Sharpe Products adds tube inspection system

Sharpe Products, New Berlin, Wis., a provider of pipe and tube bending, laser cutting, and custom fabrication services, has purchased an additional Aicon TubeInspect system manufactured by Hexagon Mfg. This 16-camera model complements the company’s existing eight-camera system and allows it to inspect larger parts.

The equipment visually measures the geometry and sizing of a bent tube and verifies angles and tolerances based on the specifications in the digital file, generating a multidimensional image of the bent part. Adjustments, if needed, are transmitted to the CNC bending machine. The equipment offers real-time diagnostics and monitoring during inspection.
