The system is designed for non-contact scanning and measuring the internal pipes diameters and internal surface visual inspection.
The system operates as follows.
The system is placed inside the pipe, the distance between the measured sections is specified in the control program. The system sequentially moves to the required control positions. Rotating laser sensors measure the distance to the surface of the pipe. The polar coordinates of the surface (the distance from the axis of rotation measured by the sensors and the corresponding angle of rotation) are transmitted to the PC for calculating the required geometric parameters of the pipe. Images of the inner surface are accumulated on a memory card and then transferred to a computer.
