Important information for planning and operation
2.3.1 Send tubes before planning
Before conception of weld seam detection send the tubes to the Roland Electronic application
laboratory. The purpose is to review the general feasibility.
For each dimension, and each tube type, 3 to 10 examples should be provided, ideally from
different production batches.
Important:
Send
3 to 10 test tubes of each dimension and type to our laboratory.
Note:
Sample tubes should have a length greater 150 mm but not exceed 1500 mm. For
other lengths please contact the Roland laboratory.
Provide additional necessary information about:
•
welding processes, materials and post weld treatment
•
maximum cycle time or number of pieces per minute
•
positioning accuracy – Set value
•
reliability of detection – Set value
•
Roland Electronic provides a Questionnaire to enter all available data.
2.3.2 Send tubes during operation
Reason:
•
new tube dimension or tube type to be introduced
•
changing of the supplier
•
the tube specification is changed, concerning welding methods, materials and post weld
treatment
•
a type of tube shows strong batch dependence and the results are not satisfactory.
Note:
Please inform about the installed type of sensor and unit. The laboratory analysis
will be performed with the same equipment.
2.3.3 Tube diameter and wall thickness
For tube diameter and wall thicknesses to be processed, the correct sensor type is determined in
the laboratory. Some information for guidance see chapter "Technical Data - Sensors".
