VISIO® system is designed for automated visual and dimensional inspection of circumferential weld joints of pipes from 273 mm (10 inches) and more. VISIO can be used either as part of the XPRESS-SCAN® digital radiography complex or as a standalone device. The main purpose of the system is to acquire, process, and archive digital profiles characterizing the shape and dimensions of weld joints.

The unit consists of a laser triangulation 2D scanner mounted on a carriage, which moves along the annular weld on a pipe band according to a pre-set program. Inspection can be performed both with the module stationary and in motion: the carriage moves from one position to another, covering the entire weld joint. The control results of the weld joint are transmitted to the operator's PC in real-time wirelessly.
