Measurement types
Geometric Shape Measurement
Precision profiling of diameter, circularity, eccentricity and surface defects in cylindrical or hollow components
The challenge
- Many industrial and defense applications require the geometric characterization of cylindrical parts, including inner diameter, roundness, surface integrity, or wear
- Manual inspection methods lack accuracy, traceability, or repeatability — and are time-consuming
- In military applications, such as gun barrels, it is critical to monitor internal wear, pitting, diameter loss, or coating damage
- Environments may be metallic, magnetic, and difficult to access (e.g. confined tubes, long bores, or coated surfaces)
Our technical response
- Barrel Control System (BCS) designed for high-resolution, non-contact inspection of gun barrels and tubes
- Measurement with multiple capacitive sensors mounted on a probe and adapted to the tube’s material, coating and geometry
- High repeatability for inner diameter, circularity, and coating thickness defects
- Scalable solutions for various diameters and inspection depths
- Measurement output is digitally processed and compatible with documentation requirements from barrel manufacturers and inspection authorities
Proven applications
- Get high-precision geometric mapping of internal tubes without mechanical contact
- Prevent failures and qualify components before and after field operation
- Adapt to both military standards and energy sector specifications
- Offer digital traceability and documentation of barrel health over time
- Reduce maintenance downtime and enhance operator safety
