Pipe thickness measuring machine AUREX ECCO

wallultrasonicin-line

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. The measurement starts and all information on wall thickness distribution for fast die head centering is available. And this already after production of only a few meters. The calibration and the distribution of the wall thickness on the circumference can be stored dimension-dependent and is available again at the next start of the same pipe dimension. 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)
