X-ray technology is a robust and highly precise measuring instrument. It is used in wall thickness and diameter measurement for single and multi-layer pipes and hoses as well as cables and rubber applications. Modern X-ray components combined with the latest semiconductor sensor technology allow precise spatial resolution and repeatability in the µm range. The technology is used for multilayer tubes such as aluminium composite tubes, pressure hoses with fabric inserts, rubber hoses, foamed products, medical hoses, and tubes as well as cables. The µm-accurate reproducibility of the products and quality assurance during extrusion are the main focus here.
Advantages:
Wall thickness and diameter measurement for single and multi-layer pipes and hoses
Process optimization and material savings
Low radiation power far below the permitted legal limits as well as other safety aspects
Standardized process data interface (OPC-UA)
