The LASER FORK is a Class 2 Laser suitable in any environment. It triggers on any kind of material without particular settings and it is, as the whole system including the arm, a IP51 protection grade device. The arm and the probes are temperature compensated and can work normally from 5 to 45 degrees C.

R-EVO-TUBE and R-EVO-TUBE CAD

R-EVO-TUBE package is including:

  • 1 Qty R-EVO-7 7axes articulated arm
  • 1 Qty Laser fork between available size: 30, 50, 80, 150mm
  • R-EVO-TUBE: 1 software license TUBE INSPECT for pipe and geometric elements inspection (NO-CAD)
  • R-EVO-TUBE CAD: 1 software license TUBE INSPECT STUDIO for pipe and geometric elements inspection, with possibility to import CAD models (IGES, STEP formats) and get a direct comparison against CAD.

Why choose R-EVO-TUBE?

R-EVO-TUBE can measure, report and correct the pipe bending program directly by an interface with the pipe bending machine. The information of the measured pipe, in YBC or other format, can be copied or directly transmitted to the bending machine, correcting the program into the machine controller, adjusting the parameters according to the measured values.

The powerful software can align and best fit the measured pipe values into the part nominals with much more accuracy than any fixture or other measuring method.
