Based on 30 years of experience and a variety of revolutionary ideas, iNOEX has for 30 years developed systems and solutions which are precisely tuned to the specific demands arising in the pipe, profile, cable, sheet and film extrusion industry.
The latest innovation by iNOEX is the Terahertz based hand-held system called WARP portable. This new type of portable device supplies measured data (wall thickness at the measured spot, wall thickness on the opposite side, interior/exterior pipe diameters) on the LCD display at just the touch of a button. The advantage of Terahertz technology lies in its temperature-independent measurement and its electromagnetic radiation which is harmless to health.
The Terahertz source for WARP is a transceiver developed by iNOEX and a state-of-the-art THz chip. WARP is ideally suited for the measurement of all common plastic materials such as PE, HDPE, PP, PA, PVC etc.. The battery-operated hand-held device has been specifically designed for medium and large-sized pipes. The modern ergonomic design offers great user comfort and thanks to the simple operation, WARP portable delivers fast and reliable measuring results. Exchangeable centering for large or medium pipe sizes round this product. A point measurement of the wall thickness of plastic pipes is out. The handheld suitable for pipes having wall thickness of 5 mm or more, measuring accuracy is 50 μm.

The simple intuitive operation is based on a capacitive touch display featuring a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels inside the WARP portable. After the measurement, wall thickness data or – in the case of diameter measurement through the pipe cross section – both wall thickness values and the interior and exterior wall thickness sizes are displayed.The system features data logging including timestamp and measurement position on pipe circumference. For recipes only the processed material needs to be entered. Configuration will be done by way of a separate configuration mask. Data transmission is possible via WLAN or USB to Smartphone, Tablet or PC.
Additionally, it is possible to switch between metrical and imperial units. WARP portable features a modern nickelmetal- hydride-battery which will last for several hours of continuous measurement. Thus, the user can dispose of up to 10 hours of operation time. The protection class of WARP portable is IP 54, this means it is well protected against water or dust encountered in industrial environments.
