Hot rolling of slabs to produce coils can affect the surface quality of the steel being produced. AMETEK Surface Vision’s inspection solutions help identify defects during this process, maintaining product quality.
After hot rolling, steel coils are often pickled to remove surface scale and then cold rolled to the required final thickness and surface finish. AMETEK Surface Vision solutions ensure surface quality is achieved.
Hot or cold rolled strip is often coated for added corrosion resistance or aesthetic purposes. We detect irregularities or coating defects during the coil coating process for metallic & non-metallic coatings.
Finishing processes like slitting & cutting to length, divide coils into customer specified orders of slit coils or cut sheets. Dividing steel coils into the correct size & shape requires a monitoring solution.
Steel is used in a range of applications, requiring high standard surface and edge quality with minimal defects. Our systems provide high speed, high-precision automated inspection solutions.
