Portable quality control THE demand for measuring solutions for tubes and pipes is rising, according to Prodim, manufacturer of the Proliner ® portable measuring device and TubeCheck. Prodim developed TubeCheck

added. All information is available in the measurement report and can be saved as PDF or TXT/CSV format. A USB or LAN connection allows digital measurements to be transferred to a computer or CNC tube bender. The Proliner is easy to operate, and basic training is sufficient to understand how the Proliner works and which features it has. Prodim is continuously following developments in the industry and considers the response of various Proliner users to the challenges that these developments bring. This allows the company to keep improving its existing measuring solutions and to develop new solutions for the tube and pipe industry, as well as for several other industries.

for quality control on tubes. Using TubeCheck, tubes and pipes can be measured quickly and easily. Tubes (cylindrical and rectangular) can easily be measured to construct new ones. The TubeCheck software makes it possible to calculate the precise centrelines of tubes. To measure and check radii and angles of a particular tube, only a few sections of the tube have to be measured. The measurements have an accuracy of approximately 0.25mm, resulting in a perfect calculated digital tube model. LRA and XYZ data is instantly available. During and after the measurement, the user can check the angles and radii of the measured tube on the screen of the Proliner. A measured tube or part of
