Tube Inspection Station
ROMER’s Tube Inspection Station is a turnkey package that provides the tools you need to
inspect everything from hydraulic tubing to exhaust pipe. When used with the optional magnetic
base, the ROMER system is the only portable tube inspection system on the market. The system
will determine lengths, bend angles, tube springback and corrected bend data.
1000i Portable CMM sets the standard for accurate,
affordable coordinate measuring machines for tube
inspection. The arm is made of lightweight, temperaturestable
carbon graphite that ensures accuracy regardless
of ambient temperature.
Advanced design includes infinite rotation of the arm’s
principal axes, avoiding damage caused by hitting a
rotational hardstop. ROMER’s patented arm spool
guarantees no wire breakage.
Non-contact infrared tube probes are suitable for
measuring from wire to
150mm tubes. Whether the
material is stainless steel,
aluminum or plastic, the
probes can be used to
determine lengths, bend
angles, tube springback
and corrected bend data. These intelligent probes are
changable on the fly without tools or the need to
recalibrate.
Portability is provided with the optional magenetic base,
which allows the operator to move the lightweight arm to
any location.
OPTIONS include casters for inspection table, CPU tray for
underside of table, monitor/keyboard support stand,
additional 6mm, 25mm, 75mm, 100mm and 150mm noncontact
tube probes, magnetic base, color inkjet printer,
and tube clamp.

Windows Supravision
Supravision is the premier Windows-based software package for inspecting or reverse
engineering plastic, rubber or metallic tubing using a non-contact infrared probe on a ROMER
articulating arm.
Easy to Use: Supravision provides clear, concise
commands for a quick learning curve.
Operators are assisted with integrated calibration
and diagnostics, audible feedback, and graphic
displays with “Soft Fixture Measuring and Inspection”.
Versatile and Intelligent: The software enables
selection of features and operations by remote control
using hand movement probe command. Keyboard
operation is not required.
In addition, tube data may be output through a
variety of formats, both absolute or incremental
length rotation and angle data. Tube geometry data
may be exchanged with ROMER’s Suprastuff and
PowerINSPECT software.
Probes Available: Supravision is able to use a wide
variety of ROMER’s intelligent, pre-calibrated, quickchange
non-contact probes to support measurement
of various tube diameters.
Powerful inspection modes: Several inspection
modes are available in Supravision to provide
powerful tools for the inspector. These include:
Straight Scan Mode: Allows the operator to take more
Supervision solid model screenshot
than two measurements per straight to calculate a
better average for the straight vector.
End Multiple Sweep Mode: Allows the end of the
tube to be swept from both directions several times to
collect more data (up to 30 points) for averaging.
Variable Diameter Measuring (also referred to as
Double Precision): Allows the measurement of tubes
with different diameters along the straight sections of
the tube.
The use of this option helps minimize the effects of
any ovality or roughness that might exist by
averaging the measurements for each sweep. This
requires non-contact measuring with a “quad-view”
probe.
Guided Measuring: Allows the operator to program
the two points to be measured for each straight in
terms of the distance from the tangent points, then be
guided via visible and audio signals to take
measurements in the proximity of the programmed
points.
This helps to guide the operator to the same points
on a tube each time it is inspected.
