TubeShaper is designed to apply the measurement capabilities of the Romer Absolute Arm portable CMM to tube-related inspection applications, such as tube production, tube and pipe inspection, reverse engineering of tubes and tube assemblies, plus tube gauging.
Using TubeShaper, measurement plans can be created automatically in first-part inspection or set up offline, prior to measurement, making batch measurements faster while guaranteeing repeatability, says Hexagon.
An advanced CAD engine enables the import and export of tube data in various formats, as well as the inspection of full tube assemblies including welded brackets, hangers and flanges. The software can also interface with one or more CNC tube benders, enabling correctional data to be calculated and applied within the production cycle.
