UShS "Tapirus" with cover and supports

The UShS TapiRus is designed to replace numerous templates and devices used in visual and measuring quality control of welded joints. It is approved as a means of measuring the geometric parameters of welded joints and surface defects during visual and measuring control (VIC) and supplied with verification. It allows you to determine most of the geometric parameters of welded joints and surface defects: the width and convexity of the seam, the depth of the cut, the amount of edge displacement, the angle of the angular seam, the angle of the bevel and the gap, etc. Equipped with supports that allow you to uniquely position the template on a curved surface. To carry out measurements with an error of 0.1 mm, scales with a vernier are applied to the TapiRUS surface. It contains a number of gauges for assessing the smooth transition from the deposited to the base metal, the size of the cathets, radii and angles of cutting edges. Equipped with a probe with a replaceable measuring needle to determine the size of gaps and heights / depressions.

The development, preparation for production and manufacture of TapiRus were carried out exclusively in digital format.

The latest laser and additive technologies are used in the production of TapiRUS:

high-precision laser cutting machines in inert gas;
five-axis CNC machining centers;
ultra-precise color laser engraving of the entire product assembled;
laser stereolithography (SLA) is a technology of layer–by-layer synthesis of a material from a liquid photopolymer.

Advantages

Easy to install. Accurate positioning along the normal to the surface of the object of control and stability of the position when performing measurements.
Functionality. Measurement of most geometric parameters of welded joints and surface defects.
Measurement accuracy. The measurement error on the template scales does not exceed 0.1 mm.
Modernity. Online calculator ergonomic accessories smart version.
