New surface fault detection algorithms for PROFILEMASTER® SPS Monitoring Systems from ZUMBACH
Due to the continuous success and the growing demand of surface inspection, ZUMBACH Electronics has launched two new main features on the PROFILEMASTER® SPS product family. The latest generation of high-speed cameras allow the acquisition of full product contours at a rate of 2000Hz. This allows a stable and reliable measurement even on very high line speeds and challenging products like rebar. In addition, the new surface fault detection algorithm (software option “SFD”) also benefits from the faster cameras as smaller surface faults can be detected. It is also possible to inspect any kind of complex products such as rails and profiles.
Since the launch of the PROFILEMASTER SPS family, the monitoring systems have proven their reliability under harsh environments of rolling mills for hot and cold steel rods, bars, profiles and much more. Various models are available with 4 up to 8 laser/camera modules and different measuring field sizes to cover product dimensions from 5 mm (.2 in.) up to 720 mm (28.3 in.). All relevant dimensions such as width, height, angle and radius or other geometric characteristics are displayed in an operator-friendly graphical user interface. Changes in speed and twist within normal limits have no influence on the measurement precision.
