Socket fusion installations for
polypropylene pipe and couplings
McElroy’s Spider 125 with universal
clamping performs socket fusion
installations for polypropylene pipe and
couplings from 63 to 125mm, quickly
and accurately. The lightweight and
compact device is suitable for use in
overhead, vertical and tight workspaces.
A worm gear drive and parallel link sys-
tem brings pipes and fittings together
evenly and under control, and the uni-
versal clamping system accommodates
any size of pipe or coupling, eliminating
the need for inserts.

Cross section scanning for tube makers
Most optical profile measuring systems
are in line-devices equipped with a
sensor ring with four to six cameras. This
can make quality control a costly and
inflexible obligation, as camera/laser
modules represent the most expensive
parts of an optical measurement
system. Additionally, sensor ring-based
devices lack flexibility regarding the
range of views.
The Copra® ProfileScan Desktop with
patented 360° measuring method
addresses both of these problems, using
only one sensor module and a turntable.
In addition to high accuracy, Copra
ProfilScan Desktop offers flexibility
and mobility due to the compact build.
It is quickly assembled and can be
deployed in other production locations
using the provided transport case.
With its high range of views and full
integration into the Copra workflow,
ProfileScan Desktop is also suitable as
a measuring tool for reverse engineering
projects.
Paired with the provided software
solutions, Copra ProfileScan Desktop
can be applied in various ways by tube
makers. Designers can measure cross
sections of roll-formed round tubes after
each station and therefore both evaluate
the manufacturing quality and locate
deviations at different production sites.
