Solutions for Tube, Wire, and Hose Measurement

EMicroScribe has teamed with TeZet Cad to provide a quality solution for the measurement of tubes, wires and hoses.

Under this new development, Tezet's tube specialised software solution, TeZetCAD, has been integrated in the affordable portable device for 3D measurement - Microscribe and RSI Laser Scanner.  Available immediately in the United States and Canada  for progressive companies such as automotive, aircraft, and marine, suppliers will be able to take advantage of the benefits of the partnership immediately.

Suppliers of exhaust pipes for construction and other vehicles are very interested in the new solution, particularly because of the level of data quality for bending pibes with a circumference of 150mm and more. Manufacturers can now use the  MicroScribe and RSI laser equipped with TeZet CAD software to easily generate a tube design in a CAD environment.

Customers in all major industries will be capable of measurement and correction of tubes of all sizes and forms, including complex geometries of freeform bent tubes. At present, TeZet is the only software globally that can measure and correct freeform bent tubes.  This will benefit the customers who haven't yet had access to high quality, affordable, portable laser measurement technology.

The innovative portion of this solution is the ability to measure freeform bent tubes with the MicroScribe RSI laser solution so that tube benders can actually bend tubes by extracting them graphically from CAD drawings. Untill now, the only method that allowed measurement of the reproducibility and quality control for freefrom bent tubes was traditional laser scanning. Users need to collect points and convert the point cloud into polygons or nurbs to generate a tube design on the screen without having any tube data, which is a cumbersom and time consuming process.  TeZet offers a software module for the MicroScirbe RSI laser scanner that allows automatic calculation of tube data during the scanning procedure.  The user no longer needs to use the complex and lengthy method of converting millions of points in order to extract the tube coordinate and bending data necessary for masterpiece inspection and comparison within the production procedure.

TeZet CAD is developed in Switzerland and, typical of their work, the mission is to offer precision, quality software, reliability and maximum service.
