Surface Inspection
Arcon has developed a range of Inspection Lines to suit the needs of steel suppliers with increasing demands for high quality products for the automotive and white goods markets.
Using the experience gained over many years with major steel suppliers, Arcon supplies lines with manual or fully automatic surface inspection systems. This provides the option of electronically tagging the faulty surface area for use on the next process, or removing the lengths of material for second grade or scrap. The manual inspection systems use strobe lighting and a defect logging system, whereas the fully automatic systems use on-line cameras.
Arcon Inspection Lines can handle coils up to 35 000 kgs in weight, up to 2000 mm in width, and with thicknesses of between 0.3 and 3 mm. Depending on the application, line speeds of up to 500 metres per minute are possible.
Arcon Inspection Lines are designed to meet the requirements of each individual customer and normally include additional features such as tension levelling, re-coiling and edge trimming.
