AT Tube 2010 in Düsseldorf LAP presented
laser systems for inline measurement of the
diameter, straightness and contour of tubes.
LAP for the first time showcased its new
ProfileCheck system, a light-section based
profile measuring solution for cold and
hot applications. It is the ideal solution for
rolling mill operators looking for a way to
measure with utmost accuracy the entire
profile around the complete circumference
of the rolling stock.
Another novelty is the StraightCheck
system, an inline straightness gauge
that derives the straightness values from
measurements of the tube diameter.
LAP will also have on display the complete
array of systems for the measurement of
tube and wire diameters. The LAP systems
are designed for a wide range of different
measuring tasks and individual line-specific
factors. For example, the ANTARIS SCAN
laser scanners were on display as well
as camera systems with a backlight unit
and the laser scan micrometers of the new
METIS series, developed for a wide span of
diameters from just a few millimetres through
to more than one metre.
Fair visitors also had the opportunity
to see a presentation of the new tube end
gauge which checks the tube ends for API-
compliance. While being mounted on the
arm of a robot, a laser triangulation sensor
measures the inner and outer contours and
the wall thickness of tube ends during a
360-degree turn of the robot arm.

Portable outside
clamping pipe
facing machine
THE Protem OHSB-C 6-14 is designed to
carry out bevels or compound bevels by
copying. A carriage with hydraulic radial
movement, mounted on the tool holder plate,
enables the machine to perform bevelling
works while using a copying cam. The tool
holder is equipped with carbide plates.
The maximum wall thickness of tube is
60mm on a height of bevel lower than 30mm
and a maximum angle of 37°. The clamping
range is 6" to 14", and the maximum tool
holder plate speed is 170rpm.
