Manufacturers of hot rolled bar and rod struggle not only with randomly distributed flaws in the finished products but also with defective rollers that lead to repetitive defects. Our hotrod inspection system addresses both of these concerns. Firstly, the quality of the rod or bar is evaluated and classified for you using a classification scheme that you can configure.Secondly, you can pinpoint damaged roller elements in the production line that cause periodic defects, provided you have the necessary roller data. The EDDYTREND software displays the last 4 coils to let you identify quality trends early and stop production deterioration before it escalates.
Inspection: Encircling coil for full-body inspection. For a more thorough inspection, a rotating system is used simultaneously for identifying longitudinal grooves.
