OMS releases PFM Laser Scanner

Adaptation to popular Bevel 360 tool scans bevels immediately after machining – fully integrated into PFM

OMS is pleased to announce that we have released the PFM Laser Scanner. An adaptation to our best-selling Bevel 360 laser bevel measurement tool, the PFM Laser Scanner is integrated into pipe-facing machines in an enclosure. Once bevelling has taken place, the enclosure opens, allowing the tool to deploy and make a complete rotation of the pipe face to capture full bevel geometry and pipe dimensions. If any bevel issues are identified, the pipe can be re-machined without having to move the PFM and insert any additional tooling. 

Marcus Smiles, OMS Global Manager, said, ‘The PFM Laser Scanner is a very welcome modification to the popular Bevel 360 tool. The ability to carry out bevel scans while the PFM is still in position increases process efficiency, saving our clients both time and money.’ 

The PFM Laser Scanner is already in widespread use worldwide. If you would like any further information, our team is always available. Contact them on info@omsmeasure.com or +44 1279 656038.

Bevel 360 laser measurement system

Achieve better pipe fit-up, higher quality welds and improved pipeline integrity. The Bevel360 provides comprehensive information on pipe bevel geometry, helping welding proceed efficiently.

The Bevel 360 laser bevel measurement tool eliminates doubt about bevel compliance, providing the user with an unrivalled insight into critical pipe bevel geometry. Improved understanding of the pipe bevel shape means welding can be a more efficient, streamlined process. The system can be integrated in-line with your facility, allowing for uninterrupted production and further improving efficiency. It can be deployed immediately after bevelling, prior to pipes being moved into production and can perform a complete scan of a pipe end in as little as 25 seconds. This produces a 360 degree measurement profile of the bevel.
