Tube Inspector
3D inside tube inspection
The Tube Inspector provides a 3D inside tube inspection based on on the
measurement values of the Circular Triangulation Sensor (CiTriS). CiTriS is mounted on an extension arm. For the scanning process the sensor will be traveled out of the housing into the tube.
The result is a precise 3D model of the internal tube geometry.
