Data Marking
The robotic marking system enables flexible pipe marking in pipe coating facilities. The system functions completely autonomously. The robot automatically adjusts to different pipe diameters based on actual pipe size and position.
- System can mark pipes internally and externally
- Automatic adjustment to pipe diameters
- High precision pipe placement is not necessary
- Self-cleaning print head
- Simple to operate, no robotics expertise required!
Pipe End Measurement
Selmers Robotic Pipe End Measurement (PEM) automatically measures pipe bevel geometry and out-of-roundness at the pipe ends. The system produces a dimensional inspection report containing critical dimensions and stores these in the preferred storage media.
- Self-adaptive to the pipe position
- Autonomous system, no need for settings or adjustments by personnel
- Automatic calibration sequence
- 360° measurement for seven properties of the pipe end
- Simple to operate – no robotics expertise required!
Coating Thickness Measurement
The Robotic Coating Thickness Measurement measures single layer FBE, ARO, Multi-layer, and liquid coatings. Individual layer thicknesses, as well as total thickness at critical spots like weld seam tops, can be monitored and reported continuously.
- Autonomous system, no need for settings or adjustments by personnel
- Automatic adjustment to a difference in pipe diameters
- Automatic coating thickness control
- Reduction possibility in the consumption of coating material
- Continuous proof of layer thickness on the whole pipe
Blasting
Robotic blasting systems bring a new level of automation to the joint blasting process. Combining a closed loop vacuum blast system with a robot means that it is possible to achieve an optimum clean process with a continuous and even blast result.
- Minimized abrasive spillage due to excellent alignment of the blasting nozzle
- Increased level of safety
- Constant quality of blast result
- Automatic adjustment to differences in pipe diameters
- Automatic recognition of blast and weld area’s
