US Patent 12067702 Methods and devices for inspecting tubes

A system for inspecting a tube can comprise a first image acquisition device that is configured to capture at least one image of the first end of the tube. A second image acquisition device can be configured to capture at least one image of at least a portion of the outer surface of the circumferential wall of the tube. A first conveyor can be configured to position the tube so that the first image acquisition device can capture the at least one image of the first end of the tube and the second image acquisition device can capture the at least one image of at least a portion of the circumferential wall of the tube. A computing device can be configured to determine, based on the at least one image from the first image acquisition device or the at least one image from the second image acquisition device, if the tube has a flaw.
