strips. The Q4 sensors can also be used to control the weld seam tracking itself for rapid setup and ease of use. Even during a project, the range and scope of the Q Series sensor demonstrates the advantages of a modular system to quickly adapt to project needs, where the smallest system has provided fast analysis of pipes as small as 105mm. The low power, with standard communication protocols, enable battery powered systems to transmit wireless data to other systems for review and cloud back up.

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)

ECCO is the efficient solution for fast pipe centering. Especially for thick-walled large pipes, with low line speeds and high mass throughput, the start-up process is difficult, time-consuming, and associated with high raw material costs. ECCO makes it possible to measure the wall thickness distribution shortly after the pipe calibration. The ultrasonic sensors, which are mounted directly behind the calibration sleeve in the vacuum tank, are pneumatically and flexibly moved up to the respective pipe geometry after line start-up and adapted to the pipe. Further advantages/features: — Significant reduction of start-up scrap — Fast pipe wall centering — Fast reaching of product specifications after product start-up — Fast detection of product variations — Uniform wall thickness distribution — Suitable for PE, PVC, and PP with an outside diameter from 200 mm (wall thickness range PE from 8 - 140 mm, wall thickness range PVC and PP from 8 - 40 mm)

The AUREX ERS uses the measuring technique of the Electronic Rotating Scanner (ERS) principle. With this active-passive measurement, every point of the measured object is detected 100% in longitudinal and circumferential direction, so that even minimal tolerance deviations are detected. Coextruded layers can also be detected as soon as they are physically detectable by ultrasound. The AUREX ERS is complemented by the optional "Quality Check", a wall thickness error check. The "Quality Check" detects anomalies on the surface, in the material and on the inner surface of the pipe. Further advantages/features: — 100 % wall thickness measurement for pipe dimensions up to 630 mm in diameter — Electronic rotation up to 16,000 rpm — Evaluation of vertical and angular signals reflected from the tube by activating adjacent sensors — Highest measuring resolution and identification of smallest production variations

The QUANTUM 360 has a terahertz sensor that reverses along the pipe to be measured. The coverage corresponds to a full 360° over the entire circumference of the pipe. This allows a very accurate overview of all process parameters. After selecting the pipe recipe, the QUANTUM 360 detects the pipe position, centers itself automatically to the pipe via a cross table and the sensor is automatically moved into focus. When changing dimensions, only a change of the pipe recipe is required. Due to the high measuring frequency, wall thickness, diameter and multi-layer measurements are possible with layer thicknesses from 100 μm. Other advantages/features: — Detailed product information (wall thickness, diameter, eccentricity, ovality) — Process automation through proven control principles — Non-contact measurement, no seals required — Material savings of up to 5% — Coextrusion measurement

The AUREX AFM measuring chambers are flanged directly to the outlet of the vacuum tank. With up to 24 sensors a reliable and precise ultrasonic measurement with a centric pipe guidance is guaranteed. The measuring chambers are available for a diameter range of 63 - 630 mm. The AUREX AFM performs wall thickness and diameter measurement in parallel according to the number of sensors. Optionally, the AUREX AFM can be equipped with the "Fast Specification Check MK/AFM", which enables a fast wall thickness check. Since the AUREX AFM does not completely cover the tube at the circumference, this wall thickness check can, for example, detect typical thin section rings, which are caused by jerks of the produced tube at the entire circumference. Further advantages/features: — Large measuring range with measuring range extension — Parallel measurement of wall thickness and diameter — Very robust mechanics — Separable adapter for easier seal change

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 AUREX MK is the complete solution for pipe dimensions from 0.5 - 400 mm. It enables compliance with the specified tolerances for wall thickness, eccentricity, diameter and ovality. Thanks to the combination of high-quality electronics with innovative measuring methods, up to 7 layers from 0.02 mm wall thickness can be evaluated. In addition to the standard measurement for control and visualization of the product, the "Fast Specification Check MK/AFM" is optionally available, which allows a fast wall thickness check. Since the AUREX MK does not completely cover the pipe at the circumference, this wall thickness check can be used, for example, to detect typical thin section rings caused by jerking of the produced pipe at the entire circumference.

The iXRAY solves almost all measuring, automation and documentation tasks for single and multi-layer pipes and hoses. Thanks to a precise spatial resolution and repeatabilities in the µm range, the system reliably generates exact measurement data. At high line speeds, the X-ray system - optionally two or three axes - delivers precise measurement results. The standard systems are available for pipe dimensions from 1 to 63 mm. The iXRAY series is user-friendly and the line operator only has to select the pipe, hose, or cable recipe to start the measurement. Other advantages/features: — Measurement of wall thickness distribution, inner and outer diameter, ovality and eccentricity — Up to 6 wall thickness values on the pipe or hose circumference — 3 diameter axes at 120° angle — High repeatability — High precision X-ray tubes with anode voltage up to 60 kV — Non-contact measurement, no seal, and no dimension-dependent accessories
