AICON Wins Gold Medal

An expert jury at CONTROL-TECH in Poland has awarded the optical 3D tube and wire measurement system TubeInspect P8 from AICON 3D Systems GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany) with the Gold Medal of the Kielce Trade Fairs, marking a great success after a long development phase for the new benchmark in tube and wire measurement.

The launch of the new system has been highly successful. One of the first companies that began working with TubeInspect P8 is IBP Instalfittings (Poznań, Poland), an established international manufacturer and supplier of components and fittings to the OEM business that produces copper tubes for different industries. They are already reporting faster measurements, more accuracy, and better quality.

TubeInspect P8 was introduced at the Tube & Wire in Düsseldorf, Germany, in April 2014 as the first model of the new generation TubeInspect P-series that has set new standards in tube measurement. The system is equipped with latest camera and LED illumination technology as well as a highly precise and long-term stable glass reference. It is suitable for tubes and wires from 1 mm up to 125 mm diameter and up to 1 m long.

Its lateral doors allow for an overlapping repositioning section by section, which makes it possible to measure components with an end-to-end-length of up to 2 m. Due to its compact size and the various convenient functions, TubeInspect P8 can easily be transported to different sites for measuring.

The system fulfills the highest requirements regarding accuracy and measurement speed. Combined with the software platform BendingStudio, it offers various application-oriented functionalities as a convincing affordable alternative to slower handheld measuring systems.

AICON 3D Systems GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany) is one of the world’s leading providers of optical camera-based 3D measuring systems. The company, founded in 1990, develops and distributes systems for inspection and testing, including car safety and tube inspection.
