Inline thermographic weld seam monitoring

Inline Weld Seam Monitoring for Tube & Profile Welding Lines

Make every tube weld visible before quality becomes a question. Detect cold welds, pores, penetration issues and process drift in real time with passive infrared thermography.

ThermoProfileScanner TPS TPS applications

The ThermoProfileScanner System

Passive thermography for continuous process confidence.

The ThermoProfileScanner is a patented inline monitoring system for volumetric, non-destructive testing of weld seams in tube and profile welding lines. A high-resolution infrared line camera captures the real thermal field right after welding, helping teams detect deviations while production is still running.

100%: inline weld seam monitoring
300+: applications worldwide
200 m/min: supported welding speed
