Inline high-speed 3D Edge Inspection: Safer, More Reliable Steel Processing
Have you considered the big impact metal edges have on your process? Even if the metal sheet surface looks adequate, it won’t be up to standard if the edges are irregular. Jagged areas, burrs and other micro-defects can lead to cracks during forming, unstable downstream processes, and increased safety risks during handling. This is especially the case with high-strength steel and edge inspection in high-speed lines.
With our new SE-Inspector based on the 3D laser sensor C6 Series we aim to reinforce monitoring on this tricky area. This device captures the three-dimensional data of metal sheet edges with high accuracy. Traditional scanning sensors provide fast and proven profile data for many applications, but, without laser line triangulation, crucial data is lost when complex edge geometry is involved. This is the case during metal sheet processing due to its high speed, making it very hard to profile digitally.
However, the powerful 3D laser sensor C6 Series makes it possible thanks to an impressive scanning speed of up to 350 m/min, which positions this device as a leader in the market. Any type of imperfection is detected at an early stage, before it affects forming quality, increase scrap, or cause unplanned machine downtime. Additionally, the robust industrial design, combined with protective accessories and low maintenance requirements, makes the hardware well suited for continuous steel production environments.
The result goes beyond measurement data: safer workplaces, higher process stability, and consistent edge quality from coil to coil. With true 3D insight, you can obtain additional depth information for a comprehensive view of edge conditions. Data that matters not just for high-quality products, but also to help safeguard steel processes and your personnel.
