TV

Tube Visualization
 
The system TV has been designed for the operation 
and data processing at a tubing line.

Tasks

  • Data logging and storage of the relevant parameters of a tubing line
  • Monitoring of the tubing line, alert signal processing
  • Daily Logbook
  • Graphic display of the trends
  • Support of technology analysis
  • Statistic evaluation of the measured values
  • Issue of the manufacturing and delivery certificate
Structure

The system comprises an Pentium-PC in an 
industrial quality, the interface to the measuring devices, the printer as well as a special software. 
It is a multi-task and real time software. The data logging is continued even if the computer is used 
for other tasks, e.g. input of new manufacturing data 
or analysis of former manufacturing periods.

Operation

The operation can easily be done:
The system is Windows based. The operator's interface is adapted to the special needs of tubing lines. The data analysis can be done by a number
of tools, for example zoom functions. Further investigations can be made by means of data base systems, for example Excel.

Advantages

  • The operator of the tubing line is supported substantially.
  • The certificate of delivery is generated automatically on the base of a 100% control.  The quality of the manufacturing can be shown  to the customer in a convincing way.
  • Parameters and status of the tubing line are monitored continuously.
  • The technology analysis is assisted by the automatic data logging and the data analysis    in an essential way.

Example of the screens: The trend of the diameter average, maximum and minimum are shown for a time period of 
10 minutes.
 
 
 


The thickness profile has been measured off-line. 
Average and sliding are shown for each sample.
 
 


The statistic computation provides the characters and the histograms as well.
