nondestructive phased Array solution
The new in-line ERW tube inspection system using
advanced phased array technology to inspect weld seams
and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of electrical resistance
welded (ERW) tubes.
Phased array technology provides broad sector coverage
of the HAZ with constant amplitude even when there is
significant weld seam movement relative to the probes.
• Flaw detection, weld profiling, and automatic weld tracking
using phased array technology.
• Diameter range from 60 mm (2.375 in.) to 245 mm (9.625 in.).
• Wall thickness range from 2 mm (0.079 in.) to 16 mm
(0.630 in.).
• Automatic calibration sequence using a calibration bench.
• Automatic calibration check at production line speed.
• Data synchronization with the “flying saw” on the production
line.
• Automatic detection of scarfing window and butt weld
between coils.
• Full system diagnostics using HMI and QuickView.
