A precision laser-based 3D inspection system to detect quality issues related to forming & welding processes on larger diameter tube or pipe mills.
Making welded tube and pipe requires several key variables to be in check for efficient, stable production and to meet the increasing quality demands of the industry. Mill dynamics, from setup to production, have an impact on the stability of these variables and measurement / monitoring is the first step in controlling these variables and improving weld quality.
Xiris’s proven laser-based vision system technology with high resolution, fast data capture and analysis rates provides real-time detection of defects down to 0.030 mm in size. Defects inspected include mismatch, undercut, sunken welds, bead height, deflection, freeze line and scarfing defects.
Several models of the WI-3000 are available depending on the Field of View (FOV) requirements, type of Mill and size of the Tube/Pipe being run during the welding process.
The WI-3000 system is particularly suitable for a wide range of HF Mills making tube/pipe from OD >12 mm with bead sides up to 28mm wide. Other applications also include Longitudinal or Spiral Pipe manufacturing.
Seeing is believing
The standard WI-3000 system is composed of an Image Acquisition Assembly (including Sensor Head, Sensor Mount/adjust assembly), an Image Processing/Display console (HMI Console with touchscreen monitor, Industrialized PC), status light tower and interface control module. The WI-3000 system is liquid cooled.

Service & Training
Xiris provides its customer base with various levels of service, including new system installation and training, system upgrades and preventative maintenance programs. Many of our partners are trained to offer additional support on our systems.
System Upgrades
Many of our older systems in the field have been upgraded to allow the use of new hardware and software features including improved system reliability, system security, production reporting and updated operating systems. Do you have an older Xiris vision system? Please call your Xiris account manager to receive more information regarding the immediate benefits of a system upgrade.
Preventative Maintenance Visits
Many of our clients request a Preventative Maintenance visit in conjunction with a new system delivery or as a separate service. Our technicians will optimize the performance of the system, upgrade software as applicable, look for potential part failures and conduct training as desired by the client during the visit.
Warranty
All Xiris systems are shipped with a 15-month warranty from the day of shipment from Xiris or a 12-month warranty which commences from the first day of use (whichever comes first). Please have your Xiris system serial number available when you call so we can determine your system warranty status as well as your support plan level.
Once your Warranty expires, your Xiris Account Manager will contact you to discuss your long term support needs. Xiris offers different levels of support plan.
