Objective Automatic surface inspection systems have been and are the subject of important developments, due to the ever-increasing requirements for higher production quality and better process controls. Only recently, these systems have reached a level of performance high enough to allow their use routinely, with some success, on different manufacturing lines ranging from pickling lines, through hot-dip galvanising lines to tin plate lines. The project intends to develop and to test, on-line, a surface inspection system for hot-rolled plates after the levelling process. The bottom side should be inspected over a limited width of about 1meter. The goal is to detect, automatically, periodic defects in order to react more quickly on the process by, for example, grinding levelling rolls or, by changing the work rolls. In addition to this, the project will try to detect typical random defects like shells and longitudinal or transversal cracks Programme(s) ECSC-STEEL C - Medium-term guidelines for the ECSC steel RTD programme of research and pilot/demonstration projects, 1996-2002 Topic(s) T4 - On-line control Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator INSTITUT DE RECHERCHES DE LA SIDERURGIE FRANÇAISE EU contribution No data Address Immeuble "PACIFIC", La Défense 7 11/13 Cours Valmy 92800 PUTEAUX France See on map Total cost No data Participants (2) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all Dillinger Hüttenwerke AG Germany EU contribution No data Address 66748 Dillingen See on map Total cost No data THYSSEN KRUPP STAHL Germany EU contribution No data Address Kaiser-Wilhelmstrasse 100 47166 DUISBURG See on map Total cost No data
