WI-2000 weld inspection system from Xiris Automation now features Class 2 laser

Xiris Automation Inc. has released a new version of its WI-2000 weld inspection system for tube and pipe manufacturing that incorporates a Class 2 laser. This laser is not a skin or materials burn hazard, nor does it harm the human eye, so installation of the system no longer requires a laser safety officer.

The system has a constant laser output, and the user can adjust the camera exposure to control the brightness of the laser line in the acquired image. It is suitable for use with steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and coated materials.

The weld inspection system can be integrated on most tube mills that employ open arc welding such as laser, GTAW, or plasma power sources, as well as on clean HF and ERW mills.
