AUREX OBF - 100 % surface detection!
Optical pipe surface inspection.
AUREX OBF represents a basic optical 100 % surface inspection system for the production of plastic pipes. AUREX OBF is based on iOS (Intelligent Optical Sensor), features a PowerPC (CPU with 400 MHz) and an intelligent line scan camera which are mounted in a housing. Very small surface flaws can be detected:
- 0,2 mm2 for pipes of 8 to 32 mm Ø
- 0,6 mm2 for pipes of 25 to 63 mm Ø
Flaws are automatically recognized by the iOS and a flaw picture is transmitted to the master terminal.
The 100 % surface inspection is guaranteed for a line speed of max. 60 m/min for diameter Ø 32 mm and 36 m/min for diameter Ø 63 mm.
Detectable surface flaws:
- dots
- dents
- furrows
- scratches
- foreign bodies
- streaks in surface gloss
Perfect combination with AUREX ERS.
AUREX OBF combined with AUREX ERS perform the optical detection of smallest surface flaws and the ultrasonic detection of inclusions such as structural flaws in the pipe wall:
- Thick and thin points
- Eccentricity
- Ovalness
- Inclusions in the pipe wall, e.g. air bubbles caused by moist material or by gas inclusions
- Structural flaws in the pipe wall
System functions:
- Automatic exposure setting
- Automatic surface recognition
- Activation of alarm lamp, saw or other downstream equipment in case a flaw is detected
- Flaw documentation in a log-book including date, time and flaw picture
- Easy „teach-in“ of a standard pipe image
- „Surface Inspection Value“ (SIV) to classify the pipe quality
- „Colour Value“ (CV) to classify the brilliance degree and the pipe colour
