RPS X-TUBE Series
The X-TUBE is an advanced, dedicated portable arm CMM system optimized specifically for tube inspection and complex tube reverse engineering. By delivering accurate and repeatable measurements directly in challenging industrial environments, it tangibly increases workflow efficiency, minimizes downtime, and elevates competitiveness for companies operating in the pipe and tubing industry
Utilizes a specialized Laser Fork (Class 2 laser, available in 4 tailored sizes) designed to efficiently acquire critical geometrical data, including center axes, bends, vertices, and straight segments. It operates effectively on any material without specific preliminary settings
Empowering closed-loop manufacturing, measurement data can be directly exported in YBC and XYZ formats [cite: 3]. This allows automatic program corrections to be transmitted directly to CNC bending machines based on measured values
Constructed with carbon fiber tubes for a lightweight yet rigid profile and designed with a smooth counterbalance system for easy handling. The entire system features IP51 protection against harsh industrial contaminants
Specifically engineered for uninterrupted workflows, the hardware incorporates an automatic temperature compensation system capable of operating between 5-45°C and features a hot-swap battery system to eliminate downtime
