Objective
The aim of this project is to develop a reliable technology for automatic inspection of stainless strips by means of linear silicon sensors and image processing, screened by data concentrator and treated by a computer. Unlike other metallic materials, the manufacture of cold rolled stainless steel flat products is made unique by the need to supply surfaces of very high quality. The requirements of the end user are becoming increasingly stringent as they aim for higher quality in their finished products and reduced manufacturing costs. The aim of this joint effort is to replace current visual inspection methods of surface quality assessment by more reliable automatic system of monitoring quality at the different stages of the production process.
The work will be shared between the two partners as follows: -Terni Acciai Speciali will place its inspection system at the end of the first processing line (hot rolled, annealed and pickled strips) -Ugine Aciers de Chatillon & Gueugnon will place its system at the end of the final processing line (colled rolled, annealed strip).
